Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - August 11, 2026 [Doof]
From Shelby
Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. Content available for those who care. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?
Another day, another batch of Flock abuses
Wisconsin police pull over wrong vehicle, draw guns on woman after Flock cameras mistakenly identified her car in a homicide case. Twice.
(H/T to CBD for this one)
It happened at around 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6. Video from I-94 in Waukesha County shows multiple officers with guns drawn - and a passenger sticking their hands out the window. Police pulled the car over after a Flock camera flagged it for a Milwaukee homicide. But when Brookfield Police called the Milwaukee Police Department, MPD said they no longer needed the car or the people inside, so officers let them go. FOX6 News reached out to MPD to learn why that car was still active in the Flock system. The department said it was not a Flock issue, but a personnel issue - staff failed to remove a wanted vehicle alert from the system.
*** Another Flock mistake that prompts officers to go in with guns drawn.
If either of them had resisted in any way or showed they were upset by the false accusations being made by the cops they may have ended up dead. We've seen that happen before. Also, the cops say "your car flagged the system" as if it were their fault. It was the system that flagged the car incorrectly, not the other way around. There should be some type of monetary compensation for being stopped falsley with guns drawn.
Flock is going to get an innocent person killed soon.

----- Not real = not spectacular Female Cyclists Accused of Using Bra Paddding to Increase Bust Size and Improve Aerodynamics
The world of women’s cycling is currently embroiled in a bizarre scandal involving the alleged use of bra padding to increase the bust area of female competitors and modify airflow around the body. Known as “chest fairing,” the controversial practice can allegedly decrease drag and give competitors an unfair advantage during races. According to experts, a smaller bust can favor the formation of a kind of “air pocket” at the level of the cyclist’s abdomen, which marginally increases the drag coefficient. For example, Bert Blocken, professor of aerodynamics at Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), told the British newspaper The Telegraph that chest fairing could provide a reduction of up to 3.6% in drag. *** Originally reported last month by Dutch newspaper “WielerFlits,” the chest fairing trend caused quite a scandal on the women’s cycling circuit, and on August 4th, the cyclists taking part in this year’s Tour de France underwent an additional check of their clothing. It’s unclear if the checks uncovered the use of breast padding, but it’s clear that organizers aim to discourage the practice.
The waiting list for that job must be kinda long
----- Bad news for those of you who travel with a humanoid United & Delta Become Latest Airlines To Ban Humanoid Robots From All Flights
United Airlines and Delta Air Lines have joined a growing list of carriers prohibiting passengers from transporting humanoid robots on their aircraft, extending restrictions to both cabin baggage and checked luggage. The policies come as airlines respond to the emergence of increasingly lifelike robots that present operational, safety, and handling challenges not addressed by traditional baggage rules. The updated restrictions distinguish humanoid robots from conventional consumer electronics and small robotic devices. While toy robots and other electronic devices that meet existing battery requirements generally remain permitted, human-like robots are specifically prohibited regardless of their intended use. The move follows similar action by Southwest Airlines earlier this year after a highly publicized incident involving a humanoid robot traveling on a commercial flight.

Driving through a largely unpopulated area of a mid-southern state late one evening, I had my cruise set to 5 over the speed limit and chillin'. After a while, a state trooper pulls up behind me. He just paces me. There's hardly any other cars on this dark desert highway and I just leave my cruise at 5 over.
After a while the lights come on and I pull over.
He comes up to the car and is very nice and polite and asks me some questions. We discuss that it's a rental car and I hand him the paperwork; he checks the VIN. He goes back to his car and sits there a while, waiting on information to come back. Eventually he comes back up and informs me the license on my car is not correct, and that's why he pulled me over - it should be on a different car.
Turns out the license belongs on an identical model car of a different color. He lets me know he'll call it in so that hopefully I don't get pulled over again. Neither he nor I are happy with the rental car company. The rental company didn't seem particularly perturbed when I told them upon turning in the car.

My buddy brought his 82-year-old grandpa to his bachelor party because the old man was feeling lonely. We all thought we'd have to babysit him.
By 2am, we were at a dive bar. Grandpa won $400 playing pool with some local sharks, convinced the bartender to give us a veteran discount on the entire tab, and was teaching the groom how to properly negotiate a mortgage... all while doing vodka shots.
BTW, he was the only one who didn't have a hangover the next morning.

