Overnight Open Thread [04/06/2026]
The rescue was an Easter miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive and as cool as anyone can be.-- President Donald Trump
Bravery never goes out of fashion-- William Makepeace Thackery
But the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.-- Thucydides
Where all your rights become only an accumulated wrong; where men must beg with bated breath for leave to subsist in their own land, to think their own thoughts, to sing their own songs, to garner the fruits of their own labours...then surely it is a braver, a saner and a truer thing, to be a rebel in act and deed against such circumstances as these than tamely to accept it as the natural lot of men.-- Sir Roger Casement
There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.-- Alexander Hamilton
I love America. American Exceptionalism...all 250 years of it... is a power that is unrivaled in the world. But I cannot remember a time during which I was more proud of my country and being an American than right now. Our magnificent armed forces, made up entirely of the American people, morphed from a pathetic, woke, mess of a force just a few years ago, into a cohesive group that is entirely focused on one thing: destroying our enemies in defense of our nation. They are magnificent, and represent the highest ideals of our great country.
And here's the other side!
Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself.

She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it.
6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on.… pic.twitter.com/2OckmKzAiM
We aren't the only culture that loves its pets! This is in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Great place, and absolutely huge. Wear walking shoes! Although there is a great pub about a five minute walk down the street, so all will be rewarded with a pint of a delicious English cask ale. Bashaw

"Are you tired of hitting 'Post' before your brain has finished loading? Do you suffer from sudden, uncontrollable urges to share your unfiltered thoughts with the entire internet? You may have Premature Postulation.
Millions of Americans experience embarrassing early posts every day. But now there's help.
Ask your doctor if Premature Postulation is right for you.
Premature Postulation is a once-daily tablet that helps you wait… just a little bit longer… before you regret what you said online.
Side effects may include:
Actually thinking before you post
Fewer late-night “why did I say that?” moments
Sudden bursts of self-awareness
And in rare cases… dignity
Warning: Do not take Premature Postulation if you are currently experiencing a hot take, political rant, or strong urge to argue with strangers.
Premature Postulation: Because some things are better left in the drafts.
Ask your doctor today if Premature Postulation is for you.
Results may vary. Not approved for use while drunk, angry, or extremely online.

From last thread:
>>
Publius, how much navigation can be manually performed by the Orion crew? The Apollo missions could get aligned with a sextant and stars and the rest of it, in a pinch. They wanted to be able to get home again one way or another. Independent of Mission Control, if radio comms were lost, or the Soviets jammed frequencies, or the computer horked.
--------------------
Apollo *required* manual navigation alignment. They had to get their gyro angles manuall reset ever so often and to correct for drift. Think of this as sighting stars to get their own XYZ axis reference properly aligned.
With Orion, it's all automated. Now, I don't know for sure, but I'm certain they would be manual contigency procedures they were trained in if the system failed. But otherwise, manual alignment is not needed.

Four US Army Douglas World Cruisers on that date took off from Seattle. All the navigation they had as via dead reckoning as there were no radios or navigation aids. Two of the four planes would complete the epic journey - Chicago and New Orleans. Two would be lost attempting the heroic effort- Seattle and Boston, all the crews survived.
The planes might have been US Army but the Coast Guard and US Navy would be on hand in planning and support. So this was a fully American effort as ships, personnel, and equipment would be scattered across the globe for this effort.
102 years later, we have witnessed Artemis II go back to the Moon.

A Colonel as WSO? Why?
Air Force Pararescuemen, also known as PJs, are the only DoD elite combat forces specifically organized, trained, equipped, and postured to conduct full spectrum Personnel Recovery (PR) to include both conventional and unconventional combat rescue operations. They use Blackhawks.
Instead, DoD sent Seal Team Six, B-1 bombers, C-130s, little birds. Huh. Why?
Near Isfahan, site of enriched uranium. Was something else going on with the mission?

