Sunday Overnight Open Thread (5/26/24)
I wonder if CBD feels put out that KT & I are zeroing in on the food thread.
Well, it's Memorial Day Weekend, and your last Saturday ONT featured Beef Fizz, which only Muldoon seemed to find attractive. Anyway, this started a discussion of corporate recipes, including Green Jello Salad, sometimes including cottage cheese. I actually invented one such recipe to substitute for one containing mayonnaise, evaporated milk and more walnuts than you would expect, when my FIL was in a rehab center and was being really grumpy about eating. It only has 3 or 4 ingredients, plus water, so I could calculate the nutrition profile for the rehab center dieticians, who are already familiar with Jello and cottage cheese. People seem to like it with sour cream on top. Not keto, but contains more protein than most desserts and it is gluten-free. It might keep your diabetic Aunt Meg from pigging out on the triple fudge cake. Enjoy. KT
Lotsa Cottage Cheese and Pineapple Green Jello Salad(Update from KT: I took out the duplicate recipe that I sent to Mis. Hum. It's the same recipe, just formatted differently. The corporate food recipe above is really better with both lemon and lime Jello.)
Below, directions using sugar-free Jello, but you can use either kind. 1 package each (2 cup size) lemon and lime Jello sugar-free gelatin
OR 1 package (4 cup size) lime Jello sugar-free gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
20-oz. can good quality crushed pineapple in juice
Juice drained from pineapple plus water to make 1 cup
1/2 cup cold water (may include 2 or 3 ice cubes and/or 1 or 2 tablespoons lemon juice)
Two 16 oz. cartons cottage cheese, regular or low-fat Directions:
Drain pineapple well in a sieve or colander, reserving juice. Chill pineapple while preparing the Jello mixture.
Also chill the dish(es) in which you will chill the salad. A standard 2-quart 8 x 8 baking dish will be filled to the top. A 9 x 13-inch dish produces a rather flat salad. This recipe is easy to double, so you could make a 9 x 13 dish to take to a buffet and an 8 x 8 dish for home, or a 10 x 15 dish for the buffet and individual dishes for home. - Sprinkle sugar-free Jello powder slowly and evenly over 1/2 cup cold water in a 3-quart stainless steel bowl, tilt bowl to wet any dry powder near the edges of the water. Allow it to soften for at least 5 minutes. (I like to soften sugar-free Jello in cold water before dissolving because the sweetener in it, Aspartame, is degraded by heat.) - While the gelatin softens, add water to pineapple juice to make 1 cup. Bring juice and water to boil, pour over softened gelatin and stir to dissolve completely. Add 1/2 cup cold water (or water and ice to speed cooling). Note: If you use Jello with sugar, you may need to use all hot liquid to completely dissolve the gelatin. Place the bottom of the stainless-steel bowl with dissolved gelatin in a pan of cold water to cool. - Meanwhile, process 1 pound (one pint, 2 cups) of cold cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until smooth on the tongue. Have the cold processed cottage cheese ready to add quickly to the thickened gelatin. - Cool gelatin to about room temperature over cold water, stirring occasionally. Add some ice to the cold water in the pan under the bowl, stirring the gelatin slowly but constantly with a wire whisk after adding ice to the pan below. It should not take long to thicken. Gelatin should be just a little thicker than egg white. Do not allow it to gel completely. (If it thickens too much, put it over warm water and whisk with a wire whisk, then place over cold water again and stir for a few minutes to get the right consistency.) Gelatin a little thicker than egg white will produce a uniform, fluffy product. - Immediately whisk the cold processed cottage cheese into the thickened gelatin until well-blended. Quickly fold in cold, drained pineapple and the remaining pint of cold cottage cheese (not processed). Pour into your serving dish(es). Cover and chill until firm. Keep refrigerated. Can be made the day before serving. "Frost" the top with sour cream or garnish individual servings as desired as a dessert or salad. Or serve it as an accompaniment to Waldorf salad.
But why Mis. Hum? ...........Because.

