Saturday Overnight Open Thread (4/13/19)
DVD and Blu-ray sales are dropping.
In its annual Theatrical Home Entertainment Market Environment report, the Motion Picture Association of America described an immensely sharp drop-off of physical media sales over the past five years. According to the data, which was obtained from DEG and IHS Markit, global sales of video disc formats (which in this context means DVD, Blu-ray, and UltraHD Blu-ray) were $25.2 billion in 2014 but only $13.1 in 2018. That's a drop in the ballpark of 50 percent. Don't expect 8K Blu-rays or other emerging quality-focused formats to turn the tide, either. Market data published by Forbes showed that the aging, low-definition DVD format still accounts for 57.9 percent of physical media sales, and 4K Blu-rays are only 5.3 percent

The Swiss government is completely wrong. Coffee is
The Swiss government wants to put an end to its emergency stockpile of coffee after declaring that it is "not essential" for human survival. Switzerland began storing emergency reserves of coffee between World War One and World War Two in preparation for potential shortages. It continued in subsequent decades to combat shortages sparked by war, natural disasters or epidemics. It now hopes to end the practice by late 2022. But opposition is mounting.

If your aim is merely to make something sharp enough that it can cut, you can make a knife out of a whole lot of things. Virtually any sort of metal, to begin with, so long as you have the heat to make it malleable, tools to beat it into shape, and a stone to sharpen the edge. If you want to go further, you can dabble with beer and bacon, or old batteries. But as Youtuber kiwami japan demonstrates, you can get much, much more extreme with a little bit of basic chemistry knowledge. Say, for instance, you need a knife that can float. Why not just go to town on some styrofoam?

Is this a moron move or what? Busted!
Our society is addicted to social media. Pathetic and oh so sad. Missing account is the same as murder.
A 21-year-old influencer is going viral not for her influence, but for comparing Instagram deleting her account to a “homicide.” In a video explaining her feelings last week, Jessy Taylor sobbed, calling it a “beg for help” to retrieve her deleted account, where she had more than 100K followers and reportedly posted bikini selfies.
The implied message is that terrorism isn’t a big deal. But actually, it’s because moose are crazy dangerous to Canadians.
Between 2000 and 2014, 236 Canadians were killed after their car smacked into a moose. Add in collisions with deer, elk, bears, cougars, bison and coyotes, and in the last nineteen years, we’ve lost about as many Canadians to wildlife crashes as died in the Korean War. If you don’t want to be the next driver killed by a wayward ungulate, follow the tips in the video above to avoid wildlife collisions and, if that fails, how to properly smash your car into majestic Canadian fauna.
Three naked Florida women told a trooper they were “air drying” at a rest area after showering on Wednesday, but they didn’t stick around to explain much more, troopers said. As the trooper gathered details at the Interstate 75 northbound rest stop in Pasco County, the women ran to a Nissan Sentra and drove off on the highway around 11 a.m., according to a news release from Florida Highway Patrol. The trooper chased after them but gave up because the pursuit didn’t meet Highway Patrol guidelines, the news release said.

Watching 'what we do in the shadows' movie. The tv show based on the movie (with different characters) was just released this past month on FX. The tv show is better than the movie...three episodes so far. Interestingly, the comedic writers have not stooped to insulting half of the viewing population...it is a pleasure for this alone.

The difference between freshly roasted vs canned roasted like Folgers is veey much like oven fresh homemade bread vs Wonderbread.
Do this:
Buy some green beans, and learn to roast them.
Go to sweetmarias.com for starters.
In Ethiopia, they just use a flat pan to roast over an open fire. I tried that in an electric frying pan in the kitchen. Don't do that unless you want to test the fire alarms...

Everyone had a funny improvised response for the video. I did one too, I played an overly talkative guest. "Mmm, tastes like that sacred cow's milk I had during my trip to Bombay last year. Kind of fruity, kind of mellow..."

They're famous for being famous. That whole idea started out as a big joke back in the '80's, IIRC. Now it's an thing.

