Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - June 10, 2025 [scampydog]DIVE BAR! accessory. A bit of Old Swill on tap now and again is better than drinking out of an old leather shoe. One of the most iconic users of tin over cardboard signs were breweries, which began using them for advertising in the late 19th century. These signs, featuring the distinctive designs and became fixtures in taverns, bars, and distributors across the county. During World War II, tin became a valuable resource for the war effort, leading to a decline in the production of tin over cardboard signs. Many existing signs were repurposed or recycled to support the war effort, making surviving examples from this era particularly rare and sought after by collectors. After the war, the golden age of signs began to wane as new advertising mediums such as television and radio gained prominence. Many signs were discarded or replaced with newer materials, contributing to their scarcity today. Jukebox history. Seeburg, Rock-Ola, Wurlitzer, and more. Is the jukebox destined for extinction or just a rebirth for a mobile world? Here's a rundown of what really happened in the course of jukebox history.DIVE BARS!, a jukebox, and raspy/sexy voices go together like grit and charm - rough, but somehow still fuego. Or is it eyeliner at midnight and questionable decisions? Someone is fresh out of emotional give-a-damn.

There was a bar in Leetonia OH at one time that was nothing more than a small cinder block building, gravel floor, a few chairs and a bar.
Oh yeah, and no doors. Seriously, no doors. After last call, they simply locked up all the beer and liquor, and walked the cash register out. They'd have a 'band' outside sometimes. What. A. Dump.

We used to have a very seedy dive bar just off campus in my town. In the basement of a flower shop. Frequented by drunken college students and alumni (especially during Homecoming and St. Pat's).
You did NOT want to see what that place looked like when the lights were turned all the way up. Every table was barely held together by spit and a prayer because they were covered with carvings of patrons' names. Decent burritos for lunch, though. But don't look to closely at them, either. It's gone now, turned into a four-story student apartment building. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at June 10, 2025 10:10 PM (GlyvH) 35

A proper dive bar must have the following. Floors that have been swept sometime during the Carter administration. Yes, a juke box, beer signs. Pool cue racks on the wall even if the tables are gone. Lights that used to hang over the now absent pool tables. Waitresses who have sore feet and bad attitudes.
Most importantly, to be a real dive bar, a pay phone on the wall outside the mens room that when it rings someone answers it. Posted by: Winston AKA Pops at June 10, 2025 10:12 PM (o18eU) 41

Ahem, well,
"You Never Even Called Me by My Name" is a song written by Steve Goodman and John Prine. Prine requested to be uncredited on the song, as he thought it was a "goofy, novelty song" and did not want to "offend the country music community". Goodman released the song on his eponymous 1971 debut album Steve Goodman to little acclaim.

Best Dive Bar I was ever in (and it’s a shame that it’s all trendy and upscale now) was George’s in Waco. There was even a country album about that bar by Pat Green. In 1980 beers on tap were a quarter, me and my buddies were there a lot.

Back in the day, the South Berg on High St. in Columbus had an epic men's room:
First, let me set the stage - the bar was in the basement of a building with the requisite poor lighting and stank of beer, piss, weed, cigs and youth.

- bring your DIVE BAR tales. And wisdom. Used to party at Luigi's, on Elysian Fields Ave., out by UNO. The Radiators would play live there frequently before they got big-ish. The floors were sticky, the pool table wasn't level, and the college babes were really into young Bif's super tan (from working 6x12 in the Brown & Root Pipe Yard across the river) and mullet. Them were the days. Overtime kicked in on Thursday before lunch. Net cash flow after taxes was $450 / week.

Acapulco, Mexico before the cartels.
I was 16 going into a very sketchy bar with hardpan floors. Tin walls. Beer in bottles only. And one Coke bottler, which I bought. The comedian was a woman with a bare midriff and a 1.5 inch appendix scar. She was nervous telling Norde Americano jokes after we walked in. She was not attractive, even when I was full of testosterone. The clientele was too drunk to notice us. We left after 20 minutes.

Many, many years ago - back when dinosaurs roamed the earth - I took a job with a fledgling software company in Chicago that shared space with Embossograph, Inc., which is the company that designed and made many of those tin-on-cardboard beer signs that you write about. It's long out of business, but they made some really cool displays. As you can imagine, our office decor was pretty dive-bar-y. Ah, the good old days!

Henry Weinhard's also ran a series of commercials where a smiling trooper from the Oregon State Beer Patrol constantly intercepted a couple of down on their luck truckers, who were trying to smuggle a load of "Schudwiller" beer into the state.
Oddly enough, Weinhard trademarked the "Schudwiller" brand name, just in case somebody wanted to benefit from the free advertising. Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at June 10, 2025 10:26 PM (oxZ9r) Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at June 10, 2025 10:27 PM (QnmlO) 96

I don't recall the name of the dive bar I hung around at in my salad days. I might be getting 29.
Had a little sunken dance floor, with bars and barstools along the perimeter so the old guys could leer at the college girls. Shitty loud dance music. Electronic dartboards, frequently triggered by the shitty loud dance music before you threw a dart. Pull-tabs served from a little counter in the corner, run by a woman who was the model for Marge Simpson's sisters. Drank whiskey-n-cokes, rum-n-cokes, whatever-n-cokes because the bartenders couldn't hear me over the shitty loud dance music. Or they just didn't care. Old-school bowling alley in the basement. Owned by the same family, I think. It was pretty nice, considering what lived above it. Posted by: mikeski at June 10, 2025 10:28 PM (DgGvY) 103

I watched Gov. Hair Gel's speech, or actually the condensed version provided by the local news.

I was fortunate to see David Allan Coe live in 2014 at the Redneck Country Club in Houston. The owner went on-stage and gave us the rules for the performance. David would immediately leave the stage and not return if he was heckled, heard requests for songs, or if we yelled in appreciation or applauded during the performance. Amazingly, the crowd of mostly drunk Texans, including myself, complied for 90 minutes. I enjoyed his performance immensely.

