Saturday Overnight Open Thread (12/11/21)

The Saturday Night Joke

A young man with his pants hanging half off his ass, two gold front teeth, and a half-inch thick gold chain around his neck walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.


He marched up to the counter and said, "Hi. You know, I just hate drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job. I don't like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing."


The social worker behind the counter said "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You will have to drive his 2021 Mercedes-Benz CL and he will furnish your clothes."


"Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say but you will also have, as part of your job, the assignment to satisfy her sexual urges because the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive."


The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bullshittin' me!"


The social worker said, "Yeah, well... you started it." (H/T Legally Sufficient)

You had one job!

-- An exit sign on a Delaware highway was replaced after drivers pointed out on social media that it misspelled the name of the state.

Numerous posts appeared on social media this week when the Delaware Avenue exit sign on northbound Interstate 95 in Wilmington was installed and travelers quickly noticed it was spelled "Delware Ave."

What's a Saturday ONT without some sexual story? Probably a Sunday ONT.

Is Having Sex With Robots Actually a Bad Thing?

The latest AI from Abyss Creations suggests a future with sexbots is firmly on the horizon


You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who’s publicly pumped about the rise of “sexbots.” Westworld, Ex Machina and Her have trained us well — under no circumstances should intimacy and technology mix.

But our sex wants and needs have veered more digitized for years now, perhaps more than we’d care to admit. Four of the most trafficked websites in the world are pornographic; OnlyFans has revolutionized sex work; VR (and the imminent rise of the metaverse) will continue to turn the traditional bedroom experience on its head.

The ONT Musical Interlude



RIP Michael Nesmith, co-founder of The Monkees
“With Infinite Love we announce that Michael Nesmith has passed away this morning in his home, surrounded by family, peacefully and of natural causes,” his family said.

“We ask that you respect our privacy at this time and we thank you for the love and light that all of you have shown him and us.”

Smarter than the average "educator".

A friendly, if somewhat foul-mouthed, crow became a temporary mascot at Allen Dale Elementary School in November when the bird took up residence at the Grants Pass school.

“This crow showed up at our school just out of the blue one morning,” said Naomi Imel, an education assistant at Allen Dale, over the phone on Thursday.

It began looking into classrooms, Imel said, and pecking on doors. At one point, it made its way into a fifth-grade classroom where it “helped itself to some snacks,” she said.

Violent brawl breaks out at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City: video

A violent brawl involving dozens of suited-up men broke out inside a casino in Atlantic City this week, chaotic footage shows.

Police in New Jersey said the fight erupted at Harrah’s Resort just before 3 a.m. Tuesday, the Press reported.

At least one person was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries sustained in the melee, according to cops.

Footage of the fight shows multiple people being thrown to the floor and punched inside one of the casino’s dining areas.

At one point, a man in a light-colored suit jacket could be seen striking someone on the floor with a chair.

I live in a city with an 's' at the end of its name.

The media business I worked for had a major public printing/labeling job that came up and the idiot printers made the 's' into an 'apostrophe s' on all the jobs.

Needless to say we didn't pay the idiot.

56 Michael Nesmith, co-founder of the Monkees?

They were a total corporate invention by Don Kirshner.

He invented them, and had a team of song writers (Carol King and Neil Diamond among them) write all their songs, and had session musicians do the music on the first record. They started flopping when they insisted on writing their own songs.

Michael probably had some real talent, and wrote and recorded some songs after the Monkees disappeared.
But they were just a fad.

74 There's a guy named Alan Swinney. He is a Proud Boy, and he is not a nice person.

At two demonstrations in downtown Portland in August 2020, he brandished a loaded revolver, fired paintballs, and sprayed bear mace at Antifa people.

The Portland judge hearing the case sentenced him to ten years in prison (one month less than the prosecutor wanted), in part because "he had not shown any remorse". Ten years.

A couple of years ago, an Antifa person at a riot nearly beat someone to death with a metal rod in downtown Portland, resulting in a concussion and 35 stitches. He got less than six years.

Curiously, when Antifa people convicted of violent felonies are sentenced, judges in Portland don't inquire whether the Antifa person has shown remorse.

