| Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (6/7/23)![]() ![]() Well this certainly is an interesting law suit concentrating on unlawful searches. A Connecticut husband and wife claim in a lawsuit that a bear with a camera is violating their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. They want the state to stop it. Mark and Carol Brault allege that the state attached the camera to the bear that has gone onto their property and taken photos of the interior of their home in West Hartland. They maintain the wild animal’s actions amount to “warrantless photographic surveillance” of the interior of their home on their 114 acre property. As an iPhone user I'm pretty excited. 'What the duck' no more: Apple will stop autocorrecting your favorite swear word The ONT Is Always Looking Out For YouTM How to stop squirrels from moving into your house and burning it down Many people like having squirrels around to watch them scurry around in search of nuts and seeds. They are cute, fuzzy and at times comical. But when they find a way into your home, they become noisy, destructive pests. There is no avoiding squirrels in Maine. And according to a state wildlife expert, there is no other animal in the state that wants to destroy your home more than a squirrelDucking tree rats........ Will any of our frequent flyers use this?

"Today is June 6th. D-Day. One of the most singularly important moments of history. A moment that calls to mind every single thing that defined the past half of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century. "They were fighting for a set of values I would say to you are just as important today as they were then. They put their lives on the line to fight against fascism, tyranny, and misinformation, and the savage slaughter of innocent lives. "Make no mistake, just as that was a fight for the future as much as anything we have ever faced, what we are seeing now is the same. "What is also clear right now is we can also win this fight, but it requires the same level of innovation and mobilization that was required back then by those in the greatest generation.

Looks like Fen's running, and I have thoughts.
(1) Fen needs to demand actual operating capital from you unrepentant ne'er-do-wells, not just your prayers. Everybody here owes her for something. (2) I'm not volunteering for the task of trying to explaining to Fen what it is about her online presence that is the key to political conquest. I will watch others do this with glee. (3) This will likely end up like Ace's TV guest spots. There's no way she does this without attracting national press under her real name. IF that is her real name...

Just in case you were wondering what the WEF-types have planned for this summer:
A group of Nato countries may be willing to put troops on the ground in Ukraine if member states including the US do not provide tangible security guarantees to Kyiv at the alliance’s summit in Vilnius, the former Nato secretary general Anders Rasmussen has said. Rasmussen, who has been acting as official adviser to the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, on Ukraine’s place in a future European security architecture, has been touring Europe and Washington to gauge the shifting mood before the critical summit starts on 11 July.

More Rasmussen:
Rasmussen said: “If Nato cannot agree on a clear path forward for Ukraine, there is a clear possibility that some countries individually might take action. We know that Poland is very engaged in providing concrete assistance to Ukraine. And I wouldn’t exclude the possibility that Poland would engage even stronger in this context on a national basis and be followed by the Baltic states, maybe including the possibility of troops on the ground. “I think the Poles would seriously consider going in and assemble a coalition of the willing if Ukraine doesn’t get anything in Vilnius. We shouldn’t underestimate the Polish feelings, the Poles feel that for too long western Europe did not listen to their warnings against the true Russian mentality.” They want World War Three, and they aren't going to stop until they get World War Three.

OK but even people who work for a living (and are you implying people who don't drive trucks don't work??? ) aren't driving 200 miles with a loaded truck. I mean, that's a weird work schedule, no?
-- I figured the meaning was clear in context of the truck discussion. And 150-200 miles of driving each day is nothing, especially if you're performing a task and moving on.