Sawdust floors, sit on old beer barrels (seriously dented, usually), something like 17 bars in there, more than one band playing at any time, and a recreation of the Bird House Bar, which, before it burned, had the largest collection of brassieres in the world pinned to the ceiling and walls. And always smelled of stale beer and cig smoke.
I prefer the Tug Bar. Great folks, great food, heavy hand on the drinks, yes, they do know my name. They have an "overboard bloody Mary" on Sunday mornings for $75, you have to order it in advance, and it is well worth the price. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 10, 2025 10:54 PM (a4NoL) 181
First of all, a true dive bar is old. Probably been around since the 40's or so. Some of the patrons will have been steady customers ever since. The men, older, unshaven. There will be the aroma of age, stale beer, cigarettes, and unwashed ashtrays. The clintele will be consistent, the same people. Very few women, but a couple.
Any varnished wood will be worn raw in spots. Lighting will be marginal. Advertising signs will be old. The bar tender is probably the owner. Don't expect upscale liquors...or Guiness stout. There's at least an even chance that the place will be named for the owner (or previous owner) Example. - 'Fred's'. I've spent time in dozens of such, all over the eastern U.S. Now, we can move on to biker bars, a different genre. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at June 10, 2025 10:54 PM (XeU6L) 182

"A dive bar is like porn." My addendum: "like low budget porn"* low budget (&/or amateur porn): you can see the shadows of the boom mikes; and often the boom mikes themselves are inadvertently lowered into the scenes. (oops!) The cinematography itself is about as varied as a police custodial interview-- you know what I mean. Two chairs, one on either side of a plexiglass partition. * gentrified, high budget porn is the same quality as a Hollywood movie. I think a lot of legit film directors make these. Money is money.

Parker's 4 Royal in Soldotna qualifies as a dive bar. Good burgers.
The best dive bar in Anchorage was the Trade Winds, long gone, but once the heart of the Spenard biker gangs. Girls never got carded. Girls were perfectly safe there, too. Guys, OTOH, had to be of a certain attitude and type to hang. I think I was 15 the first time I dropped in there. Was treated like a queen. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 10, 2025 10:55 PM (a4NoL) 188

So there I was, at a bar in Portoroz, Yugoslavia. Around 0500 a brawl erupts. This was during the World Cup Metric Football contest (1990). Scotland had lost a regional match to whomever, and they started hurling bottles and curses. Everyone scampered out of the place, and my buddy and I (we were Army medics) saw a guy run headlong into a chest-high barricade and fall flat on his back. We rushed over, and found that he had been stabbed several times. We began doing what we could what with not having our aid bags with us, since we were on vacation.
Sarge hauls us up by our collars and tells us to get the fuck out of the AO, because cops were arriving. So, we wandered off, cleaned the blood off our hands in a fountain, then waded in the Adriatic sea as the sun rose. that was a fun trip.

Most infamous dive bar I was ever in was Wolfy’s, in Cory’s Christi. I was training to be an oilfield engineer early in ‘83 and me and some of the other guys and decided to go. 3 stage strip bar, lots of bikers there, we didn’t know why. We knew we were out of place when one of the girls walked up to us and “y’all must either be cops or engineers, standin’ there like you don’t know what to do next.” We stayed there about an hour but were real fish out of water, luckily nobody paid much attention to us.
A year later I was reading an expose on big biker gangs in the US, and read “The Bandidos, believed to be the most powerful gang in the southwest, and rumored to operate out of their HQ at Wolfy’s Bar in Corpus Christi…” Fools rush in and all that.

Best dive bar ever for me was "Popeyes" in Yokosuka, Japan. All Gomi (2nd hand throwaway) furniture. A pool table with more curves than Christina Hendricks. $5 Blue Chu-hais and Rum and Cokes that were all Rum and a splash of Coke - don't drink more than two, trust me I tried. A fight or three every night. Hard Rock on the speakers.
The Navy then (early 90s) had three Shore Patrol areas in the Honch (Honshu Yokosuka) - the two blocks to the left of the road out of the main gate, the first two blocks the the right, and...Popeyes alone was the third. Posted by: Jeff Weimer at June 10, 2025 11:02 PM (zrlyb) 217

Me and a couple of buddies were off duty, after a long day of kicking commie butt in Central America. (long story).
Having departed one seedy bar after a syphilitic whore and her pimp started paying too much attention to us, we were headed towards home when we spotted an open door. Inside the door were a few tables and chairs, a bar made of a couple of planks across some tall sawhorses, and a refrigerator full of beer. We were starting to put a dent in the beer supply, when the fluent Spanish-speaker in our group urgently said, "Guys, lets get out of here! The bartender just asked me to take him home with me!" That was when we finally noticed the place was filled with nothing but men. Manly men. Who looked like they'd want to do manly things in the manner of men. We had somehow stumbled into the only gay bar in Honduras. We beat a hasty retreat and slogged home in a tropical downpour, with water over our ankles.

I think most bars and other establishments in Anchorage calmed down after the pipeline era, when the mafia and the Brothers moved out of town. Now it's just the usual low-lifes acting out. Used to hear about murders in the parking lot at Koots or the Trade Winds, but not so much any more.

I don't remember the name, but there was a dive/boat bar in Panama (the country) near the canal zone. The Zonies (Americans who worked at the canal zone, many for generations) gathered there after work for a quick dive or boat ride before sunset, and tradition was that five minutes before the sun lowered into the Pacific, you got your order in so you could raise a glass to surviving another day. I recall the mai tais were pretty good. I have no idea if there was a juke box, but plenty of folks made up for with their own, special renditions of beloved favorites. Volume made up for quality.

