Monday Overnight Open Thread (1/1/24) Happy New Year Edition
Quote I “I’m always finding homeless stray animals. So it was typical for me,” Elizabeth Merriken
Quote II "You don’t think of medical professionals doing this, but 10% of medical professionals divert drugs. 10%… That’s a lot." Dr. Robin Miller

Not your typical motorcycle accident fatality.
Police in Kenya have recovered the body of a man believed to have been attacked by a lion while he was riding a motorcycle near a national reserve in the south of the country. Officers were notified by community members of an abandoned motorcycle along a road near the Marere forested area near the Shimba Hills National Reserve in Kwale.

Feel free to make a buck or two off of Mickey Mouse.
It’s finally happened: after nearly a century, Mickey Mouse has slipped off Disney’s copyright leash. The first versions of the iconic cartoon character, seen in Steamboat Willie and a silent version of Plane Crazy, enter the public domain in the US on January 1st, 2024. (An early version of Minnie Mouse is also fortunately included.) There’s still a complicated mess of protections around Mickey, but today is a moment public domain advocates have awaited for decades — and there are plenty of other exciting new entries as well. Duke Law School’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain, as usual, has a roundup of prominent works whose copyright protections lapse in the US today. The list includes sound recordings from 1923 and works in other media that were published in 1928. Among other things, that covers:

That really is the question of the day, isn't it? Yes, you have some women athletes standing up, but it just doesn't seem like a whole lot of them, though. And non-athletes? Thanks to suburban liberal white women, this will only stop when their own daughters lose college athletic scholarships to a trans.
As a man, I'll be right there supporting women but this is a women's fight.

>>Now that version 1 of Mickey Mouse is in the public domain, the AI can generate pictures of Mickey, Minnie and Pete from 1928.
The copyright is for the Steamboat Willy Mickey Mouse, which was a black and white, pale imitation of the current Mickey Mouse.
I already see the AI is generating non-black and white renderings, with red colored pants and colored shoes.
Disney is going to sue the pants off of the people making these renderings as infringing.
They are going to argue that any depiction other than the exact steam boat willy representation is infringing and they will more than likely win.
Sucks, but that's the way that's going to go down.

Instapundit argued years ago the best thing a rich right winger could do is buy a couple of "women's magazines" and get all the leftwing crap out of them...and he wasn't wrong.
Instead we get Jonah Goldberg opining on whether a hot dog is a sandwich and Bill Kristol trying to get his hands on some new cabin boys.

I complained to Amazon and asked for a replacement part. But...the world doesn't do replacement parts any more so they sent me a new one. A whole new bike.
They asked me to return the original bike, but the packaging was cheap and there was no way I could get it back in. So...I told them I'd need a new box and...they said don't worry about it.
I felt kind of bad but then gave the bike with the crack to a friend. And as I suspect they couldn't have resold the bike it was probably for the best. But...what an odd odd world we live in right now.

Was reading about the average height of women around the world and obviously it has been increasing due to better nutrition.
Though in the US the height has gone DOWN. The article I was reading on it tried to blame it on rayciss and global warmination but then mentioned its because the millions of immigrants the US have take in are shorter then average.
The height of heritage American women has gone up like everywhere else...we've just been overwhelmed with invaders...

Well, those we are importing are lower IQ (imo) and they will vote for more free stuff. Will the below par American (lower than 100 IQ) be voting along with them, even though the masses of illegals will compete with them for jobs?
And besides IQ, how many illegals are cartel, or "cartel adjacent", meaning, attached to the cartels directly, or in debt to the cartels?
And how many want to become freedom loving (English speaking) Americans, instead of third worlders demanding their "fair share", even if they don't work (or even if they do)?

Any deviation from the explicit Steam Boat Willie renderings and depictions is going to be found to be infringing.
We will probably see lawsuits that hinge on the curvature and shape of Mickey's ears, length of tail, size of his nose, etc.

Sadly, even FM radio was being run by "program managers" by then, and they played that crap on an endless loop, it seemed.
NOW, decades later, I can appreciate it as music. But, then? It was an instant spin of the dial to something else... and the "other station" was likely playing Waterloo or such, at the same damn time.

He didn't have anything more to say than any of the other singer and artists of his day. But if you dug his sound and the way he said it, there was no one better."
Posted by: Thomas Bender
I wonder though, if his course sound was mostly "anti-establishment". And for Dylan days .. bad voice, "anti" message ... anything "opposite" became "cool". (rook down paradise, put up a parking lot ... because all advancement is destruction)
Being against "traditional culture" was so hip. How hard is it to tear down, rather than build up? idk if Dylan ever really went Christian, or really saw the errors of his earlier ways. Maybe.