Art the Clown sightings. There's a 2011 'Terrifier - the Short'.
The movie is about 20 minutes but cool. 'All Hallow's Eve' has pretty much all the Art clips tossed together. Circle too. A clip show movie. Not too bad. The second one doesn't have Art.
'Hobo with a Shotgun' was really good and messed up. Especially for a Canadian movie.
And I have seen a few more Korean horrors.

I have been rather puffed up with pride or flatulence over the USA military since forever,but this rescue, oh, boys. IT IS AWESOME!
On top of the skill and planning, our guys wiped out more barbarians! How sweet it is! And rescued all of the pilots (I know he was a wiz something but I'm calling him a pilot because I can).
I am so proud of every single one involved in this rescue or who helped prepare for it.
Millions of prayers answered on Easter Morning makes it more wonderful for the rescue of this man. The US Military no longer leaves anyone behind, like the previous nightmare in diapers.
God Bless America and God bless Moron's and 'ettes, today and every day.
I also liked reading about Chloe, the woke wombat.

Ah, but you're wrong, CBD. Our "force" was never all that woke. It was still full to some extent with people who desire to go against the odds and do great deeds, slaying dragons and toppling tyrants. They weren't allowed to concentrate on that, though. They were stifled, but they were still there, just waiting to burst forth again.
Yes, there are still problematic folks within the ranks, and more than a few in higher ranks and positions. But if the force were truly chock full of wokies and Karens and commies, they never could have come back in one year.
No, these folks were in hiding within the military, waiting for their opportunity to go forth and do great things, once again. BZ, Hooah!, and Aim High!

It isn’t well known, but Commanders on the Space Shuttle took to installing a padlock on the hatch whilst in orbit. There was an incident with one of the foreign “mission specialists” who completely wigged out after the experiment he had been working on for years failed in space. Time is limited, and they had to move on to other things. He started talking in apocalyptic tones and concerning statements. The hatch could be opened in Orbit and ground controllers became concerned

It's below freezing in my part of Canada. My friends' cat Snowflake was by the patio window, after sleeping on my bed all afternoon, wanting to come in. The litterbox, water and a blanket on a shelf is in the garage. I opened the door, turned on the light and walked in deciding that was better than outside.

Th extra gas mileage over the Regal's 22 (on regular) almost paid for the price difference. I never got to take the BMW on a real road trip; I'll bet I could have managed 35 mpg or more even at 70.
The LaCrosse is rated for regular, though I try to put E0 in it when I can. Saw 34 on E0 coming back from Birmingham last year, at 70 the whole way, with the A/C on!

A good friend of mine (now deceased) was on the planning team for Son Tay. It was an incredible accomplishment given the technology and intelligence of the time. We got better with the bin Laden raid but still managed to step on our crank.
The difference here is those events had time to plan. This rescue had just hours to put together a plan and to execute. Sure, an overall SAR plan was in place but you don't know when or where someone goes down. This is where Americans shine.

Well, have fun for me as I have loved it since college! I think I've been to Westminster Abbey 5 times. They day the barbarians burn it down I will go a bit loco, as I was bad enough for Notre Dame.
Enjoy the window boxes! The first time I went, in college on an English Lit travel study, I enjoyed everything a bit too much from pubs. Brit men asked me to streak three different times (it was big then in the US). They'd rag at me about "Tricky Dick" and I ignored them because I voted for him. I rode a horse through Hyde Park and made a fool of myself. Many things happened over 3 weeks.
On the return flight through Atlanta a bunch of us did not hear our plane number as we were in a bar drinking. My parents said there was a big "Welcome Home" thing at the airport and seven of us did not get off the plane. This, right there, tells you what they put up with but still loved me anyway. We caught the next plane to be welcomed by irritated parents. In case you wondered, I wasn't fazed.