CAMPBELL, Calif. - A 25-year-old Campbell man was arrested on two counts of elder abuse for incidents that happened this month, police say. On May 4, Nicholas Hosteter allegedly punched a man in the stomach on San Tomas Aquino Road. He quickly took off, but then paused for a casual photo taken by his victim. In the photo, he's seen wearing headphones and a blue sweater. He continued to run away, leading Campbell police to put out an alert where they sought his identity

Trump knew he was going into a tough room, stayed on message and gave both some serious concessions and some serious burns, while the LP delegates were incredibly worked up with both serious boos and serious cheers
RFK Jr gave an academic lecture on the constitution, vague promises, and got golf-claps for the most part.
I figure Trump is going to peel off more LP and LP adjacent voters than JFK Jr will, but RFK Jr is going to get the intellectual core people,

There are out loud and proud yahoos in the LP, but there are also those LP equivalent to the Trotskyites who sat around and argued over doctrine in the sixties.
These are the ones that are concerned, deeply concerned about homesteading rights as they apply to outer-space, and have serious opinions about other meaningful things they have no ability to effect beyond writing a white paper.

Not really, they had a bunch of nobodies before Obama, and they had the radical democrats who wanted their own skinsuit running it during and after Obama. I am waiting to see what happens with the new management, though some of those are splintering over Israel.
I swear to God the Mises Institute people are starting to cancel their own people who disagree with them over Israel, and their arguments sound like the arguments of why it was OK to cancel and divest from South Africa, which seemed to boil down to "they are white, so they should know better than to have done what they have done"

Libertarians believe that Man is "perfectible" if only govt. would leave him alone and let him deal with his neighbors as an unfettered, Free Man.
Commies believe that Man is "perfectible", if only govt. gets involved and controls every aspect of the man's life, from birth, education, employment, reading, thought, word and deed.
Where are they both wrong?
That Man is in any way "perfectible", other than Salvation though renewal in Christ.
Libertarians' religion is Humanism. Commies' religion is Atheism. Both, of course, are, and shall forever remain, incorrect.
Our Founding Fathers, even the not particularly "religious" ones, understood this, and leaned heavily ON religion, specifically Christianity with it'd Jewish roots and precepts, in their understanding of Man, his frailties and vanities and weaknesses, and designed the most perfect system of checks and balances to protect We the People from Them the Government, ever set down on parchment.
They only want us to think that they're the majority. They're not, they're wrong, and they lie.

smith was going to be the candidate, which would have been useless since he has no organization of his own, Rechtenwald is a defrocked full professor, and the only other candidate who has any real background is one who was an economist for the Fed Gov and later a cop in Broward Co Florida and I can't remember the name, so I tend to agree with you about the party organization failures.
They are better than they were, and I would suspect the path from useless to maybe good will pass through "not good enough".

However, I think the term you are searching for is "spontaneous order" and there is a lot of writing about it by fairly serious people, not stupid dreamers who think the world is not filled with bears and starvation, and also don't believe that people can learn to not be people if they apply themselves. Posted by: Kindltot at May 26, 2024 11:01 PM (D7oie)
That's an argument that resides on the edge of that coin, and it's disingenuous, as follows:
1. Spontaneous Order REQUIRES folks from the right side of the I.Q. and Self Discipline spread, in order to work. Community of ex .mil? Spontaneous Order, yeah.
2. Folks from the Low Q., Tribalism and Feral Survivalism "other end" of the Self Discipline spread, will DESTROY those in the Spontaneous Order Camp, every time.
3. We USED to keep #2 out, by means of strong, effective borders and immigration enforcement. Abandoning those, FJB has made the fight, not an "if", but a "when".

29 yrs ago while living there the age of consent in Hawaii was 14, no conditions free for all. Because those asian girls mature so fast...

there are pedophiles everywhere, and some of them belong to other parties too. And some to no party either.
The best you are going to get out of the LP nowadays is a declaration that such laws are better handled at a local level
You can shout "nasty nasty nasty" all you want, but if you want to pretend to do some good in the world you can volunteer at one of your state's child advocacy centers, and maybe you too can both get to read child abuse reports and then watch families act like they won the lotto when the state awards survivor of abuse benefits to the kids' families.

Yep, La Llorona is definitely a dangerous spirit with a tie to bodies of water, but what she does varies according to different regions of Mexico, Central, and South America. The most common account is that she drowned her own children to win the heart of a callous man who didn't want to be saddled with kids, and she is doomed to wander for eternity sobbing and searching for her lost little ones.
It's sometimes said that just hearing her wails means death and disaster, while others have her dragging the unwary to a watery death, after the mode of sirens.

