Saturday Overnight Open Thread (11/13/21)

Bill and Doug went to the fair. They came across a small crowd gathered around a stall and went over to take a look. "What's going on?" Bill asked one of the crowd. "We're watching to see if some idiot can ride that bronco machine," he said nodding towards a fearsome looking machine. "Nobody has managed to stay on for the full three minutes yet. And, there's a prize of $1000 for anybody who can." "I can do that," Bill said confidently. "You can't," said Doug. "You'll get yourself killed if you try and ride that thing." "Watch this," said Bill, as he climbed aboard the bronco machine. The machine thrashed wildly, up and down, from side to side, around in circles but still a grim faced Bill clung to its back. After two minutes the machine was bucking almost vertically and spinning until Bill was a blur. But when the three minutes were up, Bill was still on the machine's back acknowledging the cheers and cries from the small crowd. He dismounted, collected his winnings and rejoined Doug. "Where did you learn to ride a bucking bronco like that?" Doug asked. "Remember three months ago," Bill said, "when my wife had whooping cough...?" (H/T ALH)
Congress mandates safety features. But does the technology exist?
Congress is making its biggest push ever to stop drunk driving with President Biden's huge infrastructure bill. As we previously reported, one of the provisions included a mandate for anti-drunk driving technology in new cars. Now, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has passed Congress with the measure intact, Autoblog (AP) reports, and it's expected to be signed by the President soon. As part of the legislation, carmakers will have to include technology to detect and stop drunk drivers by as early as 2026. First, though, the Department of Transportation will have to determine the best solution to curtail intoxicated drunk driving. Specifically, the bill requires something that will “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.” That sounds similar to infrared camera solutions already used today by GM, Nissan and others, Sam Abuelsamid, principal mobility analyst for Guidehouse Insights, tells the AP. It goes without saying that we'd need something more advanced than breathalyzers, which are already used as a punishment for convicted drunken drivers.
Speaking of auto safety measures. Holy

Last year, like many Americans, Matt Fahrenbruch found himself suddenly doing his job from home. He lived in Topeka, Kan., where he audited programs for the state Legislature. As remote work continued during the pandemic, and his team’s productivity didn’t suffer, he began to realize that if he could work from home, then home could be anywhere he wanted. He and his wife had often thought about relocating to the Upper Midwest. Fahrenbruch, 39, had studied at the University of North Dakota, and they loved the region.

GO FIGURE I’m fat and gorgeous so I post sexy photos in my underwear – people constantly troll me but they’re just fatphobes ONE woman is hitting back at the haters saying that she is happy in her own skin even though constantly ridiculed for her weight. 21-year-old Jilly from Pennsylvania, says that others don't understand how she can post photos in underwear and feel sexy, but she says that's just fatphobia.

Hard to believe we are approaching Thanksgiving already. Study up, here are some Do's and Don'ts.
You’ve been invited to a Thanksgiving gathering. Hooray! You don’t have to plan, prep, shop, chop and cook for days. While the host will be doing the lion’s share of work to make the day tasty and festive, each guest also bears a portion of responsibility for it unfolds. You don’t need to baste a bird every 30 minutes, but you do need to bring thoughtfulness to the occasion. It goes without saying you should avoid talking politics, religion, or your thoughts on the COVID vaccine. In the spirit of helpfulness and harmonious interaction, here are some less obvious things not to when invited to someone’s home on Thanksgiving (and what you can do instead).

Leon Russell died in Nashville, he was 74. He led Joe Cocker’s band Mad Dogs & Englishmen, and appeared at George Harrison’s 1971 Concert for Bangladesh. Many of his songs became hits for others, among them 'Superstar' (written with Bonnie Bramlett) for the Carpenters, 'Delta Lady' for Joe Cocker and 'This Masquerade' for George Benson. More than 100 acts have recorded 'A Song for You,' which Russell said he wrote in 10 minutes.

