Saturday Overnight Open Thread (5/25/24)
It's that time of year again............
Brotherly love leads to a Genius Award.
MAY 15--Add a soiled adult diaper to the long list of strange items used as weapons during alleged batteries in the Free State of Florida. After responding early yesterday to a reported domestic battery in St. Petersburg, cops gave this account of the alleged incident: “The defendant threw a diaper at the victim striking him in the center of his torso. The diaper contained urine and other feces.”
Genius Award Winner? Make that plural tonight Boys & Girls & Everything in-between.
Being laid up this weekend, I couldn't go see our local boat launches and watch first hand. Genius Awards............

The place was packed at the visitor center. We presume most went to the more well-known destinations. We've been many times before, so we opted for parts of the grounds that are less visited. Good choice. We had full sections to ourselves and went for long stretches without seeing another soul.
We appreciate being able to say thank you. We also appreciate the grounding, perspective, and humility re-set. Hard to complain about minor life inconveniences.

I hear you - I've had to do it in every home I owned. BUT - credit where it is due - here, I had occasion to get into one of the sub panels. When I took the cover off, I found an end of 12-2 labeled - "Spare circuit. Terminates in box in crawl space." This conductor was capped off and not connected to a CB.
I had to know. Went into the crawl space - there, I found the other end, in a metallic work box, labeled - "Spare circuit. Terminates in #2 Subpanel".
I almost cried with joy.

Reminds me of the time I was in Hong Kong on Stanley Island and I saw an orthodox Jew getting a smoke. Went over to him, wished him a "Shabbat Shalom" (it was Saturday there). He mumbled "Shabbat Shalom" back, put his cigarette out, and quickly walked away...
I realized later he wasn't supposed to light a cigarette on Shabbat (prohibition on kindling fire on Shabbat as that is work, so observant Jews don't even light an oven burner on Shabbat) and he must've thought he'd been caught. LOL

Looked it up once and it was quite legit. Even though that was in what's been called the "Buckle of the Bible Belt," none of the faculty or staff were able to see the humor in it. I always pictured a group of very earnest, bearded young men attentively listening to a presentation about 3-D printing and its application to barn-raising.

There are few moments in history where someone changes everything and none of them were without flaws. Trump is being persecuted for having the audacity to take one the most powerful forces on the planet, the US government.
It takes a lot of things to do that including fuck you money and an enormous ego. Trump has both. There is nobody else looking to take his place.
We aren't voting for a boyfriend. We are voting for a guy who will gladly walk into the arena and fight for us against communists who are trying to take over this country. Trump, like everyone who will vote for him, is flawed. I don't give a shit and I'm tired of hearing the But Trump bullshit.
Another 4 years of Biden will destroy this country. I will walk through fire to vote for Trump.

Tried paying online again early AM and my forced UPS account had the card info stored as my primary payment method properly but it still wouldn't accept payment.
Phoned a nearby UPS Store [after they didn't return the message I left on their answering machine last night] and was told I couldn't pay at a freaking UPS Store in person and would have to do it online.
Told my retailer about the 'not at home' lies and the driver confiding to me that they didn't have enough handheld card readers when my parcel was literally in his truck; and I didn't know if they'd be returning the items to him. He said let me see what I can do.
At around 2 PM a truck with a different driver than the one I'd talked to on Wed and Fri and with what looked like TWO scanners on his belt made the delivery; and the reader accepted my card even with tap, not requiring me to enter my PIN.

With that out of the way, what does Trump do against other Dems? Will the fallout from Biden's policies tar all Dems? Or will Trump soldier on, not giving a shit who he has to beat?
I think a lot of the smugness on the Dem side (calling constituents "clowns" for going to a Trump rally, e.g.) is due to the fact the word is out it won't be Biden as the nominee. They think his miserable approval ratings will be moot when he leaves. I don't think that's going to work. But who knows?