Are they going to compete with the country's largest truck stop on I-80? How much passenger car business does that truck stop have? Is it mostly trucks, or are they vulnerable to B poaching a great number of their customers?
Posted by: OrangeEnt at August 11, 2026 10:37 PM (1Ff7Z)
The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum is in Walcott, roughly 160 miles east of the proposed Buc-ees location.
The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum gets quite a bit of car business, they have a bunch of car gas pumps in front, the truck pumps are in the back. Inside, they have clean restrooms and lots of junk food. I think they have a Wendys inside and some other food offerings.
I always stop there when I'm eastbound, as I can fill up and then make it to Indiana and not have to buy gas in Illinois. I hate that state and don't want to give them any money or do anything there except take a piss.
They're probably far enough apart to not have a big impact either way.

Last quarter, Nvidia had $82B in revenue, and spent $20B on dividends and share buybacks.
Their stock is up 13700% over the last 10 years. Not a typo.
Why do they need a $500B loan?

Just curious…someone bullshitted you into doing the ONT. “Really! I swearsies! It’s a part-time job” they said…
Who was it specifically, that got over on you?
Don’t get me wrong, you are making the best of it, and we appreciate it all, and are better because of it.
But there must be someone you’ve taken off your Christmas card list.

I remember in college when they came out with coupons where you could get 5 beef and cheddars or 5 roast beef for 5 dollars. Then it went to 4, then 3 and now I do not think they even do deals and kids today are like 'Coupons?'

Wife and I did a crab boil for dinner last night. In Meridian. It was very tasty, but son was picking on us via text: Gotta love that Idaho seafood.
Hey, we did not die, so there.
But wife and I agree, the best crab boil is in Seattle. We shall return one day.

In Wisconsin, barring heroic last minute ballot stuffing, it looks like Francesca "Bug-eyes"' Hong is defeated. The Republican effort to make her the D candidate has not succeeded. All of the disappointed Hong voters will of course vote for the actual D candidate in the November election, and not sit it out due to disappointment and anger.

Yaaay. ChatGPT finished what I was working on. I'm going to get Ralphy, sleeping on the floor on a blanket and quilt, upstairs. Same with Snowflake, curled up on my chair beside me. Cute.
Man, if Hong loses, I kind of feel bad for ace... So much material.

My wife and I stayed with a small group out at a lodge at Little Pecan Island, South Louisiana. Now “islands’ down there are just high points in the middle of a swamp, but the wildlife was fascinating. We went out in a canoe and coasted up next to an alligator as long as the canoe was! They were all over. Anyway there were about 15 of us there, and there was a cook/caretaker, and when i asked about supper, he said “oh well just see what we catch.”
I thought that was a pretty last minute way to plan dinner for a group of people, but he invited me with him to a little pier on some open water behind the he lodge, and he stood in it and started casting a net.
Within about 30 minutes he had two 5 gallon buckets filled with crab, shrimp, and half a dozen kinds of fish. It was astounding! Made me understand why people lived in the swamps - most of it is terrible, but you never go hungry.

It is claimed it will pare the childhood vaxx schedule down to 11 essential shots, instead of the 97 today.
I expect that the blue state Governors are going to claim that Trump is unscientific and wants to kill children, and that may be why Fauci's texts on the 83% miscarriage rates on compelled Covid Vaxx were released today.
It is hard to say both that all vaxxes are good and required, and fight off claims that the compelled vaxx were essentially first trimester abortifacients at the same time.

There is a third candidate in the DEM race, a white, female state senator. She's getting 7% of the vote. I'd be curious to know whom her candidacy is helping. Her resume sounds pretty midstream. I doubt she's taking votes that otherwise would've gone for Wong.

Crowley's tiny lead has slipped a bit. There's still 65000 or so votes out.
Turning to MI, the GOP nominee Rogers (R) was in Congress for 20 years. He's a former FBI agent. He's been endorsed by Trump, but occasionally goes rogue. I like his chances against el-Hamas. Call me crazy. The MI seat was previously held by a DEM so if Rogers were to win, it would be a GOP pickup-- which would make up for the almost ceRtain DEM pickup in NC.

Severe drought here in SW Wyoming.
Oldest son works for the Forest Service here.
He has a herd of horses they take care of. They are having to pay almost $400 a ton for hay to feed the horses.
We need rain but it is too late now.

When I worked at the Navy club, we didn't accept credit cards. One guy (civvy, but "authorized" there) plopped his card down to buy a round & I had to tell him "sorry, but no..."
I had a good memory for numbers back then, and got a good look at his card. Loved to play jokes, too.
Couple days later, I told him about all the stuff I'd ordered on his account. He called BS. I rattled off his CC#. He pulled the card out of his wallet and turned very pale....

I looked it up. It isn't automatic, but the loser can request a recount if they were within 1% of the winner's total, and it will even be taxpayer-funded if they were within 0.25%. (0.25-1% margin, they're paying for it themselves, to be refunded if they win.)