Genius Award Winner.
A Massachusetts family whose loved one’s casket fell open as it was being lowered into a grave, causing the body to fall out, has sued the funeral home and the cemetery. The family of Andrew Serrano, a resident of Lawrence who died in March 2019, allege negligence and reckless infliction of emotional distress in the suit filed last Wednesday in Essex Superior Court, The Eagle-Tribune reported. During the funeral handled by the Perez Funeral Home at city-owned Bellevue Cemetery in Lawrence on April 5, 2019, “one of the side straps on the city-owned casket lowering device broke, causing Mr. Serrano’s casket to fall into the grave and break apart,” according to the suit. The “corpse fell out of the casket” in full view of “horrified family members who became visibly distraught and hysterical,” the suit said.

Well if it doesn't, they'll just fine automakers for each vehicle. "But they'll just pass the costs onto the consumers," you say. Aha! They'll pass another law, against automakers passing costs onto consumers.

Infuriating, unfortunately.
https://outline.com/nDN3j5
This is a link to an article in Politico regarding the Project Veritas raid. Actually sympathetic to O'Keefe, which is the good news. The bad news is that I find it impossible to believe that Josh Gerstein can actually write an article about the PV raid and not mention that someone (at the FBI) leaked some of the contents of the phone to the NYT, which is being sued by PV. He actually mentions the NYT once, but not in reference to this huge conflict of interest. He mentions another lawsuit that PV has with a Democratic entity that I've never heard about, so he really has no excuse. Like I said, infuriating.
Now, off to read The Verge's article about those gadgets. These tech sites are ridiculously liberal in their worldview, so I'm not expecting much.

When my dad was dropping me off for the beginning of freshman year, he said: "[Nearsider], I can't stop you from being stupid anymore. Let me leave you with three pieces of advice. 1 - Pick a drink and stick with it. If you're drinking shitty beer, drink shitty beer all night. If you're drinking expensive scotch, drink expensive scotch all night. Don't mix. 2 - Don't drink anything you didn't make or see made. 3 - No matter what, never, ever, under any conditions, drink Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill."

There exists an organization called the Oregon Global Warming Commission (State-funded, of course).
In bad snow years, they put up a prominent announcement on their webpage saying that Mount Hood will be without snow in a few years. In good snow years, they quietly remove the announcement from the web page.
The stubborn refusal of Mount Hood to have reduced snowfalls due to gerbil warbeling has caused a lot of angst.
Some scientists (at Oregon State, I think) wrote a paper explaining that gerbil warbeling really was reducing snowfalls on Hood, but that this was being temporarily offset by a long-term snow cycle that is currently positive. When the snow cycle turns negative, then the hoped-for elimination of snow from Hood will rapidly occur.
I gave them points for creative thinking.

The best thing I can say about my siblings is that when we get together, we almost never talk about politics. My sisters and I are very conservative Trump supporters, and my brothers and nephews are either RINO's or liberals. There's no point in arguing politics, because we're of German ethnicity and neither side is going to budge. We never get into arguments on holidays.

The waxing gibbous moon

Through the silence of a chilly night,
in the west, the thunder of a jet.
A moonlit contrail crosses the sky.

Had a whitetail doe run into the side of my SUV, which was not moving at the time but stopped in the road to let the deer herd pass. Neither the doe nor the SUV were hurt in the encounter, and the doe ran off seemingly without injury.

But let's just look at it from a practical standpoint. There is no way in ten million years that state and local governments would ever - ever - acquiesce to any measure that curtailed their income from DUIs. Not going to happen. It's a yuuuge, luxurious cash cow for them.
Unless, of course, auto companies were forced to give police realtime reporting, and that reporting could be used as a predicate for arrest or subpoena. Which, of course, would be part of the broad interpretation of the vague language in the bill.