Years back and for about ten years I would put about 120+m on my bicycle per week.
Dittos. Would bicycle commute to work in the Austin area. As long as one doesn't need to cross the river, it was pretty safe. Jollyville road has some ersatz bike lanes, but the people of Austin are loaded up on all sorts of psychotropics so it wasn't safe with cars veering all over the road - the drivers, high on anti-anxiety meds, didn't care if they ran over someone. It was actually safer riding on the access road to Research Blvd because the outside lane is so wide. In early 2000s, without the bicycle lanes people in Austin were FAR more courteous to cyclists, it seems as more lanes were put in, though it didn't increase the number of cyclists, the drivers seem to have a hatred for cyclists. It got to the point where I was shot at, and an off-duty copy was waving a gun at me as he tried to squeeze me to the curb at 0530 on a weekday. I'm glad I moved, I just don't trust the rednecks out in ETX to drive safe. Posted by: Reuben Hick at June 07, 2023 10:38 PM (YXHzG) 164

Traffic is insane. I used to work down by the Pennybacker bridge and go to what used to be Pure Austin Fitness to work-out and swim in the quarry before riding home. When departing and making that long treck up the hill on 360, I would advance faster than the cars sitting in traffic. What I didn't like are the clods that would spontaneously jump out from the stopped traffic lanes and drive down the shoulder and act all upset if I wasn't climbing at 30MPH.

Fenelon - I've been through Denver airport... nothing stands out as a memory. However I've had to drive down there numerous times to pick up and drop off... the traffic is unlike anythi.g I've seen. And it's not just that the road is crowded - that I can deal with. There are so many people just pulled over to the side of the road, waiting, that the cops regularly have to make the rounds and roust them. The layout, for drivers, is very confusing, especially when dodging parked cars in the middle of the road. And all of this is happening at 1 in the morning.
It's crazy. I have to go there next week and I'm dreading it. Posted by: 496 at June 07, 2023 10:52 PM (/rK9l) 217

I tried taking a book into a machine once while they were imaging my knee, but every time I tried turning a page while barely moving, they'd yell at me to hold still. Finally I shut my eyes and drifted off. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at June 07, 2023 11:01 PM (lCaJd) 239
MRI = nightmare for me. Helluva way to find out you're pretty claustrophobic.
Posted by: ghost of hallelujah It's more fun when you wheel your patient to the CT or MRI area on a gurney, get back and start working with your other patients and get a call that the patient can't handle the machine. You then have to contact the provider and get a dose of sedative prescribed to calm the patient when he goes the next time. Oh, and the CT or MRI areas are busy so you have to reschedule... which can take overnight. Posted by: AZ deplorable moron at June 07, 2023 11:02 PM (+Td+Z) 240

My standard procedure on transcontinental flights is to have two glasses of wine fairly soon after takeoff, and a third glass of wine mid-flight.
On a Delta Airlines Atlanta → Dubai non-stop, this little dude who weighed maybe 80# had the window on a wide-body steerage class flight, he must have taken a full horse tranquilizer because he was out for the entire trip.

Posted by: Mr Aspirin Factory You haven't been on a plane for a long enough time (Well, maybe you have, what do I know). I flew from Chicago to Hong Kong once (over the North Pole, Great Circle Route), and it was 15 hours in the air. Watched a couple of movies, read a book, slept, walked around, had a couple of meals. Overnight flights to Europe, slept and dozed (they make the plane dark). Took a Redeye from LA to Houston (left LA around 12:30 AM) and slept a few hours, because I was just bushed. It was the connecting flight from Shanghai to LA, to get home, flying out of Houston the next morning to get back to Columbus.

Contributing to the collapse was the inadequate peer review performed by Louis Berger, which failed to detect the calculation errors in the bridge design.

The part about the whole J6 being a 'threat to democracy' is bizarre. An alternate history has been written right before our eyes, and unfortunately believed by far too many, some idiots, some not, is this idea that many police died, up to 7 on that day. The corporate media propaganda machine worked overtime to get that narrative to become 'the official story'. The only person who died was a woman shot by a cop. She doesn't count 'cause the bitch deserved it, or so the thinking would go if her death was publicized. That J6 Committee really did a number on this Country going so far as to doctor the silent camera footage. Like Harry Reid famously said when asked about his lies about Mitt Romney in the '12 election: "It worked, didn't it?" J6 is the exact same situation: They lied and it worked. The narrative has become so ingrained I don't know if showing the unedited footage on C-SPAN would convince people some of their elected leaders (hint: Dems and RINOs) lied their collective asses off.
No wonder the schools will not teach life lessons like understanding propaganda techniques, instead using those techniques to their lefty agenda advantage with their young charges. Posted by: RickZ at June 08, 2023 12:31 AM (emlEe) 367