Given the lack of serious injury, without the politics I would bet that he would have gotten a couple of months in county jail, at most.

76 Shuffling tv shows on Plex, watching an episode of Wonder Women, thing that just hit me was one of the reasons Lynda Carter was so beautiful was that she was tall, 5'10", so that made her long, coupled with her voluptuousness and gorgeous face, black hair blue eyes and the, ahem, smile.

So if she was 5'10", that means in a modest heel she was 6ft, if she wore a larger heel, she could be as tall as 6'2"

As I was driving down the street I saw someone from a local tv station news van go up to his family home and knock. No one answered the door. In the other instance a girl died at a sports team practice. It turned out she had had a heart issue that could not have been predicted. A local news person tried to go into the funeral home to "interview" the parents. A friend of the family took the douchebag aside and gave him a statement. Newspeople are vultures with no common decency.

94 76 Shuffling tv shows on Plex, watching an episode of Wonder Women, thing that just hit me was one of the reasons Lynda Carter was so beautiful was that she was tall, 5'10", so that made her long, coupled with her voluptuousness and gorgeous face, black hair blue eyes and the, ahem, smile.

So if she was 5'10", that means in a modest heel she was 6ft, if she wore a larger heel, she could be as tall as 6'2"

Somewhat related - In an episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? with Drew Carey, they were doing a game called Questionable Impressions (everyone had to speak in questions, while impersonating a celebrity). Towards the end, Colin Mochrie comes out with "Do you have any messages for Craig T Nelson?" and "Did you know I was on Coach?", in his own voice. It was hilarious. Drew awarded him the points "for his masterful impersonation of Craig T Nelson".

They gave her one medicine, then after a few hours they gave her Pitocin, and a couple of hours ago they broke her water.

He's not in any distress, so I guess they're going to wait a little while longer. But daughter is tired and hungry, and I think she is about ready to ask for a C-section.

Even some of the Antifa twitter accounts are disturbed by the ten-year sentence - they seem to dimly realize that imposing draconian sentences for fairly minor politically-motivated violence may turn out badly for them at some point.

A person who is probably terrified is Alissa Azar, an Antifa "journalist" who is charged with felony riot in an adjacent more conservative suburban county, along with bear spraying an unarmed woman. Given this precedent, she should be looking at least a couple of years in stir.

149 Emmie, me too (grilled veggies with a grilled tri-tip).

You just moved from somewhere to somewhere, so don't know about availability, though these days such things are widely available, especially compared to years ago.

I like to grill some anaheim peppers to serve with the tri-tip. No seasoning - just grill them on the grates, blacken 'em up a bit. They cut with a fork and knife nicely, and their outer skin doesn't need to be peeled as with other peppers. The heat of the peppers varies quite a bit, no way to know in advance.

Another great option, if you can find them - shishito peppers. Little green finger-sized ones. Grill them up, toss in a sauce of sesame oil, bit of soy sauce, dash of sugar or agave syrup, and black pepper, and (if preferred) some hot oil of some kind. Fantastic with the grilled beef.

Reminded me I've got a nice big tri-tip in the fridge, need to trim it and put on the dry rub, maybe grill it tomorrow.

Good point. But gotta be careful because it's a fine line between too busy and pricing yourself out of the market. In our case, they charge plenty, and because they do quality work, they really are busy. Small town, limited choices.

Puddleglum started it. Then Notorious BFD weighed in. Then Bozo conservative. Thanks to all of you!

Loved that band. "Rosewood Bitters" was probably my favorite MSB song. "Stagepass" was a killer album, and definitely had one of the greatest album covers of all time!

Still have it. "Midwest midnight, ten thousand watts of holy light...."

And, of course, I missed the thread. Day late, dollar short. That's my life.

(She puts a red Christmas tree bulb on its' nose and a Santa hat on its antlers.) The attempt was unsuccessful. "Rudolph" crashed to the ground, but, once I stopped laughing, I was able to go out there and set it upright.

Today, there was another buck in the front eye giving Rudolph the eye. It looks like Rudolph is quite a hottie - if you're a lonely ghey buck.