We have about 70 inches so far. That's well above average for the last few years, but I remember snow like this in the 1960's so not unheard of. It got damned cold last week, like not above zero, which is a bit early. Usually don't get that until February, but who knows? Solar minimum seems to be working its magic.

Not so much. I mean, of course, please don't give your kid some gay white millennial fake-o "name." It's horrible. It's lamer than black people naming kids Ty,'rod or Donflavious.
But no matter what sissy name you give your fruity kid, he won't get his ass kicked, as in days of old, and become stronger for it.
I think one of the main reasons the monster babies have grown so bloody minded is that they've never received or thrown a solid punch. They have no context for violence outside of carefully constructed media products that glorify it without showing the consequences. You can see it in their dead little fearful eyes when you talk to them - even the middle aged monster babies. They've never experienced it.
Somewhere along the line, children quit fighting. It's weird and unnatural.

Understand, it is NOT Mickey (in any form) that went out of copyright. It is Steamboat Willie that went out of copyright. This means you can make all the copies you want of Steamboat Willie and sell them on eBay, or modify it without adding value (for derivative works) and sell it, and there's nothing they can do.
Mickey Mouse, himself, is a trademark and you can't make stuff with him in it or anything that might be confused for him. At least not without a license from Disney.

The Bendix Car was a one-off. Built, I think, to showcase their offerings to the auto industry. Kind of pretty, for a late 1930's design. It could be driven, AFAIK. Currently resides in the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana. Which is a fine museum, and worthy of a visit from any gearhead.

My older son was accepted into Notre Dame and he and I went to South Bend to look it over. While he was there I went to the Studebaker Museum. This was back in 2008. I don't remember the Bendix car -but I don't remember a lot of stuff nowadays.
He chose UNC-Chapel Hill and went straight thru to a PhD (Bio-Chemistry). Wife will never forgive him for not going to Notre Dame. It was pricey - but they brought our costs down to comparable to UC in-state.

I expect there is a limit to how light you can make a bullet, since air resistance is a function of the projectile's shape and cross-sectional area. Bullets too light will rapidly lose speed due to aerodynamic drag.

Do you think hookers ever need the help of sales consultants? I don't mean the "$20 bucks, same as downtown" ho, I mean the high priced call girls. Like what do they do when sales are down? Do they get an outsider that can construct a 12 point customer service and sales plan to boost flagging sales?
It might be the oldest profession but that shouldn't stop it from being among the savviest.

Thing is? you could say that about ANY group that is overplayed. I can't stand the Rolling Stones... why? Early 80's, Norfolk VA, they played in concert there, and ALL the F'N Rock stations did 'Stonetober'... where every other song, was a Stones song.

Books coming into public domain here in the US lag far behind books already in PD in British commonwealth and India. We’re all aware of that, too. I’ve scores and scores of those 7zipped on thumb drives.
The problem is finding titles of old niche books scanned into digital form - especially anti-marxist tracts.

Gloria Knowlan was 86 at the time of her death 12 years ago. A small quantity of ashes from her cremated body are to be in one of 250 memorial capsules set to be launched into space later this month..
Launch organizers are hoping the rocket carrying the capsules will wind up approximately 330 million kilometers (205 million miles) from Earth, roughly past the orbit of Mars.
The remains or DNA samples of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry, his wife, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, and Original Series stars Nichelle Nichols, DeForest Kelley and James Doohan also are expected to make the trip.
Their final journey will take place through American company Celestis Inc., which has offered what it calls “memorial space flights” for more than two decades.

The other really big thing is you don't have to keep refinishing carpet. You have to sand and re-seal hardwood every so often, and an generation of older folks who had those floors decided to carpet them over to eliminate that chore and receive the other advantages you list. That was when "wall-to-wall" became a thing, rather than various rugs placed all over a floor (which required being taken out and beaten every so often - a BIG chore).
Hardwood floors then weren't a symbol of prestige, they were just a laborious chore.

They said they had never gotten into the "Motorcycle thing" it wasn't big in Africa, too dangerous. I said "Bad Drivers?" they said noooo..."distances are really far there, wild open country, and anything smaller than a Land Rover looks like prey to the big cats and hyena, rhinos and elephants don't like the noises, and cape Buffalo REALLY don't, the whole herd will charge a motorcycle or pedestrian....when your bike breaks down(and eventually EVERY bike will break down), being on foot in that country is a death sentence, In a car/truck you at least have some shelter...and can carry enough guns and ammo to hold out until someone else drives by.