That sort of crap. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 10, 2025 11:06 PM (a4NoL) I heard that the original Skinny Dick passed away some years ago. Bar's still there as far as I know, though (it's been a minute since I was up the Parks Highway to FBX). Remember Ceil down at the Bore Tide (and numerous other dives)? She was spectacular. Nice lady, too. R.I.P. I wonder if they needed an extra deep casket to accommodate those mammaries. https://tinyurl.com/m4dbxaj4 Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at June 10, 2025 11:12 PM (qpyNK) 251

I used to frequent a bar called The Dirty Ol' Tavern. It was, most definitely, a dive bar, but the clientele weren't what you would expect. It turns out, the place was owned by The Fraternal Order of Police. It was situated right next to a prison. So, the regulars were retired cops and off duty prison guards.
Great darts. Cheap beer. Great conversations (story telling mostly). Everyone in the joint was packing, so there was rarely any trouble. National Bohemian Beer on tap. Posted by: Orson at June 10, 2025 11:12 PM (dIske) 256
Dive bars: my hometown had a bunch of them, that I never ventured into. I wanted to live. My hometown could be a bit clannish. I've been to a few around military bases. There were a few around MacDill AFB that I, sort of, remember. Ricks, The Warehouse, and one other that i can remember where its at (along Bayshore Blvd, a few blocks from the base). All were, well, dives. Nothing stands out except The Warehouse, which was an obvious front for criminal organizations. Beer was cheap and the in house band was good, so it had that going for it. Don't use the bathroom. A toxic hazard. Just piss in the back somewhere. Watch out for drug deals and gang hits. Rick's had a good in house band. I'm going from memory and this was over 25 years ago. I'm sure much has changed.

It wasn’t a dive bar, but about six blocks from my family’s last Chicago apartment was KayZee’s Bar. 66th and Kedzie in Chicago Lawn. This was 1962-65. The folks would stop in on weekends to have a few beers and watch the Cubs get slaughtered. Jack Brickhouse announcing. Hamm’s Bear, um, Beer commercials. Nobody, staff or the crowd at the bar, cared if the kids were there too as long as they didn’t get in the way, so the folks would be at the bar and we’d be off in a booth over cokes and comic books. The bartender was a friend of my parents and if it was a Saturday night after he finished his shift we all went to his place across the street from the bar and the adults would play penny-ante poker while his kids and my sister and I watched the Saturday night monster movies on Channel 5.
Gone now, the place and the people and I miss ‘em all. The building is still there but it’s been a Mexican restaurant for years. Not a dive, and not really anything special. But the thread about bars reminded me of it, so I thought I’d toss in a comment. Posted by: Just Some Guy at June 10, 2025 11:16 PM (q3u5l) 264

There were a couple of Anchorage bars in the '80s that were always running specials like "nickel beers" and "25 cent drinks". I mean constantly. Like, every night.
Most people couldn't figure out how they stayed in business. Me, I soon figured out that they were laundering money. "See, Mr. IRS Dude? We sell beers for $2 each, and here are our receipts for ordering fifty million kegs of beer from the wholesaler. So that explains how we're making $100,000 per night." Never mind that most of the beers went out the door for $0.05... Naturally, the places were always packed. (numbers exaggerated for effect).

I was born in Brooklyn in 1955. There were 60,000 Norwegians in Bay Ridge and hundreds of thousands of Irish. There were many dive bars on 5th and 8th Avenue. Many men here from Ireland or Norway working in the trades with their families in the Old Country. The men sent $$ home to their families, but lots of them hung out in the bars.
In those days mostly before air conditioning, the bars had screen doors in summer and every place smelled the same from the street. Stale beer and cigarettes made up most of the fragrance. Posted by: I Can Still Smell It at June 10, 2025 11:22 PM (G5+As) 276

An early afternoon once in Sterling VA. Sitting a bar and it's mostly empty. I'd never been in it before. Phone rings and as the bartender reaches for it, I tell him "If that's my wife, I'm not here.". He looks at me weird as.we've never met. Then the guy down the bar, a regular, says " If that's his wife, I'm not here either."

I noticed the sunset location varies several degrees depending on the season. ----------- Tonight is full Moon, the Strawberry Moon (last full Moon of astronomical spring, or June full Moon, depending on which convention you prefer). It's also a major lunistice peak. Tonight's full Moon (07:43Z, 03:43AM EDT), will be about the lowest in can be over the horizon at meridian. That's 26.5 degrees here, which also means the Moon rises and sets about as far south as it can ever. Yep, sunrise and set angle vary with the seasons, which depends on Sol's declination. The angle the ecliptic makes with the horizon and sunset and sunrise determines timing of twilight and how fast it gains altitude.

My city had 3 excellent dives before gentrification in the '00s.
Two on the second floor, one in a basement. Tile floors, plastic walls, loooong bars with the same 3 beer taps every 4ft and staircases so narrow you're rubbing navels with whatever man is going there other way. Jukebox and multiple pool tables, of course. Wine was "red" or "white" and came out of a box on the shelf. One was the only 24hr bar at the time, so it was popular with returning sailors and there was always this one midget in there and he would reliably pick a fight with any Pacific Islanders who walked in. The other one was frequented by the emotionally busted office clerks drowning their sorrows before heading back to whatever 8x10 cell he could afford after the divorce. Both were places to walk in, park up, and drink with your change sitting on the bar in front of you next to the ashtray ready to pay for the next beer. The closest thing to conversation was yes to the bartender asking "another one?" or no to whatever lonely drunk imagined someone else might care about him and his problems. Just "no". The downstairs dive was rowdy. Good times. I'd clean forgotten about them until tonight. Posted by: Nato at June 10, 2025 11:44 PM (bYJ7Q) 322
If you want to see the exact topocentric coordinates of all this at your exact location, use timeanddate.com with a URL in the form: "www.timeanddate.com/sun/@lat, long" where lat and long are your exact coordinates. Use 6 or 7 decimal places for good accuracy. Now, that's the sunrise/set/noon page. Click on the Moon pages and the others and you'll see all sorts of info. It will give rise and set azimuth and all that for every day of the year. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 10, 2025 11:44 PM (w6EFb) 323

North Shore Oahu had the Sugar Bar, a re-purposed traditional looking bank building. Total dive. Had a horribly out of tune old piano. Beer and supplies stored in the vault. Live music on occasion, Tommy Miller was a local fixture, and quite good actually. Totally packed wall to wall on weekends, an eclectic mix of locals, surfers, trustafarian hippies, shady characters, and military personnel enjoying their scarce time off.
Itaewon, or downtown had the Seoul Pub, an English style establishment run by a German ex-pat with Australian citizenship named Guenther. Had Guiness on tap, and bangers and beans and a few other gustatory accouterments that were pretty rare for South Korea. Prices weren’t too bad. My buddy complained that Guenther wouldn’t offer favorable exchange rates when converting dollars to won, he noted the bank just down the street had better rates. “Yes, but zee bank vill not surf you a bier” was his retort.