She was only a girl, I know that well, and still I could not see;
That the hold she had was much stronger than the love she had for me.
But staying with her, and my little bit of wisdom,
broke down her desires like a light thru a prism;
into yellows and blues and a tune that I could not have sung.

Tho' the essence is gone,
I have no tear to cry for her
and my only tho't of her is kind.

289 ALH, I half it since I'm alone. Cube 4 pieces of bread. Put in greased square pan. Cook 6 oz of sausage to crumbly. Drain and put over bread. Cover with 1/2 cup grated cheese. (I use velveeta) Pour 1 1/4 C milk and two eggs beaten together over sausage, bread and cheese. Cover and put in fridge overnight. Pull out in morning and mix 1 can cream mushroom soup and 1/4 C (or more) of white wine to cover. (I'm out of wine, so beer it is) and bake at 350 for one hour. 1 hour is for a 13x9. (double the above) So I watch and see when it's bubbly.

Makes great leftovers for breakfast at work.

You can find demonstration videos of dust explosions using all sorts of material, flour, sawdust, grain dust, etc, etc.

The explosive concentration ranges vary and is very complex to determine. Where it really, really gets dangerous is with pure O2 or elevated O2 concentration. Other oxidizers can make the potential worse. Imagine some dust cloud consisting of both fuel and oxidizer dust.

296 Publius, you'll recall I had a ground fault problem with my oven. By process of elimination and conjecture, I determined the source to be the bake element. It is a covered element, and due to the too close lower casing and deflection due to heating, I suspected it was contacting the lower casing, overheating, and causing a slight current to ground at that location. Replaced it, to be sure, and ensured it was not subject to the same conditions. Thanks for your help and tips.

334 I made corn chowder for dinner. Bacon, onions, potatoes, milk, butter, served over croutons.

My wife was very proud at salvaging a case of corn on the cob at the end of the state fair, when she was working there this summer.

I got to blanch and freeze it for her. I was not impressed then, but it is nice to have now. Not sure we can eat it all, however.

We're gonna do another prime rib for Christmas here. Local price for a USDA Choice hunk is about $7/lb. I'll thrown down $70 for a hunk of meat once a year.

I was actually thinking of going all out and finding some USDA Prime, but when I saw the prices of those, my enthusiasm was curbed. Local Choice will be it.

I'm thinking here of a friend of mine who died far too young, many years ago. His widow requested that all of the women should show up looking hot, as he would have enjoyed it.

The late Mrs. Borgia complied, as did most of the other women. And yeah, they all looked good.

Most of their friends were bikers, and the service was performed by another friend of ours in the base chapel, so it's not like anyone was scandalized by it.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at December 12, 2021 12:12 AM (Q9lwr)


I have always felt that Cholula is overpriced and too vinegary. Tapatio is much cheaper, made in the US, and has an earthiness that adds a depth of flavor. However, El Yucateco habanero red is probably my favorite; not sweet and a little more intense heat.

462 I carry pressurized butane torch lighters in my 'puter bag. Primary is a triple-flame, backup is a single flame.

They exist to serve the three cigars carried in the luxurious, leather and stainless appointed three-stogie cigar case nestled into the same bag. Never know when my workday might afford the spare hour or so for some refined relaxation.

I grabbed that XMen LE because it was 5k and that is insanely cheap for the features.

My advice is to look at the Pin Map on Pinside dot com...find some Barcades local to you and go flip a ton of games.

T2 is a cool game...but it has a sound effect for attract mode that can't be shut off. Will drive you mad after a while. Black Night and all the permutations that followed are all good.

A nice Original BK in fully shopped condition will run you about 2500-3500.

There are some very good tabasco-clone sauces out of Japan. My favorite is Yuzusco - yuzo for the citrus element (their branding and packaging seems to me crafted to arouse the infamous snarling global trademark guardians for McIlhenny's, but whatever).

If you like grilled chicken kabobs (Asian style, not Middle Eastern or Central Asian), of course especially yakitori, find some yuzokoshu (horseradish-heat and yuzo bitter citrus), outstanding as an accompaniment.