Theirs was a form of government where you couldn’t even buy a toaster or a washing machine or a car that anyone would actually buy otherwise, but there was no choice in the matter.
You couldn’t decide to move somewhere else, or even travel, without permission. You couldn’t quit your job and get another, all these things required permission from the local police and Soviet authorities.
This kind of thing was one reason Sputnik frightened everyone. A lot of people didn’t think such a backward, fucked up society had the engineering chops to launch a satellite into space

125 There are those suspicious types that noticed that the Iranian Uranium is stored near where the plane went down and the C-130s landed, and suspect there may be some link to a snatch and grab. However, there is supposed to be 600kg there so it would be hard to get it all and stay un-irradiated
Posted by: Kindltot at April 06, 2026 10:11 PM

Enriched uranium is not very radioactive. However, the Iranian stuff is reportedly in the form of compressed uranium hexafluoride gas in tanks, and that is chemically highly reactive and chemically highly toxic.

Well, that and Tang at my grandparents later in that weekend of forced playing outside with cousins all day. We had gangs and picked on the out of towners from New Orleans.
They only let us inside if it was raining and for meals. This grandfather gave us Dentyne gum.Sugarless poisons early in life. Sometimes this grandmother gave me castor oil without explaining why. I think that's what it was. I was pale but am also blonde.
Between this and riding bikes through DDT clouds in summers made me who I am today.
If injured this grandmother sprayed methiolate or jet fuel on open wounds that nearly sent you into another stratosphere. I don't recall a warning of a bit of a sting...your pain went to 10 or 1l in a split second sitting on that bathroom commode.

I get that. He thrusts he head under my hand at every opportunity, and is known to bite randomly when petting is not as immediate as preferred.
The thing is, I get no sleep, during the night and during the day because of these rituals. I understand the need for attention, but if I die and rot, I cannot pet a cat absent some occult rituals you might know.
How is this helpful to him?

"The Russians are incapable of anything, except conquering the world".
Which perfectly captured the weird hybrid the USSR was. Things deemed important by the state, i.e. mostly military things, were attended to, received resources, and generally were pretty good - at least good enough for purpose. Which made the USSR a formidable potential menace. Even while much of the country's society and economy was a sad mess.
Maintenance not in your culture or vocabulary? Make things that don't require a lot of maintenance but still work. ICBM accuracy not so hot? Use very large yield payloads that produce damage expectancy similar to more accurate systems. And so on.

Could be! This grandmother tried to teach me about sex by pollinating daylilies. I think that was what she was doing by making seeds and her own daylilies all over her backyard (an entire yard of nothing but this and iris). I was in the Junior Garden Club and still have the button!
Her teaching meant about as much to me as the 4th grade school hygiene class (and I missed Red Skleton because it was Tuesday). I got nothing from that. Or in 5th grade and my friend showing me Barbie and Ken. Spent my years from age 9 to 20 on a farm and still did not get it as I thought the cows and horses were playing.

Speaking of Victor Glover, here's a clip of him the other day. The "Overlook Effect" is hitting him like a freight train:
https://is.gd/7cbJza
He's struggling for the words, but does a pretty good job. "Oasis in nothingness", or something close.
The Overlook Effect happens to most (but not all) astronauts at some point. It's a spiritual, transcendental type of experience. It happens in LEO, but the effect is even stronger when you get far enough from earth to see the Blue Marble effect, the earth as a small blue "oasis" against a black background of "nothingness".
It causes a bit of a Rodney King thing, "why can't we all just get along" too.

They even sent guys to try and buy them in the U.S.A. This tracked with what US intelligence believed. We had SIGINT to hack their telemetry data, and saw they were having trouble, using say, 9 accelerometers where 3 would do.

I've kinda lost my South Crackalaky accent after 30 years in Texas. Mr Scary had a Mississippi accent. They don't really sound like us down here. We leamed to enunciate and try to sound edumacated. The people in west TX look at us weird. We have managed.

One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen had a thick Southern accent. She told me (after hearing my bland non-accent) "Yew tauk funnie!" You cannot imagine how endearing that was.
Damn she was gorgeous.