It was cloudy at sunset/moonrise tonight, and I couldn't see the Moon rising so far south. I can see it now, through some clouds obscuring it a bit. This is lowest a full Moon can be within less than a degree, maybe 1/2 degree. The Moon's lowest declination will be tomorrow around 8PM, so tomorrow's culmination will be at 26.1 degrees, lower than tonight by 0.4 degrees, and still looking pretty full. To appear at the lowest possible, you'd have to have full Moon appear directly on the June solstice, and the declination minimum happen exactly then as well (within a few hours). We're getting about as close to that now as we ever get. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 10, 2025 11:49 PM (w6EFb) 330
Elon Musk retweeted Robert Scoble@Scobleizer
Unlike other automonous vehicle companies, @Tesla had its customers: 1. Pay for the R&D. 2. Pay for the cars. 3. Do the AI training. The world is about to change deeply. I've been doing a bunch of consumer research by interviewing customers of @waymo (a competitor). They almost universally tell me: 1. They don't want to own a car anymore. 2. They don't want to drive anymore. 3. They don't want to take Uber anymore. And Tesla can underprice Waymo AND provide a better experience to boot. Oh, and because @elonmusk got us to pay already the Tesla network will be profitable almost from the start. Why did I do that research? Early adopters tell me how everyone else will behave I've learned many times in my career.

The ONT has outdone itself tonight!
Rainier Beer, aka Vitamin R, the elixir of my youth and college days. The brand bounced around different ownerships after the original Rainier brewery in the Georgetown neighborhood was sold to Heilman and then to the current owners, Pabst, but the good news is that it has gotten popular again with the college crowd and working man. Sadly, however, I was told just last week that Henry Weinhard's is no more. The first "craft" beer I remember, from Portland, Oregon, was indeed a legend. But as the beer is but a memory, as was the city it came from. Once a fantastic place to visit or live, Portland, for all intents and purposes, is now gone, too. Leftism is an evil bitch.

Thanks, Publius. A simple though neat camping trick I learned from Colin Fletcher, shoot the azimuth of the sunrise with your compass and write it down.
Armed with this info, one can locate a tent (or whatever) to take advantage of early sunshine rays in winter. Or, alternatively maybe one might want to take advantage of maximum shade in the summer and sleep in a bit. Can even lay sleeping bag down aligned in the long shadow of a tree trunk or rock, that kind of thing. Posted by: Common Tater at June 11, 2025 12:00 AM (joemM) 338

I highly recommend the desktop version of Stellarium, if you're interested in all this. It will display more information than you can shake a stick out. You can have it project the ecliptic, equator, hour angle circles, invariable plane and all that on the sky view. There you can see how the angle and altitude of the ecliptic vary over the day. You can get a good handle on how things behave seasonally from that. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 11, 2025 12:01 AM (w6EFb) 340

Posted by: Kindltot at June 11, 2025 12:08 AM (D7oie) Dad would bring home Lucky Lager, in the stubby bottles, for years. IIRC it was brewed in Vancouver, WA. Then one time, he suddenly changed to Heidelberg in the keg bottle, and that was his beer of choice every evening after a hard and long, blue collar day. Brewed by Carling Brewery, Tacoma, WA. He would buy Rainier once in a while, it was usually during a summer neighborhood gathering, like Memorial or Labor Day, or 4th of July. It was strange at our house when I was growing up that sometimes a beer or two in our refrigerator would simply disappear, about the time when I turned about 14 or 15. It never happened when dad first got home after a long day and cracked the first one, it seemed to happen when he would fall asleep in his chair after having 4 or 5 and finishing dinner. And they would collect in the old refer in the garage, hidden behind the cans of pop and other things mom kept in there. To this day, it's a mystery.

Cheapest beer?
On the ride to Lake Tapps in the mid 70's to take a spin in somebody's dad's ski boat, we would stop at the little Lake Tapps store on the back side of the lake and buy Columbia beer, 99 cents a six of cans. It tasted horrible, but as college students, we found as long as you put enough ice in the cooler, it wasn't bad as long as you drank it fast enough. The savings on beer went to pay for gas for the ski boat. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at June 11, 2025 12:37 AM (dadcM) Posted by: scampydog at June 11, 2025 12:37 AM (41CYW) 392

Well, the Zip van has a seat now. Looked simple, going in. "Hey! Find a piece of steel plate 14" by 12", drill four holes, weld it to piece of pipe that can slip into the existing pipe stanchion on the floor. What could go wrong?"
First, I needed a piece of steel plate. Had to liberate that from a welded-up bracket no longer needed for its original use. Break out the plasma cutter. And the angle grinder. OK, I have a sturdy plate. Lay out and drill four holes for the studs on the seat slides. Did it wrong. Twice! Ended up slotting the holes. OK, it fits the seat slides. Wut?? The seat slides don't slide. Somebody had welded blocks on them to prevent them from sliding. Cut those off. Then had to oil up the slides. and work them a whole lot to make them free again.

There’s a bar off a dirt road between Aberdeen and a dirt road to another road that gets you to Olympia. The Brooklyn Tavern. Parking lot is covered in bottle caps. Inside with old logging photos and saws and antlers. It has one of two working spittoons that run along the floor under the barstools (the other is in Roslyn). They have a “Weather Rock” outside and an awesome deck.

