Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (3/13/24) In-Box Edition
.jpg)
Quote I “I’ll keep my promise to veto any bill making Wisconsin less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming for LGBTQ people and kids—including this one. And I’ll be damn proud to do it.” WI Gov. Tony Evers
And if your real daughter sustains injuries from a mentally ill male, tough fucking titties.
Quote II “By removing me from the court, my share of the decision that would support patents or other areas of intellectual property, trade secrets or copyright or trademarks, whatever comes before us, is eliminated,” The nation’s oldest federal judge, Pauline Newman
Quote III “My decision comes as other music services, Apple, Amazon, Qobuz, Tidal, all high res, have started serving the same disinformation podcast I had opposed at Spotify. “Because I cannot leave all those services like I did Spotify, because my music would have no streaming outlet to music lovers at all, I have returned.” Neil Young.
Well, I'm happy he is going back to Spotify. Hopefully Nils Lofgren follows Young's lead.
Quote IV “...like any enterprise, we reserve the right to make decisions about our business partnerships, and after careful consideration, X decided not to enter into a commercial partnership with the show.” Elon Musk
The black hole obtains another black hole.
Some good news for President Trump.
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that Fulton County, GA Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissing multiple charges in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election racketeering case is “embarrassing” for Fulton County, GA District Attorney Fani Willis and her team. Honig said, “I don’t think this ruling changes the type of evidence that the DA’s going to be able to introduce, but it does knock out some of the charges and look, it’s embarrassing for prosecutors. It’s a screwup by prosecutors when you bring a charge and then a judge throws it out before it even goes to trial.
It looks like Jason Beck, Associate Director, Total Force Requirements and Sourcing Policy office of the Secretary of Defense will be a Commandant at a new Stalag camp for Morons.
Clown World Pentagon
James O’Keefe went undercover and spoke with Jason Beck, Associate Director, Total Force Requirements and Sourcing Policy office of the Secretary of Defense. Beck told O’Keefe that the only ones who should have guns are government employees. He wants the Supreme Court packed so they can’t stop legislation he wants to see as a policy maker, such as abolishing the Second Amendment, abolishing the Senate, and instituting universal health care. He wants to use a politicized judicial system to take all of our freedoms away

Bidennomics, how's that working out?
DOLLAR Tree is set to shutter almost 1,000 stores after posting a quarterly loss on Wednesday. The budget retailer was forced to pay a charge of over $1 billion as a result of the closure plans in the form of a goodwill impairment charge.
Let's Go Brandon!!!
HSHS and Prevea Health, a physician network that offers primary and specialty care, said they’ve begun a thorough and organized process to safely wind down services and shift patient care to other providers. But Chippewa Falls resident Rick Flynn said he’s concerned that the remaining hospitals in Eau Claire are going to be overwhelmed trying to absorb all of the Chippewa Valley’s emergency services and day-to-day medical needs.
West Point Changes Mission Statement, Removing Values 'Duty, Honor, Country' In a move sure to worry many that the venerable two-century-old West Point is going woke, Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland announced Monday a change in the institution’s mission statement. The phrase “duty, honor, country” is out — exchanged for the more amorphous “Army values.” The United States Military Academy’s previous mission statement was: “To educate, train and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army.”
Clutch wanted to know if this was safe for The ONT. Well of course it is. Thanks Clutch.

Are you purchasing a commercially made smoker? No says tonight's Genius Award Winner.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - The Red Willow County Sheriff’s Office said Thatcher Skolout was critically injured in a explosion Monday. It happened at 5:15 p.m. about three to four miles south of McCook on Highway 83 near a home. Sheriff Kevin Darling said neighbors in the area reported the explosion, but couldn’t determine the exact source. Upon arrival, law enforcement discovered a propane tank exploded. Skolout was in the process of converting the tank into a smoker. Law enforcement said it appeared he took the precautions to use water inside the tank to displace the vapor but was apparently insufficient to displace all vapors. While attempting to cut the tank with a cutter torch, the vapors were ignited causing the explosion. He was wearing a respirator at the time and had taken other precautions as well.
Whatever happened to Serve & Protect mottos? Norwalk Connecticut's Police Department has issues.
A POLICE officer has been arrested following a road rage incident where he allegedly tried to run a woman off the road. David Vetare's arrest marks the third time that a cop from the Norwalk Police Department in Connecticut has been arrested in a month.
The following video was submitted to us by Blake, Moron in good standing.........