Nope. Not a peep. No restriction so far this summer. (Odd!)
Anyway, when we're "restricted" the irrigation utility checks meters and cruises the area frequently. If people are watering during *disallowed* hours, or exceed certain threshold:
1st offense: warning
2nd offense: water shut-off. (irrigation, not "domestic")
Tampering with valve: Fine and prosecution.

I water just enough to keep the weeds alive. Most of the grass is "hanging in there" but the yard looks like hell, overall.
Meh. As long as it doesn't turn into a dust-bowl, I'm happy.

They are not only wasting water it will cause the turf to go into root shock and probably kill it. Stupid fuckers.

We had our yard aerated, seeded and fertilized and then, boom, water restrictions.
We can't control the weather.
Thank goodness we have not had a nearby wildfire so far.
Is Spokane still burning? What an awful time for the people there.

Once it's HOT, I can relax and just mow the weeds and little patches of fescue (?) every-other week or so...
There's chicory, wild lettuce, cheese weed, dandelion and burr-clover to keep it looking *green* from a distance.

Plus, an added benefit of dormancy is you don’t have to mow when it’s 103°. Can’t turn turfgrass “on” and “off” like that, it will go into dormancy just fine, and come out of it just fine, but strangely enough half-assed watering, e.g. some fuckhead standing with a hose in his yard giving it a little sip will likely kill it altogether.
This is how weeds take over a lawn. Classic.

Our lawn is dead this year except for some weird shit that is growing. We have Aspen trees and have been told that the stuff growing is from the aspens. Who knows.

I gave up on the lawn BS when hubby was sick. Too many other things to do! It languished for years.
Sad, but maybe I can rejuvenate next year... or not... unless I can get a sprinkler system installed.

Nursing home is taking care of hubby now. I'm just... existing.
Lawn? Housekeeping? Vehicles? Meh. DGF about it all. I do the bare minimum and still feel overwhelmed.
Some day I'll *pull my head out* but for now I just can't even with everything.

Flock ought to be dismantled and sent to the closest landfill. It's been abused by law enforcement and it seems to be on the edge of extinction. Perhaps a couple of multi-million dollar judgments would push it over the edge...

Bang on your legislators. My TX HR rep is worthless. My TX Sen is fortunately a solid conservative. I’ve been hitting on his office frequently on this. I expect to see a law proposed for the 2027 Legislature that ends Flock in TX. And all ALPRs besides.
Sounds impossible? Well, they ended red light cameras. (You hear that, Balcones Heights?)

ESA - Total Solar Eclipse - Europe - August 2026

On 11 August 1999 a total solar eclipse went through Europe. I missed it thanks to a cloudburst at my location.
6585.3 days later on 21 August 2017 I saw the exact same eclipse as it went through WY at 1145 MDT. Not a cloud in the sky. Amazing.

I agree. But it is safer to assume they just another power hungry asshole until proven different.
How many of them will fight and die for these ALPRs? That’s all you need to know.
(What pisses me off the absolute most is that given the nature of their job - more or less babysitting the 1% of assholes that make their jobs necessary - I’d love to shower them in praise. But…

Our town is so small we don't have stoplights.
Of course we have assholes blowing through stop signs and the 4 way stops.

I think most police officers are good but they are hamstrung with by the crazy laws we have now.

We live in a small town and we wish we had bought acreage. We have a couple of asshole neighbors.
The asshole next door enjoys telling us what he thinks we should do in our yard.

Small towns are not all that great. Ask me how I know.

One night here my husband was out of town.
In the middle of the night some asshole was banging onthe door yelling let me in. He ran from the front door to the back door trying to get in the house.
I called 911 and they were here in no time. They caught the guy in the driveway and had their guns pulled and screaming at the guy to get on the ground, get on the ground.
He was drunk and was at the wrong house.
I was so thankful they responded so quick.
There are many good police out there.
Posted by: four seasons at August 12, 2026 03:47 AM (/QHx4)
Probably not.
You don't have to think cops are evil (at least not more evil than the average man with man's fallen nature) to recognize what a threat they can be.
I try to arrange my life to have as few interactions as possible with people who can shoot me for disobedience.

I don't think it's emotional; I think it's the {click}{whrrrr} of a triggered response. With their full-time job being to deal with the antagonistic, it becomes first habit and then character to treat everyone like an antagonist.
Action, once chosen, when
Repeated, swiftly becomes automatic
Habit; which over time settles into
Character, such that when added to
Circumstance, becomes no less than
Destiny.
If you're lucky, they're just at the Habit level, where conscious attention is enough to override it. If it's a matter of Character, then they've become antagonists themselves. Big-city cops, such as Chicago and Los Angeles, have a reputation for just being the biggest and best-organized gang; "Badge Gang Goombas," one blogger called them.