My dad's first PA student was from Boston but didn't have an accent at all. Until she had a couple drinks. Everything came home I made sure she had a couple drinks

My husband, one of 5 kids, was LOCKED out of his house once a week. I hope in the summers. So his mother could clean the house.
At least I was never locked out of the house!
She also did not let them have pets as she's very OCD. He had those green samonella turtles til we got engaged and got me a puppy "to protect me." And she did once when she was grown, but he basically wanted a puppy.
I still keep forgetting to find out how the turtles give you salmonella unless you lick them. I need to write this stuff down...
I also need to go to bed. Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow! Or, Bomb Day in Iran.

One of our dogs sleeps with us. The rescue dog we were gifted with a few months ago will only sleep in her crate. It's what she was used to.

Iran is now threatening to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. [entrance to Red Sea, Suez Canal]
That narrow waterway already carries 12% of the world’s oil and gas trade and a big portion of containers moving from Asia to Europe.

Artemis is the name of the program to return to the Moon. Artemis is similar to Apollo in that sense. Artemis Program, Apollo Program.
SLS is the name of the rocket. And Orion is the name of the capsule and spacecraft.
The crew has named this particular Orion spacecraft as Integrity.

...and, if I understand the current dynamic
- SLS, the FrankenRocket is a dead end
- Artemis is getting slow rolled
- Orion is still on the table for further development... if they figure out the head.

According to my husband from NY, this is true.
He was blown away by the girls in surrounding farms that I had been friends with for most of my life. He said something was different about us, when he met them when we married. Ah don't know. We are all Ellie Mae Clampett girls.
Fresh air, free feral living, or riding bikes in DDT. Either or both.

Even though the odds are the same as the US becoming a serious country again in the next 20 years, currently the Dems have a bunch of idiots vying for the nomination, creating a small chance of no Dem emerging from the idiotic "jungle primary" system now used in this retarded paradise.
Extremely unlikely, but technically possible that if all the Dems stay in and split up their cretinous voters' votes in the primary, the two GOP hopefuls will emerge as 1 and 2. It would be the funniest thing in modern history if it happened. The buffoon Swallwell being forced out, by itself, would render that outcome nearly impossible.

Bruce,
There doesn't seem to be any accent we can discern.
Just plain talking people here. It is unusual to not hear an accent here. I can't explain it, lol.

Getting Moon fever again (reliving my childhood somewhat), I've been listening to some of the (acclerated) Apollo full mission tapes on Youtube.
Charlie Duke as Capcom was quite a pleasure to listen to. Another Apollo guy was Dr. Charles Berry (but don't call him Chuck), head flight surgeon during the Apollo program.
He had a voice, somewhat Southern with something else mixed him. That voice could convince me of anything. It was down-home, "good ole boy" someone you've known all your life, yet authoritative.

I think a lot of us are waiting to hear about what's going on in Iran.
I know I'm always scanning the news sites to read the latest.
Posted by: four seasons at April 07, 2026 12:08 AM (3ek7K)
I hate to flaunt my ignorance, but I thought the spaceship was named Artemis. I am also hearing about Orion - it sounds like they're one and the same... correct?
Posted by: 496
==============
I also thought that. I was also ashamed of my ignorance. Then I remembered that the world is surrounded by space. Space is everywhere. It makes sense that we need to go to space because space is all around us. There's so much of it and it's so empty now. We should fill it up.

They are making money, own property and have spare time to tinker. They take Vespa type scooters and make frozen river ice racers etc.
They tinker, the common man is learning how stuff works and enjoying it. Few countries are there and it's important.

If you have not already done so, check out the Garage 54 Youtube channel. Bunch of crazy Russians in Novosibirsk doing unspeakable things to Ladas, and other cars. And having huge fun, too. They have a very well-equipped shop. Novosibirsk seems to be a thriving city, too.