“I suspect the public is being primed for some sort of announcement of ‘contact with alien intelligence’. This ‘alien intelligence’ will actually be human and terrestrial in origin, but TPTB will pretend they’re talking to space aliens and the space aliens have told us they won’t let humanity join ‘the brotherhood of the cool species’ until we stop using fossil fuels, eating meat, owning property, etc. In other words they’re going to use these faux aliens as a pretext for more the people to hand more of their lives, liberties and property over to the Globalists.” Posted by: Taq, Rickrolled by Jesus at June 08, 2023 01:21 AM (iKBwy) 383

Morning, all! I'm up about 45 min. early for some reason. Part of it is that I kept dreaming about another ceiling leak in my apartment, plaster coming off, etc., along with other and milder nightmares. Then Stirling the Great Black Kitten jumped on me to nuzzle and knead.
Then I remembered I hadn't left the kittens any dry food overnight. Oops. It's remarkable, given what enthusiastic eaters they are, that they don't bother me when they're hungry. The late Marie-Antoinette would have been crying and squeaking an hour ago. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 08, 2023 03:15 AM (omVj0) 431

Originally we considered cake and cookie names since Mum is Biscuits. Haven't named them yet except possibly for the little black barrel Chunkers.
We are open to suggestions as we wait for them to get older so we can distinguish them and look for trends. Posted by: Ciampino -- My wife tripped while carrying a basket of ironed clothes.I watched it all unfold at June 08, 2023 *** I named Stirling after a pipe tobacco -- oddly, one I will probably never smoke, as it's rumored to be pretty strong stuff. Easier to tell people he's named for British race car driver Stirling Moss. Dagny's name was inspired partly by our own "dagny, first of her name" and partly by Ayn Rand's Dagny Taggart. Wolf was big and rangy and social, and wolves do come in black. Et cetera. There can be all sorts of inspirations for cat names, like a physical or personality trait. Anybody can name a black cat Shadow, or a black-and-white cat Oreo. It takes some imagination to go with "Wolf" and "Hydrox."

My happiness is often accompanied by a chunk of time called sleep. Forced sleeping hours are wrong. I'm never sure if I should be alarmed that I sleep when I sense I'm shutting down. Then 2 or 5 or 4 hours later, sometimes prompted by tv noise known at a particular time, other times just, upon waking, the realization of time well spent -- sleeping. Do not make covfefe right away!
Do not go on a Jeff Beck OMG rant either. Thanks to FOB for this. Why? Catchy tune. Special guest star? The ancient Gretsch kit. That's a 14x26. Mistake made, but not really, with my Ludwigs. 16x24 which represent the last two feet before gravity wins whereas a proper 14x26 is the cellar which is concrete and sudden. My choices were later matched by 4 '2 over' toms so all in all a good choice was had by all. Anywho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzddyeXvbSE And always this beautiful crazy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiFcxilb30A Bill Murray having his cake and the eat is fun. In two separate tabs... Try firing these two first the one then the second at just about the time it takes to click for the cacophony. Also and long gone from yt for obvious reasons is something that the Tubes did.

"Ford F-150 Lightning loses about a quarter of its range when carrying maximum payload."
Well, of course it does. A gasoline-powered F150 also loses about a quarter of its range when carrying maximum payload. Energy is the ability to do work. More work = more energy expended. Not complicated. Posted by: RichieC at June 08, 2023 07:26 AM (DxBF0) Processing 0.05, elapsed 0.0616 seconds. |