A pilot died on Saturday (May 25) following the crash of a Spitfire, the most famous British fighter aircraft of WWII and known for its role in the Battle of Britain, near RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, eastern England.
The tragic incident occurred during a Battle of Britain event at RAF Coningsby.
The aircraft, belonging to the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), was scheduled to participate in a flyover at 13:30 BST as part of the "Lanc, Tanks and Military Machines" event at the Lincolnshire Aviation Centre in East Kirkby.

Raises an interesting question of regional idiom - growing up in northeast Mississippi my father and other people of his age group, when talking about getting a driver's license, they would always call it "getting some license."
Much younger than 29 me would ask "shouldn't it be just getting a license?" and Dad would get irritated and say "Would you go to the store and get a molassee?" (in reference, of course, to getting some molasses). Being a respectful young'un, I would act as if that made sense.
Anybody else ever come across this particular type of phrase or was that just something that held sway in the foothills of the Appalachians?

I haven't heard that idiom. But it makes sense, a license (countable plastic card) gives you license (uncountable ephemeral concept) to drive.
"License to drive" versus Bond's "license to kill." I don't think he had a plastic card.

Well, given that, in another context, "license" implies a degree of moral laxity, "getting some license" could be grammatically correct. Maybe this was a play on words?

I've been psychologically tortured by my Canadian government for 4 years. And I've seen the evil. I'm getting hardened.
'The Poughkeepsie Tapes' was boring. Told in a documentary fashion with grainy video of him lightly abusing his victims. I hate moving video.

Explained that way, it does make sense. 007 is licensed to kill and one is licensed to drive. The big question, I guess, is why we went to the singular - we go get a hunting or fishing license, we train to earn a pilot's license, and so forth. There may be some evidence there of a attitudinal shift in reference to governmental authority there.

Couple of weeks back I rewatched Finding Nemo and so tonight I watched Finding Dory for the first time.
Pretty good. Not as good as the original, but I liked it. It felt like a side story with a lot of padding to get it to 90 minutes.
The ending was happy. If the movie had one major flaw it was that. It should have been a downer ending. So...do I gotta give spoiler alerts?...it's about Dory searching for her parents. Briefly it seems as though they're dead but SURPRISE! They're alive. I think dead parents would have worked better and given the film much needed pathos. But late era Pixar isn't going down that road anymore. Very unfortunate.
Still a pretty good movie. Introduced some fun characters and the post-credit scene was great.

Had not considered that angle - the phrase could have originated that way. Dad never seemed to see it as a pun or a similar contrivance, though, so it may have been something he picked up from the previous generation.
Weirdly enough, people of the same generation as my father in the Delta region of the state use a lot of terms that mystify me - one example being an older gentleman saying that he needed to get a "Brinnel cat" to take care of his "ground squirrels". There are also folks who call what you and I would term a Thrush a "Hamser." And dragon flies are called "Snake Doctors."

I drove THROUGH it. Not "theoretical", but actual.
Was on I-45 North, en route to Dallas, for the NRA Annual Meeting. Storm hit THAT BAD, from The Woodlands, through Conroe, and not really slacking off, till well inside the Huntsville City Limits.
Where, I stopped to "get outta the weather", and have a Long Lunch and let the rest of the storm pass and abate.
That Midnight Black Darkness you saw in that video. That was at about 3pm.
I got a pretty, partly cloudy, Blue Sky Sunset pic further up I-45, around Ennis, TX.
Made for some interesting, highly focused driving, there for about fifty, sixty miles or so.

This is true - reminds me of "Next of Kin," a Patrick Swayze film from 1989. Even though it's set in Chicago, Illinois, it's got Swayze as a hillbilly-turned-cop on the Chicago PD who specializes in dealing with hillbilly-related crime (hey, it was the Eighties, narratives were not the strong suit then) coming into Chicago from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
His hillbilly kin get caught up in a feud with the local Mafiosi and Swayze has to defuse the situation while trying to save his own relatives. Not an Oscar-worthy cinematic effort, but it does at least acknowledge how far the Appalachians stretch.