Haven't found anything better than a Guinness. My maternal great-grandmother was from Ireland, so there's that. Plus, it agrees with me, which is very important for a 29-year-old.

I couldn't tell the difference between any of the big chain coffee shop house blends. I'll go to those for a cappuccino or a mocha. I get coffee at gas stations.
I have a very high tolerance for bad coffee. The only things I can't tolerate are weak coffee or percolator coffee.

his secretary escorted me into the board room and asked me if I would like coffee or water? I answered that I would appreciate a cup of coffee. Right after she left to get the coffee I remembered that I had to get my cholesterol checked that afternoon. I could have had coffee but why mess with it.
she brought the coffee back. I said thank you.
two minutes later the chairman walks in and we start talking. ten minutes into the conversation he says "so, our coffee is not good enough for you?"

It manages to be both burned and weak at the same time. It sits there and brews, then pumps the brewed coffee back over the grounds, extracting no flavor but all the crap that shouldn't be extracted. Acids or oils or whatever. It just tastes awful to me. It's the taste of coffee served to a big group just so you can check off the "coffee was available" box.

My 100 year old house needed a kitchen remodel. The cabinetry being solid wood and having no sag to any shelf, did not need replacing but they did need new drawers and doors and refacing. Also a new counter, backsplash and sink.
When the guys came to do it, they were here one day to tear out and start the install and one day to finish it. I sat in the dining room and did what ever the female equivalent of "Fap, Fap, Fap." is. And not because the guys were cute - hell I don't even remember what they looked like. But my kitchen is smokin' hot. Even after 3 years, every time I open the new drawers that I don't need to fight with I get a little tingle of happiness.

With Folgers or Maxwell House grounds, it made a very nice cuppa.
With the U.S. Navy standard commissary issued USN Coffee?
OUTSTANDING!
Most folks don't know it, but the U.S. Navy has it's own roasting houses, imports it's own specially selected beans, and does 'em to perfection.
That electric Corning perc had a sensor in it which stopped the percolation at the perfect state of "done-ness". It was hot nectar in a USN issue heavy ceramic mug.
Y'all who complain about a percolator, have had the coffee equivalent of a well-done steak.
Stop following the chem-jerk recipe for percolated covfefe!

Backwards Boy has exquisite tastes in beer. Sadly, the bartender at the inside bar did NOT know how to pour a Guinness, and ruined the thing!
And fwiw.... the band that Backwards Boy was playing bass with.... so very good, well-rehearsed, very tight arrangements.
Their lead vocalist could front any band, any time, any where. Dude has an A grade voice and A grade talent.
And Backwards chops on the base, are beyond sublime. The dude will sneak up on you with just how good he really is.
Burger at the place was good, too. No more expensive than the average appetizer, but so much more appealing.
And yeah. I've got a few tons of ancient paperwork that's gotta meet the dumpster bin in the coming week.

Wow, thanks Jim. I'm glad you liked us.
He's the guitar-playing buddy of mine that I've been slowly trying to turn into a conservative. I may have succeeded. I've been playing with him in bands since he was in HS and he's 40 now. Great kid, a fucking monster guitar player whom I'd put up against anybody, and I mean anybody. Comes from good stock, I've known his Mom and Dad and big sister for several decades.
We have a lot of fun onstage together and I hope that comes across to the audience. Oh, he's also the guitar player for the big show band that comes on after we get through playing.

An OT quote:
...She [Joni Mitchell] has said that the parents of the boomers were unhappy, and "out of it came this liberated, spoiled, selfish generation into the costume ball of free love, free sex, free music, free, free, free, free we're so free. And Woodstock was the culmination of it." But "I was not a part of that," she explained in an interview. "I was not a part of the anti-war movement, either. I played in Fort Bragg. I went the Bob Hope route because I had uncles who died in the war, and I thought it was a shame to blame the boys who were drafted."

Works best if you have a riding mower. I have a Dixon ZTR (even used it for ten minutes today), and it steers by two levers, so it takes both hands to keep it going in a straight line. Kind of hampers the beer drinking, but I persevere.