This is Dani Lalonders, a nonbinary game developer. She was hired by @CliffhangerDevs to create a game based on @Marvel's #BlackPanther.
She says she doesn’t hire white people because they’re unsafe and it’s hard to work with them and only hires people of color.

If you think TikTok should be allowed in the US because of "free speech," you are engaged in what I call "word-thinking" instead of the real kind of thinking.
Word-thinking is when you try to snap-to-grid to an existing definition (such as "free speech") instead of thinking about a question more usefully.
A more useful way to think about TikTok is to realize it is about free speech, yes, but it is also a weapon. If your analysis ends at saying TikTok is only one or the other -- free speech or a weapon -- you have not considered the whole.
If you see TikTok as both a free speech issue and also a tool China can (and probably does) use to decay the fabric of American society, the decision on how to act becomes trivially easy.
Posted by: andycanuck (2yu8s) at March 13, 2024 10:08 PM (2yu8s)
Word-thinking: Keep TikTok because it is "free speech"
Useful thinking: Ban TikTok because it is a dangerous brainwashing tool and an existential threat to America that also has a free speech element.
We don't tolerate Nazi protests and speech in America because of free speech. That's just the fairy tale we tell ourselves to feel good. We allow it because it is too small to be a threat.
TikTok is NOT too small to be a threat. It is becoming the operating system of young people's brains. And China controls the user interface.

1. After yesterday's cross-border raids, which resulted in having the troops and machinery involved wiped out, the Ukrainians decided to double down with some long range drone strikes into Russia. Most of the drones were shot down, the ones that got through did a limited amount of damage, and I'm sure the Russians weren't annoyed at all by these strikes on the sacred soil of the holy motherland.
2. One of the drone strikes was aimed towards a nuclear power plant. Uncool, man. Uncool.
3. Otherwise, the Ukrainians seem to have stabilized the front lines for the time being, by shoving men and equipment, that they can't afford to lose, into the grinder.

Oh, that brought back a memory. Several years ago I had a really miserable head cold. I took some kind of cold capsules. I still felt like sh*t so I took some syrupy thing, maybe Robitussin. And then I took something else, which I can't remember. What I do remember is laying on the couch thinking, "taking all that sh*t was not a good idea." It actually scared me a bit.

My late, beloved mother-in-law lived to be 96, which I thought was fairly remarkable in itself. Wouldn't have wanted her to actually judge anything her last ten years. If you are employed at your own business, it's one thing to go to work until you expire, but being a judge is a weighty responsibility. Can't imagine she could really be sharp enough to do an effective job.

I basically agree with this. We don't have to allow foreign owned businesses to operate in our country for any reason. That there is a speech component is irrelevant. The fact that it's a foreign owned company that is effectively controlled by the CCP is more than enough reason to ban it.
The current compromise at least allows Americans to invest in, control and benefit from it.

I often wonder if so many of our current social ills are the result from of parents failing to teach their kids the difference between fantasy and reality. Kids really need to have it drilled into their heads that the internet is no different than film or TV. It's all pretend. Even social media is basically just pretend.

EU (not a country, but they counted it)
France
India
Latvia
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Pakistan
Taiwan
UK
then: parts of the US: The U.S. at the start of March gave government agencies 30 days to delete TikTok from federal devices and systems over data security concerns. The ban applies only to government devices, though some U.S. lawmakers are advocating an outright ban. China lashed out at the U.S. for banning TikTok, describing the ban as an abuse of state power and suppressing firms from other countries. More than half of the 50 U.S. states also have banned the app from official devices, as have Congress and the U.S. armed forces.

Could be, there was a case before the Oregon Supreme court over whether the business name 88 Cent Store could be trademarked or not, it was noted in the brief that the name was actually descriptive and that mere terms out of the English language cannot be trademarked, though this decision appears to have been reversed.
Anyhow, the business has been closed so long there are no traces of "88 cent store" in the Oregon Secretary of State online records, that I can find. They were all franchised, though, so there may have been other names used.