I was selling beer at a football game today (we sold $45 k worth of beer in 3 hours, if that gives any indication of how busy it was). The company I work for allows only two beers per guest. So a husband and his wife were at the counter, and they both show me their IDs. The each request two beers, so I give them four beers in keeping with policy. The wife has two baskets of food in her hands, so the husband picks up the four beers, and they proceed away from the counter.
A "Alcohol Compliance Officer" from the company I work for spots this and goes berserk. He starts going off on me for selling four beers to one guy, I try to explain the situation, that the wife is there. Doesn't matter. He says. So I just "Yes sir" it....

So he keeps enlisting people in my line to attempt to order more than 2 beers.
But as each person comes up they say "Hey dude, that Alcohol Compliance guy is trying to get me to order four beers from you. F*ck him, you are killing it man. Give me two Miller Lites and throw $5 on for yourself as a tip." This happens like 5 or 6 times, Officer keeps testing, the people he enlists keep telling me he's trying to catch me, take a tip, too.

There isn't anything wrong with Jack. I enjoy it and I have a pretty wide selection of bourbons at the moment. The fun is trying different brands to see what you like. Wine snobs are the worst but anyone who takes a supeior self righteous stance about anything lacks a certain set of human principles.

Off-Topic I suppose, but, has anyone else noticed that Russel Brand (of all people) seems to have been severely Red-Pilled? Here's a link to his channel: Russell Brand www.youtube.com/c/RussellBrand/videos
I'm thinking about these two YouTube videos that have appeared on my YouTube page, one dated yesterday, Nov 12, 2021:
https://tinyurl.com/3xrxd8e3 "Err... So You're SURE Trump Wasn't RIGHT About Russia Collusion??!"
and the predecessor (I think), dated Sep 23, 2021:
https://tinyurl.com/m39wwbte "So...Trump was RIGHT About Clinton & Russia Collusion!!"
He seems to have some issues with Jeffrey Epstein, Aug 16, 2021, but I can't find anything about Harvey Goldstein in the last 6 years. It seems like Russell has slowly realized that The Left has had him, and very many other people, bent-over for a number of years, and he now sees what they've been doing.
I wonder who's next.

Bourbon is to me, a much more honest drink.
For any non Floridians here, I'm not thank allah, most liquor stores will do tastings. A very handy way to sample good booze. Montana allows it at distilleries which is very nice. But, it is not lawful to purchase more than two bottles per person at a distillery. Liquor stores have no such limit.

Finally got to talk to the volunteer who runs the military history program, he says there may be expansion ahead (more $, some restoration). Coastal artillery installations dating to WWI but greatly expanded in WWII.
Replica sailing ship in the channel, looked like the kind Cabrilho used to "discover" this bay in 1542. Was just wondering if he faced any difficulties, being Portuguese, but working for Cortes/Spain under contract - seems kinda dicey given the politix and rivalry of the time.

Bourbon nerd here. Not a fan of Jim Beam (standard -- white label). But I do enjoy Jim Beam Black (aged longer) and Jim Beam Bonded (100 proof). Are either of them my favorite? Not even close. But so what? Doesn't make me right or wrong.
The best bourbon to me has 3 components. It has a flavor that YOU enjoy at a price that YOU are willing to pay and is available whenever YOU want it.

But there's a whole lot of middle shelf bourbon that if decanted from a fancier bottle behind a more prestigious label, would fool most, if not all.
As said upthread. Sip what you like, and don't worry about the opinions of others. For that matter, I'll be thrilled if or when Tom Sims Bourbon makes it back to the shelves. 4 y/o, smooth as silk, and a 1.75 L out the door for $21. No need to spend twice that on a "prestige" bottle, just to impress.. exactly who?

I've got about 40 of those "Airline Bottles" up on top of the gun safe. Doing the same kind of tastings, in partnership with my USCG neighbor. One bottle will provide about two wee pours into the disposable plastic shot mini-glasses. Here's what we're doing. Sample no more than two varieties in a sitting. Take notes. Pint of water between varieties. Anymore than two samplings will begin to degrade the taste buds as to the nuances and subtleties.
Lastly? Go to Spec's, and get the Airline Bottle of "Fist Full Of Bourbon". I think you'll enjoy!