I deleted Photoshop CS6 from my old PC and installed in on my new PC. So far so good. When I start up PS I get an error that asserts that I exceeded my activation limit and that I need to log into my Adobe account and deactivate one or more machines. Alright, totally reasonable. When I log in to do that the Adobe Activation server says I have no active devices.
Winner, winner, winner, I am a winner. Damn. After some internet searching and fussing around on the Adobe I site I end up with Adobe's AI chatbot that promptly directs me to the deactivation page. And when I tell it I need an activation reset it promptly drained all my bank accounts. Quite an escalation but it happens. Tomorrow my day is cleared out so I can spend hours on the Adobe support line. I am pretty sure the conversation is going start with Adobe telling me they don't support CS6 with me going this is not a CS6 issue with Adobe going but this issue is related to so CS6, so piss off, wash, rinse repeat. Finally, the AI chat box has disclaimer on it that notes it is known to make crap up and lie to you and anything it tells you is up to you to decide if it is lying. Alright.

When I was little, would watch Concentration-- a game show-- hosted by (iirc) Alex Trebek.
After matching pairs of rectangles (that covered the whole puzzle) to uncover bits at a time, the winner would solve the puzzle if s/he could with the least amount of parts uncovered. I think. Been a looonnng time...not sure what the rules were. But I remember those funny puzzles! Posted by: JQ at June 11, 2025 12:29 AM (rdVOm) Hugh Downs, not Trebek.

It was strange at our house when I was growing up that sometimes a beer or two in our refrigerator would simply disappear, about the time when I turned about 14 or 15. It never happened when dad first got home after a long day and cracked the first one, it seemed to happen when he would fall asleep in his chair after having 4 or 5 and finishing dinner. And they would collect in the old refer in the garage, hidden behind the cans of pop and other things mom kept in there. To this day, it's a mystery.

No Scum Allowed looks like a great Spot.
It was one of my favorite spots in NM. The woman who runs has a master degree in speech pathologies. I found that to uniquely appropriate skill set for running a saloon. Especially after 11 pm. She brings bands and host other things. Peeps drive from all over to be there. My first time I ended up photographing a wedding - they couple spaced out getting pics. It was a hoot. Another time I bought a "limited edition t-shirt" and sent it off to the boy spawn. When he went there the first time I made him wear the shirt. She recognized it in a hot second. Boy spawn was a minor royal for a couple hours. This place checks all the boxes. Posted by: Altaria Pilgram - My President has convictions at June 11, 2025 01:11 AM (NXz8h) 434

I remember those old rebus puzzles under the bottle caps on Haffenreffer's private stock, that was horrible stuff to drink.

Yeah, I grew up in Texas and the legal age for drinking was 18. (I don't know what it is now, I know MADD had a lot of laws changed back in the day) Anyway, before I turned 18 it was easy to get beer. We would just hang around outside a store and give an older customer some money to buy the beer for us. Never had anyone rip us off. They always came back to give us our beer.

Doggy owners who crate- where is your crate? I have Saijo’s in the family room, but I feel bad he is away from us and by himself out here at night. I am thinking of putting it in our room, but there is still a working out of things with the cats, and our room is their sanctuary. He is really only in his crate at night and if no one is home. He will go in by himself at times, too.

Tonight, the full Strawberry Moon is on the rise, with the moment of syzygy at 07:43 Zulu this morning, or 3:43AM EDT. This is the peak of the major lunistice cycle, when the Moon's equatorial orbital inclination is greatest. This varies over an 18.6 year nodal precession cycle, and produces a range of equatorial inclination of 18.3 to 28.6 degrees. Thus, the Moon can appear 5.1 degrees higher or lower than the sun. The "sub-lunar" point varies accordingly. At any rate, the full Moon tonight is going to be the lowest on the horizon that it can appear, and rise and set about as far south as it can. This varies with your latitude and longitude, but it will be minimum it can ever be for your location. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 10, 2025 08:27 PM (w6EFb) 88

Cats get a bad rap, but my mom had an orange tabby that was basically a super-friendly puppy in a feline body. I called him the “dat” (dog cat). He recognized his name, was almost annoying social, and acted like a lovesick puppy in almost every way. My dad found him as a stray kitten in a puddle. He was half dead and almost certainly wouldn’t have lived another 24 hours. My dad could not resist strays. Neither could my mom. He lived to be almost 23.

Cats eat grass to settle their stomachs. Sometimes they puke the grass back up again, and other times they pass through and are pooped out. Sometimes they don't go all the way and like this evening one of the cats had a piece of grass sticking out of his ass. He was amazingly miffed when I pulled it out the rest of the way.

Ken Martin is nearly in tears -- or actually in tears --as he complains that David Hogg is making his job too hard and that David Hogg isn't Positioning Him For Success.Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told party leaders in a recent private conversation that he's unsure about his ability to lead the party because of infighting created by Vice Chair David Hogg. "I'll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job ... the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don't know if I wanna do this anymore," he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers, according to a recording obtained by POLITICO. In the recording, an emotional Martin describes being deeply frustrated by the fallout over Hogg, who has ignited a firestorm in the party by vowing to spend $20 million in safe-blue primaries to oust incumbent Democrats he believes are ineffective. Martin paused twice while appearing to choke up. The intraparty feud, Martin said on the recording, is making it more difficult for the party to do its work -- and had ruined his ability to demonstrate leadership. "No one knows who the hell I am, right? I'm trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money and do the job I need to to put ourselves in a position to win," Martin said, addressing Hogg. "And again, I don't think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it's really frustrating." It was an extraordinary admission from the chair of the Democratic Party, just a few months after being elected to lead the party through its post-2024 crisis. The nearly two-minute clip does not include the entire conversation, including how Hogg and others may have responded to Martin. Asked for an interview, Martin, 51, sent a statement through a spokesperson. In it, he said, "I'm not going anywhere." ... Asked for comment, party leaders rallied behind Martin, expressing confidence in his leadership. In a statement, DNC Associate Chair Shasti Conrad, who attended the Zoom meeting and was briefly mentioned on it, said Martin "showed vulnerability in a private conversation" and "stood up" for the Democratic Party. "He shows up with authenticity. Always," she said. "That's what you'll hear on the tape."He's an authentic pussy. Perfect representative of the Democrat Masculine Ideal. I took an old Buzzfeed quiz titled "Which Sex & the City Character Are You?" I was hoping for Samantha, but I got "DNC Head Ken Martin." I didn't even know he was on the show. I think AI took over the quiz to call me a f&ggot.