But picked up a referral to an Estate Sale operator... did the interview and tour.
These folks are off the top of the OCD chart in how they organize a house and it's belongings and manage the sale.
Sure, they take 1/3. Standard rate in that industry. But they catalog and sell everything, not just select items.
And that 1,000+ LP collection? They research every sleeve, and mark it at current value, not just the usual "$1.00 ea." which is the norm at Estate Sales.
Same with every item. Researched to get the right price.
Their track record, BBB and references are simply outstanding.
All of this means I'm only going to have to plow through ancient paper in the disposal process. Otherwise, they want EVERY thing left in place, to put in the sale.
And they'll handle it all, bring in the shelving (sans Ace), extra tables, staff and security.
Compared to sentencing myself to hard labor, (as bluebell recommends), I can put this thing on cruise control, and let it roll.
Which is exactly what I plan to do.
Insomniac, call me tomorrow all the same. Still got tons of paper to move.

Means that the next steps with a sale are that much easier.
And one of the neighbors here (a very high end commercial roofing contractor) is anxious to haggle a price. If I can get damn close to my intended price, I'll do it.
'Cause with no seller's or buyer's brokers, just meeting to sign papers at the title company, my situation just improved by nearly $20k, by not paying realtor's commissions.

Any of you know how rare a Norwegian Krag Carbine is in it's original 6.5x55 chambering?

And I just bought one today at about 1/5 of it's collector's value. Local gun store did NOT realize what they had on the shelf.

The Oregon legislature, in an extremely rare act of reasonableness, just refused to lower the maximum permitted blood alcohol level from .08 to .05.
Under Oregon law, you already can be arrested for being impaired, no matter what your blood alcohol level (after all, a lot of things can impair you other than alcohol), but the virtue signalers thought that they could show how virtuous they were, by formally criminalizing low levels of alcohol consumption.

The Dixon ZTR, at least the old model I have, uses a quite bizarre friction cone drive that basically comprises two continuously-variable transmissions, one for each rear drive wheel, that basically work by warping the frame of the unit. They operate independently of one another, and one wheel can be turning forward, while the other spins in reverse. The damned thing can turn on its own axis fast enough to make me dizzy.

The ZTR does very poorly on sidehills, as in when I mow my ditches. The front wheels are casters, so they always want to roll down the slope, so I wind up having to dial in full forward on the downslope rear wheel, and neutral or even slow reverse on the upslope one. Sometimes, I just leave a strip, and do it in two passes with a walk-behind mower.
Maybe I ought to add a foot-pedal operated caster lock.

I can't remember the exact year I saw Montrose either. It was at the Guntersville AL town hall that held maybe 3K. I played there either the week before or the week after with a little local band at some benefit. How and why they allowed us to assault their eardrums in such a fashion remains a mystery.

New York, too, I think. Only a total asshole would even try to make such a law.

I hate these fvckers ... and I say "hate" only to begin to try express the disgust and disdain I have for them.

I have damn all for closets, too. Back then, a woman had four dresses: one for every day winter, one for church on Sunday, one for every day summer, and one for church on Sunday. The husband's pants and shirts were kept in the dresser drawers.
If I outlive the livestock, we are selling this white elephant and moving to a one floor apartment. I dream of the day when I have not only a ball closet, but even the hallway to go with it.
As I wrote that, I suddenly realized that this house is built like a New Orleans "shotgun house". The front door opens straight into the front room, followed immediately by the dining room, followed by the kitchen. The big bedroom is directly off the dining room, and both the second bedroom and the bathroom are directly off the kitchen. No hallway any where.I think the bathroom was carved out of the second bedroom when indoor plumbing was introduced. I'm sure there was an out house originally because of all the brickwork I discovered when I tried to plant a bush in the back yard. There had to have been a brick walkway from the back door to the out house.