Currently starting from zero in trying different sipping rums. No such luck there, on the small bottles. Should probably research and find a bar with a wide selection of the more specialized brands. So far have bought 2, quite different from each other.
Rum has either no or widely varying "standards" and regulations, so it's kind of chaos and you need to research particular bottles if you're looking for particular things (no sugar added, or solera or single-cask aged, or agricole vs. molassed-based).

When they allowed women into the infantry forces, things changed. Even going through basic changed when the soldier next to you was a chick. And I won't get into the gay issue. In my day, which was not long ago, that alone was a no go.
I can see the idea that everyone that can hack it should have a chance. But for whatever reason, military standards have changed over the years. Back in the day,an infantryman had to carry 70 pounds of gear AND be able to carry his buddy out of a battle zone.
I have nothing against allowing people to compete for vary rare positions. But if people think the Army, and yes, the USMC, have not lowered many standards, then I don't know what to tell them.
BTW,. there are crazy good female soldiers in the Army and Marine Corps. The squared away Marine who handed me a folded flag years ago was a black female. She was legit and i am so happy she was given that duty.

And the even better news is that TotalWine is finally opening in SD - one sort of wonders what took so long (they've been up in Temecula for a while). They have a much, much broader and deeper serious rum inventory than BevMo, and I'd imagine their bourbon offerings are also extensive (BevMo's aren't bad, as far as my novice eye can tell).
I actually sort of know the BevMo regional manager through family connections, forgot to ask him at the last encounter (recent) what he thought of TotalWine finally entering this market.

I've been a supporter of theater when my Mom started community theater when I was in 7th grade.
Did community theater myself for a few plays, even with my low talent level.
Today, a big high school like Manhattan has plays that are at the same level regional theater was 20 years ago.
Our small rural theater gets the few students not in Fall sports. Three years ago some football stars were in the fall play, which were scheduled around the playoff games. We have strivers in our school.

Did you know there was a relatively low cost way we could have lowered the R(t) of Covid below 1, and killed the pandemic early on?
What is it? UV light sterilizers. Turns out the Covid virus is particularly vulnerable to certain UV wavelengths at intensities that are safe for public exposure.
All you needed to do was put these UV sterilizers in certain strategic public indoor spaces where the most spread was occuring (hospitals, health care, nursing homes, and a few other indoor settings), and you would have killed the damn pandemic right there.
All this wasted money and economic destruction was...unnecessary. This is real Science! of course.

The covid virus is particularly susceptible to destruction by UVC radiation at 222 nm. It's very high energy, but is blocked by the top layer of human skin, and even the top layer of the eyes.
Utterly harmless to humans at the intensity needed to destroy the Covid virus. That wavelength blows up the virus like the Martians hearing Slim Whitman.

I very much respect that you're awaiting Christ's return. I'm a Christian and await it as well. I definitely believe it will happen, someday.
But... I've known too many people who use the prospect of the apocalypse, as an excuse to not do anything to improve their own lives, and/or to manipulate others. I used to know a woman who, during the Obama admin, was constantly predicting Jesus would return in just a few days. She also made it clear that if you didn't agree with her about anything (biblical or not), you were goin' ta hell!! ;-) (Including if you preferred Pepsi over Coke.)
I admit I'm at the point that whenever I hear anyone begin to talk about Christ's return, I get a nervous tic, wondering what they're either going to demand from me, or what their angle is.
I personally think it's extremely selfish of people, who won't do the heavy lifting in their lives to improve anything here on earth, to just yelp it doesn't matter because Jesus will be back soon. IMHO they want God to hit the big red RESET button in the sky and do all the hard work for them.
But I know you're not one of those people. :-)

I may have told this story before, apologies if so. My siblings, cousins, and I built the casket for my grandpa. It was a really nice way to express our love even after his death. I think it helped with the mourning process a bit, even though I'm still mourning. When it was close to done I got in and asked them to put the cover on. It smelt like pine and was dark and enveloping. I felt ok then with putting my grandfather's body there. After I was out of course. My grandma, who didn't know what I had done, stated that she would like to crawl in there with him.
The funeral home made sure it was securely closed. Not because of the story I just told but because that was there responsibility.
Im not going to delete this because it's written now but it is hard to judge if I'm being understood without being able to see facial expressions.

