Tonight's ONT Is Running On Empty
Well kids, it's that time of the week again! Lets see what's in the ONT's Big File O' Cool Stuff:
Update!
Here's an update to a story Ace posted Tuesday:
Amazing Story
This is just an amazing story. It's the story of Bela Paskin, a Hungarian Jew during WWII. He was imprisoned by the Germans and put in a labor battalion. Later on he was captured by the Russians and spent the war burying dead soldiers. Returning to his home after the war, he found that his entire family had been swept into Auschwitz by the Nazis. Heartbroken, he wandered across war-torn Europe until he reached Paris, and eventually he immigrated to the US to start a new life, utterly alone without any kin left. Or was he? ETA: Since some of y'all are having problems reading FB, here is the story in 3 screencaps.

Clever Dads 45 Dads Who Somehow Managed to Make 2020 a Much Better Year
Venmo is a cool mobile money app, but when your dad first learns about it, something hilarious might happen. Like this post, for instance — when a guy's dad decides to send him a Venmo request for tee-ball registration fees... from almost 20 years ago. Dads never forget, do they?
Getting Shafted Here, two drunk guys in China are trying to stagger back from a night of prodigious drinking. Stumbling across the lobby, one of them, half carrying his friend, reaches out to press the elevator button. What happens next will astound you!
Musical Interlude, Featuring Jackson Browne I don't think Jackson Browne gets enough credit for making great music. As someone who entered his teens with the 80s, Fast Times at Ridgemont High has always been my seminal coming-of-age movie. Because of their placement in the movie, Somebody's Baby by Browne (and Moving in Stereo from The Cars) are instant aural connections to memories of my first, awkward sexual experiences. (And yes, you can have that as a pun back there if you want it) When either of them comes on the radio, the years melt away. However, as I got older, this is the Jackson Browne song that sometimes resonates:

No charge for 91-year-old's boiler 'under any circumstances'
James is originally from Liverpool, where he was a bin man before he became a plumber in 1998. He has been running Depher - Disabled & Elderly Plumbing and Heating Emergency Repair - as a not-for-profit plumbing company since March 2017. "There are too many elderly and disabled people suffering in silence," he explains. "They don't like asking for help. They don't want to be a burden.Big thumbs up from this side of the pond, mate. He Adapted, He Overcame
"We take away the burden, the stigma."

I understand why our ancestors thought about there being a God or that fate takes a hand in our lives.
Some of the things that happened to me and what preceded them are truly odds defying circumstances. Things that if you read it in a book you'd laugh at how childish and unreal such a thing could happen.

I used to have a lifelong aversion to winter level cold. To the point where I would have to bundle up just to get the mail.
So a ways back I spent one cold winter with my bedroom windows open most of the time. Since then I'm one of those idiots that can walk around frigid temps in short sleeves and shorts, at least for a little while.

All that said, I think "For a Dancer" is his best song, and "For Everyman" is his best album.

This is why training and experience is so important. The brain only needs to think what needs to be done and the body does it. Without the training the brain has to quickly determine what steps need to take place when and how. And this can cause one to freeze up till that is resolved one way or another.

I tend to be suspicious, just because I saw the story on Real Raw News. Which I know nothing about, but it also had an article claiming that Pence was going to seek asylum in Qatar. So...I'm a bit skeptical, at least until I see it verified elsewhere.
Then again, if Biden and the other idiots really are talking about sealing off Florida, I could see that being DeSantis' reaction.

Mine is a Craftsman Style house, but built in 2008, not 1908. When I had to replace the front porch railings and stairs, the amount of fiddle work I had to mill out was exhausting. But, I did it, and it's (much) better now than when it was new.

Ha!
The SMR is different. Opposite of this, in fact.
"Moods/Rages/Black Depressions" are the norm. When things are bad, we drink to amplify the rages to maximum power. When things are good, we drink even more, to amplify the contentedness to maximum relaxation, and to black out these unfortunate periods of weakness. That keeps the edge sharp for the next rage-cycle.
We made all kinds of music to keep up with this cadence, but none of it is featured in '80s movies.

Yeah. I was welding patch panels into the front floor of the '60 Lark, and sparks from the welder flew up and ignited some of the cotton stuffing in the front seat. Didn't notice for a while, because of welding helmet. But eventually I smelled a new kind of smoke. I ran and got a spray bottle of glass cleaner, and peered under the seat, and sprayed on some little flames, and glowing embers. Knocked it back a bit, which gave me time to run and fetch the garden hose, hook it up, and turn it on. I gave the underside of the seat a good hosing, but I knew the fire was not yet out. But it was knocked back enough that I had time to remove the seat from the car...

The entire alleged 13.4 billion years of the Universe's history pretty much had to happen EXACTLY as it did for you to be born. Even a star blowing up 7 light years away 2 billion years ago, as one of many trillions of examples.
One neutrino goes 1 degree off the direction it did billions of years ago, and it isn't you that's born, but someone completely different.

I had already recovered the seats, using Mexican blankets, over a month ago. It was the original factory cotton and burlap on the spring side that caught fire. And mostly the excess cotton that overhung the springs and wasn't actually doing any padding. As far as I can see, no fire damage to the new cover. It will take a long time to dry out, though. Rear seat was not touched by fire, but did get a little wet. If the front seat proves to be destroyed, I will go to Pick and Pull, and get some Brand X seat that seems to be close in size. Toyota pickup, maybe. The car itself is OK.

Most of the artists on it were *not* who the kids (like me) were listening to in 1982. We were, as far as I could tell at least, all into new wave, and the soundtrack was full of country-rock and classic rock artists. Jackson Browne himself was considered rather old hat, I believe.