531 rhomboid. Primary in my case are Manny Lopez El Cubano cigars, in the Nicaraguan Puro Maduro blend, 5.5x52 ring. Torpedo rolled. Made about fifteen miles away from me in Texas City, TX, by a 5th generation Cuban cigar rolling family. The patriarch "Fred" escaped Castro's Cuba via 27" Cape Dory sloop in the late '60s, and established the cigar factory in the early '90s.

Otherwise, I'm a big fan of the Padron (also) Puro Nicaraguan torpedo maduro, same size, and then various of the Romeo Y Julieta line. Most disappointing "prestige" label? Arturo Fuente. I've not found anything living up to the hype. Good-ish cigars, but there are so many better.

Nibbling on R & J, nothing yet from Padron or Fuente. Just had one from La Aroma de Cuba yesterday, their basic blend, quite good. Slowly/methodically sampling offerings from many brands (Oliva, Patel, Joya, Alec Bradley, on and on).

I just learned a new phrase: "haute horlogerie", or fine watch-making. It is to watches as "haute couture" is to fashion.

We once discussed Purdy firearms. Well, there are some Swiss watchmakers who are the Purdy of watches. The one that took the cake. One such name is Vacheron Constantin. They took the cake of haute horlogerie with this:

And, which should I look to towards expanding my horizons? *feedback* I love Vodka, but it's meaningless with a cigar. Adds nothing, takes nothing away.

You know, the phrase "more money than they got sense" comes to mind. But damn, I'm still impressed.

I can get off some tangents, and I got off on this watch tangent after the shenigans of me and Miley and the "atomic" watch.

The quartz revolution or "quartz crisis" as the Swiss watchmakers called it, knocked them off the top of horology. But, of the last decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in mechanical watches, and precision movements. The high end Swiss watchmakers have enjoyed a return to the top.

This is not a mass market, of course, but a market for the more money than sense crowd.

I spent my entire adult life as a metal guitar player. I seriously have no bubblegum pop tunes that I love. On the other hand there have been certain songs that I liked for reasons I don't even know the answer to. Berlin's "metro" for example. Obviously the chick singing was eye candy, and she had a good voice, but I think its the way the guitar player blasts out the power chords during the chorus, which was kinda rare for new wave, but it gave power to the song. Didn't care for anything else they did though. Not sure about guilty pleasures. I'm either metal, classical, or RUSH. I would have to think about this.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at December 12, 2021 02:44 AM (VwHCD)

I was reading about the "pure mechanical" accuracy. Back in the day, before the quartz revolution, a Swiss standard for a "good watch" was at -4 to +6 sec/day accuracy. Why the asymmetry I don't know. Better movements could exceed that, maybe in the range of +/- 3 sec/day. (this for wrist watches, not larger mechanical clocks and such).

Then came quartz, the simplest of which can beat that by an order of magnitude. Swiss outfit Zenith recently (2016ish) came up with a revolutionary new pure mechanical oscillator. The thing has a base frequency of 15 Hz, and the latest versions 18 Hz.

This gives accuracy on the order of 0.3 sec per day.

Price range for the first of these was $10Ks.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at December 12, 2021 02:51 AM (Mzdiz)

567
There is sort of a hybrid mechanical/quartz movement they've come up with. Rather than battery powered, it is mechanically powered, which turns a little generator that keeps a capacitor charged.

No battery is needed, and you get quartz accuracy. The best of these will give you a few seconds per year accuracy.

Are they really mechanical, or are they electronic? The purists argue.

If you're interested the world record for most expensive watch, sold at auction, belongs to Patek-Philippe, a Swiss haute horlogerie outfit. $31M in a 2019 auctioin.

Patek-Philippe holds the record for the most price fetched at auction.

The #3 price came in at $17.7M for the "Paul Newman Daytona" Rolex.

But Patek-Philippe is apparently the grandest of them all.

Patek-Philippe dominates the list of "most expensive watches". It's all P-P with a smattering of other names. Rolex is a piker by comparison.

There is one notable entry by a lowly Bulova, but that is David Scott's Apollo 15 "moon watch". It was a backup. Bulova lost the "moon watch" competition to Omega. But Bulovas were used for backups.

The US govt. claims ownership of just about all the moon watches, and they're not for sale. But somehow Scott's Bulova escaped that and was sold for $1.6M in 2015.