The beauty of this is that that 222 nm wavelength is the sweet spot. When those photons hit the Covid virus, they kill it dead, Jim, blow it up very efficiently.
And the top layers of our skin, the dead cells absorb this range well and it does not penetrate to living tissue below.
You don't even need to put in the HVAC, although that would be very efficient. Just hang such emitters from the ceilings and on the walls in the high-spread indoor spaces, and Covid is dead.

The beauty of this is that that 222 nm wavelength is the sweet spot. When those photons hit the Covid virus, they kill it dead, Jim, blow it up very efficiently.

Do you know if this is what is used in the red light beds (similar to tanning beds but promoted for health benefits)?
Posted by: AmericanKestrel at November 14, 2021 12:43 AM (IDhUW)
That is the beauty of this. The one wavelength that is the most efficient at killing the Covid virus is one that is utterly safe for humans.
Oh, it's a high energy little photon that would do damage to your DNA if hit living cells, but the dead skin layer is essentially opaque to it. Same for the outer layer of your eyeballs. Opaque.
You can bathe in and look right at the source with no problems. Of course, long term would be a different story. You wouldn't want to risk bathing and staring at it for hours for years or something. But short term, no problem.

I know when I finally leave CA I want to go someplace that's also warm year round. Sure I can live with a little really cold weather, but not sure whether I can adjust to someplace where it's freezing for weeks at a time.
Maybe I'm selling myself short, and there are so many places where it does freeze some of the year. I love, love, love Tahoe for instance.

In any case, there's no doubt who got Dubya Dubya Two - in Europe - rolling, and it wasn't the short guy from Gori.
I suppose a counter-historical of relevance would be - would Hitler have taken Poland *without* previously conniving with Stalin to divvy it up? Though I think given all the actual known facts, answer is yes, without hesitation. USSR was in no position/condition to do anything about it, and that includes if the Wehrmacht had continued to the Soviet frontier. See Glanz if any doubt remains about that.
Given that Zhukov couldn't get Stalin to approve even minor changes in force dispositions until literally hours before Barbarossa began - and only on the strength of a particularly good line-crossing deserter from the German side with specific info on June 20 - this whole idea of a Soviet offensive westwards (with what objective? with what forces?) has always seemed a silly speculative bit of dust to me. At least in any relevant time frame.

Carlos Hathcock, until the advent of Chris Kyle, was the foremost sniper in U.S. military history. Vietnam era, and his autobiography is very descriptive of the skill and of the art. And then, yes. Also read "American Sniper", the autobiography written by Chris Kyle and I forget his co-author.
A U.S. Sniper, regardless of branch of service, no matter HOW good they are with the rifle, will fail the course if they don't master the entire range of skills required. They've gotta be able to sneak into position over a distance of tens of miles, several days, and all without a bit of external support from "home base". And then make the shot, and get out and away.
Not every engagement is so intense, but enough are, that the standards are set THAT HIGH, and must remain there. Funny, I've got the woodsmanship and land navigation parts down, but I get squirrely on the distance shots out past 500~600 yards. More time with Weasel, is indicated.

When I was a teenager, my parents discovered a campground in San Diego, called Santa Fe.
It was *between* a freeway (I think I-5) and a still-being-built neighborhood; there was constant traffic noise; and they had a huge clubhouse that looked like a new house, with a game room, MsPacMan, a pool, and super-clean restrooms. It was like camping out at Motel 6 in the middle of the city.
I loved it, even though it was the polar opposite of "getting back to nature" a la Yosemite.