BREAKING: Trump tells Fort Bragg troops their fallen brothers didn�t die so LA could burn at the hands of �third world lawlessness.�
In a sense they did. Shrub let them die in the sandbox so as not to upset the people who brought all these illegals in. If he had rounded up every Clinton Nat Sec official and hanged them on 9/12 and then launched a real war on the jihadis not only would most of those fallen servicemen still be alive we wouldn't have 40M southern invaders burning our cities right now Posted by: 18-1 at June 10, 2025 06:35 PM (t0Rmr) 7

Oddly for his persona and appearance, Hogg seems to be kind of interested in results and earning your position. Its a bit at odds with his politics but that seems to be his concern with some of the people he has to work with.

__________________________ I'm guessing whiny Ken Martin doesn't understand how this is handled in the real world setting. Subject matter and context removed, when you have a slimy little git sticking his underling fingers in your food, you make an example of him. That ZOOM call was a perfect forum to hand Hogg his own posterior in front of other underlings. It sends a message, and if you're lucky, Hogg goes and does something similarly stupid giving you all the rope you need to send him to the discount bin.

That story was pushed by that guy who was "most decorated soldier ever" or whatever with the help of his Leftist girlfriend. They were willing to undo the American war effort for some money/political points. I said then, I say now, a country that does not want to survive, won't. As a country we still are not committed to our own survival. Do we have the will to send crying mommies home? Do we have the will to take the people buying bricks for "peaceful protesters" down for criminal conspiracy? So far, no.

I think Trump is one of the very few ultra-wealthy who realize that there is "moat" of sorts around them personally since their "circle" can't afford to tell him no or the truth on a regular basis. So Trump likes it when he goes a couple of levels below his circle with regular Joes and Janes and we just say whatever is on our minds without trying to bribe him for anything.

One quality-among others-that I really like about President Trump-is that he seems to really enjoy being with normal Americans - which I think is rather surprising considering how wealthy he is .
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 10, 2025 06:46 PM (nWhjA) When I was on a small island here in Spring 2016 defending Trump I got asked why I even believed he would be a great President. I said it was because he loved America - and of course got laughed at - but he did. I said at *worst* he would be an 80's type Democrat, which were people who genuinely loved the country and wanted it strong. I don't mean elected Democrat. They've been commies forever.

I will admit I was a big supporter of the invasion of Iraq and a fan of Bush and Rumsfeld.
But ultimately they failed - the job was to roll up the Muslim world not sit in Iraq for a decade and a half to let the bad guys take potshots at us at leisure. On April 9 the Army should have lefft-wheeled and driven up the highway to Damascus. They could have been parked on Dr. Assad's front lawn in 48 hours.

When Donald was a boy he started working for his father who was already a pretty wealthy real estate guy. I remember reading an article during the 2016 election that was original written years ago about his first job which was to maintain the tenant laundery machines in his father's apartment buildings. They interviewed some of the tenants who had lived in the buildings at the time, many of them elderly, Jewish people, and they all praised young Donald as a very friendly and helpful young man who went out of his way to make sure everything was right for the tenants. Trump was born wealthy and these were very middle class people. I don't think it's an act, he was raised right. Posted by: JackStraw at June 10, 2025 07:02 PM (viF8m) 148

Since aliens cannot legally work in this country, they technically can't pay income tax, so any inputs into the system are through local sales taxes and fees, and if they could theortically contribute, they are as a group, low-skilled, low-skilled is a proxy for low-wage, and per our progressive tax system, low-wage people largely pay nothing. ...
Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 10, 2025 07:02 PM (XV/Pl) ++++ Illegals do pay sales tax. And the ones with stolen identities (or who were given SSNs by the government) probably pay some nominal income tax that all gets returned through the EITC and other carve-outs. But illegals do not pay in more than they take out. If they did, we wouldn't have any illegals. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 10, 2025 07:05 PM (C19Uv) 173

Posted by: 18-1 at June 10, 2025 07:09 PM (t0Rmr) ++++ Yup. You *can* remake a civilization at swordpoint, but you have to slaughter a *lot* of fighting-age men to do it. The more alien the culture you are trying to conquer, the more slaughter it takes. A third is the minimum for a war between aliens. You have to not only defeat them, but destroy their culture by killing literally *everyone* who can fight for it and wiping out an entire generation, which amount to a large plurality or outright majority of males aged about 13 to about about 25. Slaughter the men, take the best of their women for wives and remake it in your own image under ruthless control for the next few generations. It can be done, but the blood cost is astronomical - and there is no short cut. If you're not prepared to do that - and virtually nobody is, even if the capability is there - then don't talk about "nation building." Just kill people and break things until they back off, then go home. Then do it again every generation. That's the alternative.