Late getting here. It's snowing on the beach. Went for a walk after dinner and met a sweet HAPPY husky dog. Got to say hi and give some ear rubs and butt scratches. Such a happy doggie.
Walked for about a half hour. The sand has an entirely different feel when it's covered in snow. It was just beautiful.
Have a lovely evening, sweet friends in grey boxes.

We have a strict no junk rule. Or I thought we did until we started moving. If we had just thrown out the stuff we threw out when moving we probably could have stayed where we were at. All this empty space in the new house does seem like a vaccum.

I work with a lot of people from India. A good many retire in their late 30s to mid 40s and go back to india. They think they're old enough to avoid their parents setting them up to get hitched but still half the age i'll be able to retire at.

So for the last 3 days, all the local news around Seattle has been "WINTER STORM!! SNOWMAGEDDON!"
And the temperature dropped earlier today, and the clouds were a dark, foreboding gray.
Went to the store to get a few things (can't cook without cooking oil, propane tank refilled), in preparation.
It got dark and the drapes were closed, also it helps with insulation.
Then I read a post from nurse, walking on the beach in the snow. Cool! The first snow in 2 years is here!
And then I look out the window, and not a flake. 20 miles south of nurse, only a few blocks from Puget Sound, and.......nothing.
This is the story of Puget Sound snow warnings. Often, just a tease.

What a lot of people mean by "non-conformity" is "people I agree with aren't in charge". The moment that detail is resolved, the cries for non-conformity are reversed.

Several years ago I went to see him in SD and was excited to hear him. It was lackluster. He sang and looked like he's clinically depressed. And on top of it, he stopped after a song and said oh wait. And started to blow his nose while facing the audience. Yep. Just blew his nose and then went on.
Totally unprofessional and bland despite his great lyrics.
We left at intermission. And then my husband told me I owed him for doing that to him.

Jim, that's actually a really good question.
You limit it to Senator, so some good US Reps or Gubnors get passed over.
I will say that my opinion is clouded by how they have treaded President Trump before and after the election, and in the last few weeks. I really think this is the most important factor today, not any specific issue. Because being pro-Trump means a lot of things, which I lump into "a traditional and Constitutional America".
Cruz is your Texas guy, and watching him from afar, I get frustrated with him. He is all over the board. Since he is yours, I would defer my final judgement. He is inconsistent, talking Constitutional details and precedent, and then dunking on DJT, but at least he acts like an American, unlike most Dem Senators these days.
Josh Hawley has impressed the hell out of me, and continues to do so. He would be quite welcome at the TxMoMe, no doubt. And John Kennedy from LA is great. But you asked about the other end of the spectrum, the Blue end. Where there is lots of purple.
Probably the two who should "be better" are James Lankford of Oklahoma, and of course Sassy.

I've heard Bob Dylan is the same way. He doesn't make any small talk with the audience, and as of recently doesn't even try to sing very well. He just belts through the performance and wanders off.
Then there's Van Morrison, who supposedly is still good at performing, but doesn't interact with the audience (he supposedly suffers from stage fright) and will only play for *exactly* 60 minutes. I've read Van will even stop and quit for the night right in the middle of a song.

We should be organizing all kinds of lefty groups, setting up protests, starting campaigns, and hounding these big companies on social media until they comply. For example let's make *EVERY* NFL team change its name for the sake of wokeness. Why should it only be the one?
To me this strategy is win/win/win.
1. Corporations have to keep paying out to satisfy the unsatisfiable, at higher and higher rates
2. Regular low-fo people might start REALLY getting sick of watching the Left's PC rules degrade everything they know and love before their eyes.
3. We get to have fun watching all the assholes scramble and cough up profits on rebranding etc, on OUR terms.

Mahomes threw a pass 25 yards side-arm while falling down and perpendicular to the ground without any part of his body even touching the ground, that hit his receiver in the mask in the end zone during the SB.
There were 3 different TDs he should have had just on circus throws like that but his receivers dropped them all. I guess they were so shocked that the ball actually got to them they couldn't catch it. He is an otherworldly talent.

He has the physical gifts to have create a Dynasty, but it remains to be seen if he has the leadership qualities necessary to be the new Brady.

I'm an Air Force Brat so I didn't finally settle down and "pick my teams" until we landed up at Hanscom AFB outside of Bedford Mass in 1975. So I chose the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins and have been a rabid fan ever since.
There's something about Brady's drive and intelligence that amazes me. He now has 7 Superb Owl Rings. That's one more ring than the number of quarterbacks that were taken in the 2000 NFL Draft before he was picked at number 199. He is the ultimate team player and leader who can just walk into a shitty team's locker room and say: "We're going to the Superb Owl this year."
And everyone in the room will believe him. That's exactly what happened in Tampa Bay last March.

No time constrains re: work so sometime am up this late. Definitely a unique time on AOS when a few are around and I love them all.
To start the winter temps...here it is 7 w/ wind chill of -7. But luckily the weather idiots missed it and we got no "dusting to 1 inch" tonight. Yesterday the damn prediction was the same and we got ca. 5 inches. Light and fluffy tho, easy to move.

This is ... common sense! How long will it last?
The article states: evaluating a new version of its gender-neutral Army Combat Fitness Test, one that would likely create "gender-specific" evaluation categories for men and women when it comes time for promotion.
The move would back away from the Army's original plan to have the new six-event test be gender-neutral in all aspects. It's in recognition of data showing that physiological differences between men and women cause individual scores to differ by 100 points on average by gender, according to an Army official familiar with the effort.