The casters have a stems of about 5/8" diameter that go through vertical bushings on the frame. Washers top and bottom, the bottom one being welded to the stem to take the thrust load (weight).
Weld a thin steel serpentine belt pulley to each washer; pulleys source from accessory drive off car in wrecking yard. Wrap a belt around them, anchor middle of one run of the belt, and rig a pedal to pull the ohter side tight as required. Presto: external-contracting band brakes to lock front casters in whatever position they are at the time the pedal is depressed.

HBO and other cable channels don't really have that problem because (a) they're still fairly new with regard to providing original programming, (b) it's well established already that their programming is "anything goes," outside of straight pron; and people are actually paying to see their programs, which IMHO puts a bit more pressure on both the networks and the producers/writers to provide something that's quality.
There hasn't been a new network show in years that I've taken any interest in. I think the only exception is "Mom," and even that is very hit-or-miss. I would love to see one of the networks try something new; they've been promising the world and delivering next to nothing for years and years now; but I just don't see it happening. They're very comfortable in their rut.

When an old story is done over and over again by REALLY talented people, it can work. But House's people, while very talented, IMHO didn't have the moxie to pull it off was long as they tried.
If House had quit as soon as it got to its 100 episodes for syndication, I think it would be far better and more fondly remembered.

Also, I could be very wrong but M*A*S*H I think attracted new viewers year after year as it kept going, while other viewers faded away. I discovered it when I was 12 years old, when it had already been on the air for 6 years, and only took an interest in older episodes after its run ended in 1983.
(BTW, I think I also remember that by the time its final episode aired, M*A*S*H was constantly being pre-empted by other shows CBS wanted to promote, so it wasn't as if people could see it confidently so much.)

--Not sure if I take that point, so to speak.
Ralph Matthew McInerny (February 24, 1929 - January 29, 2010)[1] was an American author and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. McInerny's most popular mystery book series featured Father Dowling.[2] This character was the basis for the Father Dowling Mysteries television show, which ran from 1987 to 1991.
Father Brown is a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective who is featured in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936 written by English novelist G. K. Chesterton.[1] Father Brown solves mysteries and crimes using his intuition and keen understanding of human nature. Chesterton loosely based him on the Rt Rev. Msgr. John O'Connor (1870-1952), a parish priest in Bradford, who was involved in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism in 1922.

Hitchcock would famously poke fun at that. On his TV show, he would oft have the perfect crime setup (usually someone killing his/her spouse). It would end, then Hitch would come out and explain how the police caught them
Hollywood imposed the Code on itself to avoid government imposition. Some of the pre-Code movies were getting as racy as anything today, and that caused scandal.
Believe or not, the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment did not apply to motion pictures! After that ruling, Hollywood came up with the Code itself.
A later Court ruling overturned that of course.

$40 more in income and I would have been writing a check.
But I don't have to do that, and neither did the government get to keep a big pile of my money interest-free for the year, so it's all good.
Expert tax planning? Blind luck, more like. But I'll take it.

If you have a gas stove and lose power, you will love percolator coffee. Especially when you take a fresh-brewed cup outside and you see your neighbors grabbing their guns because they electric stoves.

But our parents define us as the off-spring , we carry the burden (or joy) of those familial traits.

Indeed,
We are seeing today a world that at times does not match up to what we, in our youth, envisioned.
I accept that.
I also remain hopeful that we can live in a world where humans still have the capabilities to improve the potentials for our future.

Antigone used the metaphor of the tree that survived by giving a little way to the stiff breeze, rather than completely resisting it.
That is not to say that it should apply to politics or mores, but sometimes in life time it means time and tide has to be let go.

Definitely the drawback of tending bar is the 4 am getting home thing.
Hope you folks have had a good evening. I saw a red fox on my driveway which is always cool. Haven't seen one in about 6 months. I wonder if coyotes scrap with them and compete for food.

Oh, I definitely saw things.
They drug me out on the dance floor to dance with them during the Apache Song by Sugar Hill Gang. I was surrounded by a dozen drunk 20-somethings in short sundresses.
Good times for a 29 year old, for sure. I do certainly enjoy the female form, especially when it occasionally spills out of its trapping.