One quality-among others-that I really like about President Trump-is that he seems to really enjoy being with normal Americans - which I think is rather surprising considering how wealthy he is .
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 10, 2025 06:46 PM (nWhjA) ----------------- His past life kept him close to the Everyman in the construction business. In top of that he was bankrupt a couple of times which brought him down to the ground. His enemies are almost all comfortable upper middle class, trust fund babies and billionaires or old money. None of them ever felt a moment of discomfort. Posted by: Decaf at June 10, 2025 07:20 PM (unUNN) 268

I laugh when I think of how Conservatives complained Terry Moran wasn't being fair, and liberals defended him.
Here's the funny thing - I don't think trump is very conservative, he's transactional. He does what the people who voted for him want, and fuck everyone else. If progressives were less hostile toward him, he no doubt would be a lot nicer to them. But progressives can't play nice, and Trump isn't someone who lets water roll off his back. And get this - he's a fucking professional troller. He will troll your stupid ass, find every flaw you have, and exploit it. This guy spent decades building skyscrapers in Manhattan. He knows every trick. Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at June 10, 2025 05:38 PM (D1vbu) 42

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at June 10, 2025 05:38 PM (i5Vkf) ++++ Not at all. Something that is worthless is irrelevant. It has no value, neither positive or negative. A blackened crumb that falls off your toast is worthless. It isn't something you want, but it also does you no harm. It just sits there. You can leave it on your plate or brush it into the wastebasket or let it fall to the floor and, on balance, your life is exactly the same regardless of which route you choose. There is no value and no harm. It's just a breadcrumb. If the GOP were merely worthless, it would be much better than it is. But it sadly *isn't* worthless. It does actual harm while lying to the rubes about its ambitions and motivations. If they just sad in their offices eating their salaries and otherwise doing nothing, we'd better off than we are with them doing things.

Its going to be tough to hire anyone not hard left out of Journalism School, but you gotta cull the really glassy-eyed zealots, the raving loonies.
This brings me to a point I've been pondering a while now: the left needs a reformation. I would argue HAD their reformation, becoming more radicalized and fundamentalist. But the left needs their reformation to cool down and cut out their leftist loons. The left is a religion on all but name. They have their demented, evil versions of origins, morality, deity, law, blasphemy, sacraments, doctrine, and order of worship. But they are taken over by the screaming freaky extremists, their worst, and least sane extreme. They have to reform so they can purge this influence and get back to their origins of rights, freedom, compassion, care for the poor, and upholding the downtrodden.

Want to have a news outfit? Do not hire from J-schools. Not even once. Forcibly remove anyone who walks through your doors with a degree in journalism, organizational communications, mass media or related fields. The only media-related degrees on your payroll should be the technical staff who run the equipment who went to a trade school masquerading as a university - though even they should be viewed with suspicion.

Kinda like those hot foreign weather gals ... but The News. It does seem true that hot bodied females get more views than (maybe more informed and resourceful) average males.

Unless you can demonstrate that you put him in his place and humiliated him, better to say you didn't talk to him at all. And since the nightly news probably isn't going to cover the evidence to the contrary, the people you're lying to aren't even going to notice. That kind of obvious lie is for the true believers, to make them more passionate. It isn't for the normals.

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at June 10, 2025 06:19 PM (E4th+) ++++ Entirely possible. When the "Speaking With American Men" thing broke a couple of weeks ago, one of the pieces of commentary was from a Dem strategist who didn't like it because she thought that base wanted more unhinged insanity, not less. And she is probably right. The Dem base is increasingly insane. It's also diminishing, but getting more and more radical. And Karen - who is the heart and soul of the Party - does *not* want a phony "return to the center" or any such nonsense, she wants more molotov cocktails and derangement. If things go like they have been, Newsom may well be able to make himself the shoe-in for the nomination. He'll lose 40 states, but he'll gallop of the nomination finish line. It comes down to whether any of the spooky bastards at the top have the will to prevent Newsom or someone like him from taking the nomination and leading them to electoral disaster.

Pro-Palestinian activists dress as Hamas, re-enact Oct 7 massacre in Brussels
Pro-Palestinian activists dressed as Hamas terrorists reenacted the October 7 Massacre in central Brussels during the third annual Samidoun-organized "Resistance Festival," which ran from June 6 to Sunday, June 8. Videos from the event show masked men in keffiyehs and army fatigues pointing prop guns, while other actors play dead bodies heaped on the floor. When the men playing Hamas terrorists see that everyone is dead, they put their arms around one another and raise their hands in victory. Fake blood is also seen in the video. The re-enactment, accompanied by music and a voice-over about “From the river to the sea,” was met with whoops, cheers, and applause from the audience. https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-857117 Belgium: The Gaza Strip of Europe.

The "evidence" for this conspiracy theory is photographs and videotape of the antifa riot masks being delivered. In other words -- more RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION AI CHEAPFAKES!

President Trump on Tuesday made clear he's considering stronger federal intervention in response to violent demonstrations in Los Angeles, sparked by a wave of federal immigration enforcement raids. While not committing to action, Trump said invoking the Insurrection Act remained an option if the violence escalates.

This is another 80-20 issue. The nation watched all the riots and destruction and violence of the last 20 years by the radical left and watched as police stood by, prosecutors jailed people who fought back and their cities burned.
80% of the country was angry and frustrated and wants action to shut down this crap. 20% of them want it to be expanded and to join in. Guess which side the Democrats are down with, again. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 10, 2025 04:39 PM (e7kz6) 18
Homan is on the most recent episode for Doctor Phil, first thing he says is that the raid that triggered the riots was against a furniture company that is one of the businesses being targeted for money laundering through the drug cartels, and tariff evasion.

Los Angeles is one of the most bland and character-less cities I have ever been in. It doesn't even have a famous street or section of town, all the known places are different towns like Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
There's no distinct architecture. Even the Hollywood Boulevarde that Mann's Chinese Theater and the stars on the sidewalk "Walk of Fame" is on is pretty much generic town except for one side of the street, and only the sidewalk. The city has this reputation of being a sunny, beachy, cool place with hot people and its way inland and has nothing cool about it. Lots of pretty girls, though.

How a riot persists - it's NOT just that the rioters are not physically confronted.
It's that they don't get tired. because they are being organized and supplied with food and water. Part of a riot is wearing out the other side. You'll never arrest everyone, but if you can tire them out and demoralize them, they go home. That is what the tear gas is about. Gas masks, ear plugs, water bottles - these are elements of warfare, in that they prolong the violence. You need to focus on THAT. Don't just confront the rioter up front but find the vans supplying all the gear and food and water. Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at June 10, 2025 04:52 PM (D1vbu) 79

Bass and Newsom are pretty much openly defying the FedGov.
I'd argue they are publicly on the edge of insurrection. Which is why Patel and Bondi better already be reading their comms. If they are coordinating with the rioters privately THAT is insurrection. Posted by: 18-1 at June 10, 2025 04:54 PM (t0Rmr) 89
Trump to Newsom: "Please give my compliments to my friends in your State and say to them, that if a single drop of blood shall be shed there in opposition to the laws of the United States, I will hang the first man I can lay my hand on engaged in such treasonable conduct, upon the first tree I can reach."

