Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (3/13/24) In-Box EditionQuote 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 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. 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 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.

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.

Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays
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.

Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays [cont.]
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.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine:
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.

Eau Claire, little town where my mother was born. Great Grandma had an old farmhouse from the 1880's 10 miles outside of town. I got to stay in it a weekend when I was 8; I treasure that because it was a house with no electricity, no running water, but it wasn't that big a deal and was still a very comfortable place to stay.

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.

Posted by: polynikes at March 13, 2024 10:54 PM (MNhXM) 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. Posted by: Robert at March 13, 2024 11:00 PM (7rJEu) 129

This is a meaningless shit show. The real action happens in November when Schiff, at worst, will make a stunning come from behind win when the last couple of votes are counted. Assigned by the CA courrts Posted by: Lost in Space at March 13, 2024 11:17 PM (hEGCj) 163
I'm so old I can remember a time when those associated with a teenager that obviously had issues would endeavor to get the kid useful assistance instead of just indulging and enhancing the neurosis. But, I guess that was back at the tail end of the great work to replace a functioning culture and identity with a slew of marketing slogans.

128...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.

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.

The Dollar General here serves a small town, so they can mark up basics like milk and have a relatively large grocery section, and a lot of basics. But a similar store in a larger city has to sell a lot of cheap crap, I'd guess. They can't charge an extra dollar for milk, or other basics available for less a couple blocks away.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 14, 2024 12:02 AM (tkR6S) 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. Posted by: Kindltot at March 14, 2024 12:07 AM (D7oie) 246

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.

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.

Also, machine B still throws errors trying to share the folder. Error 255. Just look it up, doooode. Ok, fine, well, that was supposed to be fixed in the patch from 2022. My version is from 2024. - Finally got machine A to see machine B, and sent the folder over to B. Error 255, but it's on the fucking drive of B - It's right the fuck there. Run the Update Manager, doooode. I did. No, bra, update the kernel. Ok. Error 255. Also, that folder's name has special characters and isn't recognized. It's literally ABCFolder.

I have a different take on "Layla".
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. Futility. Even the original sold millions. What's a Moron to DO? Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, Tx Posted by: Jim at March 14, 2024 01:46 AM (e6UQI) 348

Layla was indeed Patti Boyd, who at the time was Mrs. George Harrison. She was also the inspiration for Something. IIRC, Clapton wrote Wonderful Tonight after they were finally married. Story was the song came to him as he was waiting for her to get ready so they could go out and attend some shindig

Posted by: a dude in MI at March 14, 2024 01:40 AM (+I6Y 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. Posted by: RickZ at March 14, 2024 01:55 AM (emlEe) 354

Lunch counters at Woolworth's and Ben Franklin reminds me of a delicacy greatly enjoyed by the people of Northeast Mississippi up to this very day: the slug burger.
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.

Farmer - absolutely no slugs, whether of the ammunition or animal world. There's a dispute over where the term came from, but the one I always heard from the oldest locals swore that the patty was built up around a slug of beef, a round cut of hamburger meat that resembled the careflly milled metal slug that folks would use to get a soft drink can out of a machine, because the slug was the same diameter as the receptacles into which legitimate coins were dropped.
As for the burger itself, it actually debuted in the 1904 World's Fair, and members of NE Mississippi's Weeks family managed to work out the recipe and were able to use it to create a unique local dish that remains celebrated every day, Posted by: John Drake at March 14, 2024 02:51 AM (YlVKd) 375
And JQ, boiled peanuts in Cokes are appealing as well, but I've always favored opening a can of the roast peanuts and pouring them delicately into my Coke. The bubbles and the sweet savory scent, it all works together to make an enjoyable beverage far greater than its individual parts.

Or, if you're an au natural guy or gal, there's always the appealing Southern delicacy of the Honeysuckle. If you spot one in bloom down here, you can pinch off one of its blossoms and gently suck it - that will bring out a sweet nectar whose taste instantly reveals how Honeysuckle got its name. Looking for a snack? Locate one of our numerous Sweet Gum Trees and chop an axe into its trunk. Not like you're trying to cut the poor thing down, just gentle, firm chops. Two or three would be the most needed, Later that evening you can return (sometimes it takes another day for the process), and there's a sweet-smelling aromatic substance that's collected. It's instant chewing gum!
Old Santa Anna liked it so much that he dragged boxes of it with him to New York and everywhere else he lived during his time in exile from Mexican politics. Bonus! You can break a twig off the Sweet Gum tree and scrape the pith until it resembles a slight cosmetics brush - you've just made your self a sweetgum toothbrush. Mixed with baking soda and water, you can make sure that smile of yours looks as good as you want it. Posted by: John Drake at March 14, 2024 03:14 AM (YlVKd) 380

And yes, Snapdragons and Columbines are a treat as well! I was going from my frame of reference growing up in the hill country of the rural South, back when "rural" meant something, as opposed to today's "We're outside the suburbs and there's some greenery" take on rural. Honeysuckle was abundant everywhere, just like figs, crab apple trees, persimmons, and muscadines, and numerous others. But for snapdragon or columbine, you'd have to make a pilgrimage to the great metropolis that was Tupelo, or to the confusing high-rise wonder that was Memphis. And that didn't happen very often.

Irongrampa - the Honeydew melon is a work of art. I wish I'd had the opportunity to taste it earlier on in life; as it was, I didn't encounter any until my freshman year at college. NE Mississippi is the hill country of the state, serving effectively as the foothills of the Appalachians, and a lot of their culture and ways of thinking influenced the world I grew up in - a culture that was rather different from that of our Southern neighbors not so situated.

Jim, decomposed granite sounds like a brilliant idea. Our politicos never got around to trying that.

And yes, it does snow down in the 'Sip, especially in the more elevated regions that are part of the Appalachian System.

Love the guy with the sign about getting Biden's dad a condom. If I really saw such a sign, I'd give the guy money for creativity (and honesty).
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.