I learned a little bit of the intense speech therapy they're doing with my mother today.
Imagine a drill instructor making you say the names of objects around you and in pictures. And doing that over and over again.
Also, the send her on "treasure hunts". Ok, find the "name of object". That object will be hidden somewhere in the room. She has to find it. IOW, say the name of thing verbally. She has to then understand that, then find the physical object.
When we got to her room this afternoon, she was sitting in her chair eating supper on her own. Using her right hand. It's still not 100%, but this is amazing.

A long, long time ago Neil was independent, quirky and talented. That ended quite a while ago, around the time he thought he was setting a practical example for the masses by spending a million dollars to pay a crew to make his Lincoln electric. He proceeded to become the worst sort of stereotype leftist. And from the YouTube clips I have seen, live he now sounds like an amateur Neil Young impersonator at the senior center.

I opened my Spotify account within a week of them launching their US service. A couple of years later I signed up for the premium service. I have a substantial person collection of music and when I compare it to Spotify I have two very different experience.
My personal collection is my brain on music. Spotify started out as something very different and it's still very different. Remarkably they've had both landed in the same place but bigger ahead of times more challenging. I really like Spotify and I'm going to stick with them for the rest of my life.

I think the Sun is undergoing a flip right now.
Anyway, you can look this is up and see simulations of the flipping process. During the transition you'll see the field weaken and go crazy a bit.

For Linux to Linux network sharing, it's best to just use Linux (UNIX) native NFS. You'll have to set users and permissions, but once you get it going, it works fine.
No need to mess with Samba, unless you want to throw Windows in the mix.

I agree, Layla's beginning is great and then it becomes a different song, quite pitiful actually. I think Clapton wrote that referring to George Harrison's wife who he coveted.

The piano section at the end, is GREAT, in and unto itself.
Edit it from the original tracks, give it the right lyrics, record it as it's own "sad ballad".
It would have sold millions.

His most famous song so it got lots and lots of airplay. It's easy to get tired of the same song over and over. He had some gems though. I like Otis Redding.

Yep. Everybody remembers the great opening riff which so ultimately disappoints thanks to an ending everybody somehow forgets due to some mass psychosis voodoo. I hated all the songs I've mentioned when they came out, not just later. I took flak for daring to criticize Eric the Great. So many people didn't like 'Angie' I guess it only became popular because of the band. Holy Gaia, I hope that's the reason. Anyway, 'Hey, Jude' has the same problem as 'Layla', just without the cool opening riff. For me, popular only because of the band, not the song itself.
Because all became popular and heard far too often for civilized ears, I hate them.

The record was released after his untimely death. Damn shame. Otis Redding was going to be huge - Ray Charles and James Brown huge. The song was a breakout hit that quickly became a requiem, which accounted for much of its airplay that year..

It is a DELIGHT! You'll never quite look at any other burgers the same way again, and that's meant in a good way. Some of you may have heard of them, but if not, google Corinth MS Slug Burger Festival. By way of dispelling fears, rest assured that the "slug" in question does not belong to the land molluscs, cousins of the snail and they play zero part in the cooking or comsumption of Slug Burger enjoyers.

In Venice, CA, in 2014, I saw a aging hippie on a street corner with a sign, "SPACESHIP BROKEN, PLEASE HELP." If he'd been on my side of the street, and if I could have pulled over safely (man, what traffic!), I'd have given him some dough.
Dollar Tree has already become Dollar Twenty-Five Tree, and they sell a few $3, $4, and $5 items like Red Baron pizzas. It's no longer true that everything is the same price. Even so, it's my go-to for paper towels and toilet tissue, cleaning products, certain toothpastes and drug things like aspirin, etc. I'd hate if some of the stores in my area shuttered.

Hello, JQ,
Well, it is with the help of melatonin, magnesium, chamomile, and valerian root. The big assist, I think, is that "hydraulic pressure," as one of our commenters puts it, is no longer quite as much of an issue. And if I don't stir, get up and come back to bed, big black Stirling does not try to keep me awake, either. I like him to sleep with me; I don't want him leaping on me, poking with a paw at my face, etc.