Pounding rain on the deck above is a trice, when you're warm, dry and snug belowdecks, in the berth and under the blankets.
Still, I'd set the alarm for every 2 hours, to check on the dock lines and adjacent boats.
Their owners might not have been so diligent in storm preps, and often weren't.

Double Cousins, where "my mom's sibling's kid" and "my dad's sibling's kid" are the same kid.
That happened in my grandparent's generation, so I have some "double second cousins" out there somewhere, probably.

Reminds me of the phrase "kissing cousins." The polite definition was somebody whose kinship was close enough that you could kiss them in greeting.
The impolite definition was someone whose kinship was distant enough that you could fool around together. Which is distressing, and icky as all Hell.

So, what would the cutoff be for being really weirded out about finding a link to your spouse like that?
Second cousins can marry in most jurisdictions, but I think I'd want to see a fourth cousin, at the closest.
That would put our common ancestor back in Europe, and I've got no idea who any of those people are. My family isn't much into genealogy.
As an upper limit, if your closest relatives are back 32 generations, you have statistically no genetic information in common, since dividing the human genome in half 32 times leaves you with less than one gene.

Everyone wants to sell whole sets and I don't need a whole set. Grobet INOX is getting good reviews, Rockwell 72, probably not a real professional's kit but good enough for me, and they sell individually. $20 for a three-square. That seems outrageous to me but I haven't bought a file in probably 30+ years, so...
eBay has used Grobet sets much cheaper but I'm not sure I want to buy used files. I have those now.

If that's in reference to the "32 generations with no common ancestors," it is almost literally impossible. Pure Icelander marrying a pure Maori, maybe.
There weren't 2^32 humans alive in that generation. For it to happen, you and your spouse would both have to be inbred several times over, much more recently.
And we all are quite inbred at that level, because I just said the world population was not 4 billion people, 32 generations ago. We didn't get there until about 1974.

In about 7 generations back, the probability of carrying any genes of those ancestors is less than 50%.
Seem to recall the Catholic church wanted what it considered at least 4 degrees of separation, that is: 1st cousins.
him->his father/mother, 1
his father/mother-> his/her grandparents, 2
his/her grandparents-> her mother/father, 3
her mother/father -> her, 4
The amount of separation has changed with time.

Sounds like that story on TV (real story) where the Mom put all 9 of her kids up for adoption, and most were too young to realize it. One of the older kids did know, and would make sure to ask anyone she was thinking of seeing if they were adopted. Well, one guy say, "No, I'm not adopted", but turned out his parents never told him, and it turned out he was indeed one of her brothers. As he put it, "We went further than I'm comfortable talking about"...

They have an incredibly complex and convoluted system of terms for every single relative imaginable going to at least five generations. Different terms for a 'cousin' for whether they are on the mother's side or the father's, grandparents have different titles, and on and on and on.

The file advertised on Amazon as being a Grobet was, in fact, a counterfeit! the title was misleading... To get a 'real' Grobet you have to go to their online store, and even then, it's apparently a crap shoot if it's a good one or not, as none of the ones you can easily buy are made in Switzerland.

Even defining one generation as 30 years, 32 generations is a period of about one thousand years, and it would be trivially easy to find two people with no common ancestors during that period. Endogamy within local areas and within specific population groups means that someone's # of ancestors x generations back does not resemble 2^x.

I suspect all this business is
1) An effort to avoid inbreeding, always a problem in isolated, mountain-type populations
2) My limitation is likely due to the old practice of my being somewhere in line to replace a deceased family member in a marriage
3) Various inheritances

Eastern European ancestry. I grew up in that culture. Both of my parents were first generation Americans, Dad was Slovak, Mom was Hungarian. My neighborhood was mostly made of that mix, with a few Ukrainian families as well. Much of the customs in Deer Hunter were very familiar to me and to my friends.