I feel like a decrepit old man sometimes with this RA. I had to get a new damn battery for a tractor here. It's a 4DLT, specs say weighs 78.5 lbs with acid.
I can't handle one without help anymore. I needed one, the damn thing was dead as a doornail this morning and the battery charger couldn't handle that cold diesel. In warm weather, it could. But not know. So I said fuck it, if I can find one this afternoon, I'll replace it. I did.
Well, I go to the store, a NAPA store in Greenville that happened to have one in stock (all the main battery places are closed on Saturdays now). I get there, buy it, then ask the counter man where to back, and I'll help him get the old one out and the new one in.
Oh, no problem he says. He just picks up that brand new 4DLT like it's nothing, walks out to the parking lot really spry like, drops the new one in the truck, and picks up the old one and trots right back in.
*Sigh*. I'm useless, now.

Being a field signal platoon leader is easy. You make sure you have capable NCOs then let them do their jobs. Usually, my job was to interact with company and battalion, and play Sega-Genesis with the E-1 to E-4s. "Sir, we're nearly done setting up the shot. Why don't you go play NHL '95 with Pvt So-and-So?" A good butterbar doesn't reject such advice from a seasoned NCO. (Actually, by that summer camp, I was a 1LT.)

Reading -- skimming over a lot -- of Kirsch's stuff he calculates this. The Smallpox vaccine was the most dangerous in terms of AEs vaccine ever released before.
But, it was sterilizing and conferred real immunity, and smallpox was deadly enough that the risk benefit strongly favored it, even with the high AEs.
Kirsch figures the ClotsShots are a mimimum, 800x times worse than the smallpox vaccine. 2 orders of magnitude, nearly 3.

The Lord gave me what I wanted even though I didn't know that I wanted it. He gave me what I needed, even though I didn't want it. Here I am now, blessed beyond anything I could have imagined. I no longer consider why I am here. He knows and that is sufficient. My only concern is whether I am being a good steward of His blessings.

I have two beautiful daughters and granddaughters, as well as an amazing man who became my husband...twice!
I feel very much blessed, though it took me almost 35 years to realize that.

That sounds more Chair Force than Army. Just sayin'. One of my next projects is UEPH. Army, not Air Force. Easy on the space and the amenities. Air Force is much more, um, cushie.

you are not useless. My mom was a Whos who in America,a basketball player, and top student at UT.She was diagnosed with severe RA about the time she graduated. Her life was amazing because she was the biggest fighter out there. I would legit compare her to anyone and that is not bias, it is reality.
RA sucks,but you have ways to help it. In her day they gave methotrexate and told them to eat egg whites. This lady lived for over 55 years after her diagnosis.i won't say it is good,but we are lucky that in this time there are new meds. I do wish you well. In no way do you don't matter. You matter a Hell of a lot.

Thanks guys -- I'm just joking, really. Gallows humor of a sort. All in all, I'm doing pretty good. RA usually or in a large proportion gets in the hands and mangles them up pretty good over time.
While it's definitely in my hands, I've been spared that. I've got to watch it -- if I get to overzealous with using wrenches and hand tools, I'll pay for it over the next few days, but I've learned my limits.

Wanted to post something articulate in response to that post Publius. This was all that was needed.

The point was he put money up and planned to make some money back later on. It made her life easier because at this point, she didn't need to mess around. In know way was she enfeebled. She still had bacon and coffee every day. But that guy passed away long before she did. It is not funny,but life is funny. You do the best you can with the info you have.

You know, this might be one of those psychological illusion effects, but I could have sworn I heard a longer version which was more of a story song about a unit with a unit that gets pinned down and the machine gunner gets hit and the singer looks up to find the chaplain manning the gun.

J and her sister should sue this place for neglect, I've posted details before, but they just want closure. I'm of the opinion they should sue to prevent this from happening to others.
If anyone knows of neglect at Sierra Winds, Peoria AZ please let me know, that might change their minds.
This has been so hard on her, I feel so bad. Let's say the worst is over and better days are ahead.