Gas masks, ear plugs, water bottles - these are elements of warfare, in that they prolong the violence. You need to focus on THAT. Don't just confront the rioter up front but find the vans supplying all the gear and food and water.

This pattern repeats every 4 years. Plus, Newsom has an approval rating of something like -27. Maybe he pulls off a 2nd or 3rd place in NH. Maybe. But that's after he comes 11th in South Carolina.

Riots, like war, can be fought the same way as war - attack the supply lines. Disrupt the logistics. How long in June do you think the rioter can fight without water?
The riots persist because they are being organized and supported. Forget the rioters, go after the organization and support network. Track people distributing water and food back to where they came from. Target and arrest people with back packs.

ICE might target the graduate ceremony of Santa Monica High School on Wednesday. Stephen Miller is a graduate of SAMO and hates the school and particularly the Latino Community there. ICE officers were seen circling the area today, assessing accessibility and security options. Vindictive prick. If you’re at risk of being picked up by ICE, I suggest laying low for a while. Maybe the school can arrange to have the ceremony broadcast over the internet. did Miller flunk Spanish or something? What the hell is wrong with this guy? And why are so many Republican males so deliberately ugly? I just can't. They are so evil. They want to destroy lives and hope and joy. They are killing everything that makes American life special.

Correct, it was basically "disperse or we open fire". They didn't like to open fire often (not so much out of humanitarian concerns as it was just a legal hassle, judges tended to side with the mob), but it was the warning. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 10, 2025 05:14 PM (e7kz6) 192

Back in the 1700's California experienced a 9.4 Earthquake that had a fault line nearly 700 mile long. It extends all the way up to British Columbia. If that happens again (some say it's overdue), there is a good chance that the flood plain will lower about 6 and a half feet flooding out a good portion of California coast line.

But why "French Laundry"? The French are best known for bakeries, rioting and smuggling heroin
Posted by: Kindltot at June 10, 2025 05:26 PM (D7oie) ----------------- The French Laundry is where people like Hunter Biden go to launder all of their French Connection money. Duh. Posted by: ShainS -- Has the Big Beautiful Breakup passed yet? at June 10, 2025 05:29 PM (1ooed) 256
I don't see how this could qualify as an insurrection when the federal government, via NGOs, is undoubtedly funding the violence.
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at June 10, 2025 05:12 PM (y+qgR) Most of the ACW's southern military and political leaders were funded by the US. Still an insurrection. Posted by: Oldcat at June 10, 2025 05:29 PM (8avO+) 257

REAKING: Democrat rioters are shooting at the police in broad daylight. They are literally trying to murder law enforcement. https://x.com/VoteHarrisOut/status/ 1932536836867440797 Posted by: Don Black ================== Wait, they're still at Dale's Donuts?

As a tool to restore electoral viability to the Dems, the riots don't make sense. Honestly, the most plausible explanation is that they are a manifestation of the left's mental health crisis.
The supporters of the protests are a motley (no relation to Mike) crew. One is The National Action Network (NAN): "a civil rights organization founded by Reverend Al Sharpton, is funded by a variety of sources, including corporations, unions, and individual donors. NAN has historically received funding from major corporations such as AT&T, Viacom, Walmart, Comcast, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola, among others. Additionally, unions like the American Federation of Teachers and the Service Employees International Union have also supported NAN financially. NAN also receives funding from individual donations, with some prominent philanthropists like Robert F. Smith being long-term supporters." Posted by: Oglebay at June 10, 2025 05:29 PM (MMp6W) 260

It's not insurrection. It may be the exuberance of the moment.

I don't know if allowing rioting is insurrection.
--- What's the difference between ordering a state militia to attack a federal facility and permitting an informal state militia to attack a federal facility? BTW, I like the recent federal clown judge ruling that Trump can't use the AEA to deport. Which is basically "it can't be an invasion because there must be a declared invasion." Who declares an invasion? "Well, the President except I find that he must delineate a long list facts to support his declaration that is all-but a declaration of war." Is that in the statute? "Well, no but that's not the point. I am the law!" He's basically saying Congress must declare a war, after response to an actual physical invasion by troops lead by the leader of another country, before the AEA can be invoked.

I got to go to Neijemagen Holland for the celebration of the Market Garden Allied campaign when I was stationed in germany with the Army. We had to eat in the french mess hall the first night we got there and it was disgusting. I walked up got my tray and stood in line. The first guy plopped down a big chunk of black bread on my tray. The second guy poured a big ladle of purple yogurt over the bread and that was it. I tossed everything in the trash and went and got a c ration.

One of the Cali Riots funders is the State of California
"CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles) is funded through a combination of sources, including government grants, individual donations, and foundation support. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights website indicates that they are a nonprofit organization that relies heavily on individual donations to get their work done. They also receive a significant amount of funding from government grants, particularly from the state of California, with over $34 million in grants in the fiscal year ending June 2023."

lefties are ordering full-face masks so that their street paramilitaries can fight the police even after tear gas has been deployed.
… that should be comical. There is no filter or simple large particle filters on the $60 mask, which won’t be of much use against most gases. Posted by: SMOD at June 10, 2025 05:35 PM (RHGPo) 276

Christ himself said that he did not know the date of the End Times, but he did say that he could tell us the season: The generation that is alive when Israel was re-established would not pass from the Earth before the End Times occurred. Israel was re-established in April 1948. I was about two weeks old when that happened. At 77 I'm one of the youngest of the generation of the Fig Tree. Almost certainly the End Times will occur this century. Let me point out that the next decade will be 2,000 years since the Crucifiction.