Decent functioning spontaneous order requires some background in how a group gets along, and either a commitment to some sort of fairness, or working out some sort of way to correct individuals that decide to steal
The difference between a tiny village in Papua New Guinea and the Apple corporation is the cultural tools used to get groups of people to work for a common goal as a way to satisfy their needs, not that one group has no masters, and the other has masters all over the place on their necks all the time

And most often, those conflicts were decided long ago, by bloodshed and mortal combat.
Just 'cause the Tropic Islanders may seem all Tahitian and mellow now, doesn't mean that their history was any different from the mean of Human History as a whole.
IOW, they fought their way to Pacifism, and won. And they'll enforce that Pacifism with extreme prejudice, too, if required.
Just ask any cruising sailor who has tried to stay longer than a mere reprovision in a Tahitian port, sans the correct Visa, paperwork, and proof of self-sufficient funds as verified by their bank in any given nation.
Tahiti's Coast Guard WILL tow that sailor aboard his boat, out to sea, and give him his new course heading, with orders to never return.

The Catholics adopted a lot of pagan ideals and myths to incorporate into Christianity because stories are how we understand the world. La Llorona sounds like an intersection of a banshee and a water horse from the Celts, but I think it is more of a fear of the dark and why you should stay in with your folks during the night and not wander.
I am fascinated by old stories, the intersection between European, Indian and Asian stories is amazing. The researchers thing Red Riding Hood / Tiger Grandma are ancient stories, but personally I think Rapunzel is even older

Yep. Which is a mechanism to get rid of freeloaders.
Spontaneous order isn't nice, it is merely what happens.
If there is an attempt to change it for something the power brokers like better, well, there better be a lot of power at hand, and a lot of unintended things are going to happen since things are being done out of order.
Look, have you ever tried to get a Mexican construction crew to do something they didn't want to do? In my experience they all agree, and are plenty nice, and then it doesn't happen, and it either goes they way they want, or negotiated, or things get explained better

There does seem to be some definite overlaps. Indo-European origins could account for some of that, but it doesn't account for those myths and folktales outside of that ethno-linguistic grouping - like the universality of accounts of a great world-altering flood that is survived only by a fortunate few. Alan Dundes did some great work on possible origins of folklore well-worth reading, although Jan Brunvand has severely critiqued his methodology.

What's the story behind that one, Tom? While it's not the same fairy tale, I've come across studies suggesting that the Pied Piper of Hamelin might reference the Children's Crusade, or perhaps a migration of young Saxon people to present-day Romania, and possible real-life events incorporated into Bluebeard, but would love to hear about the Beauty and the Beast backstory.

But the Chrysler Imperial was the Lord of Excess in it's time. The specs didn't list "curb weight", but instead, it's Displacement in Tonnage.
You took the Society Matron out to the Opera in the Cadillac. You took the Hollywood Starlet to the Premiere in the Lincoln.
You took your Secretary to the Poconos in the Chrysler.

Had not considered that, but a definite possibility there. Ambras Castle at Innsbruck has a "Chamber of Curiosities" dating back to the Sixteenth Century that is a collection of portraits of medical oddities, one of which is a painting of Petrus Gonsalvus and his family, all of whom had hypertrichosis. There's a portrait of old Vlad Tsepes there as well.

'82 Chebby Malibu sedan with the COPO (Police Interceptor) option. 350 c/u (hot) Z/28 Camaro Spec engine, vastly upgraded springs, shocks, bushings, sway bars, steering, cooling, wheels and tires.
And substantially lighter than it's 1977/78 COPO Nova progenitors.
That Malibu cop car was an absolute Slot Car to drive, and even the late '80s Caprice (Shamu) Police Interceptor, with it's MONSTER Corvette powertrain, could not hold a twisty road with it's decade older ancestor.

But, the only thing that Tex should see of them from here out, is CGI/AI video, of each kid being killed in the same manner he killed for Manson, and worse.
The CGI/AI of the kids being flayed, disemboweled, hanged, drawn, quartered.
And new variations on the cruelties played in his cell, each and every week, forever.

According to reaction videos of US animals/nature by non-US types, the opinion seems to be that our animals can kill us, too, even non-predator or non-venomous critters like elk and moose, even a decent-sized buck in rut. The alligators, though, get 'em every time, except those Aussies since salties are a helluva lot more deadly than alligators. As for snakes, they have two species of taipan and the eastern brown, more than equal to our four venomous snakes, and there's a few more Down Under I didn't list. That doesn't include insects, spiders and the like. So, yeah, a whole bunch of critters want to kill you Down Under.

My high school class keeps an active FB page to advertise for reunions (we are in the post-50th anniversary phase now) as well as to let us know the sad news about classmates who have moved on.
There was such a notice for Mary K the other day. She was someone with whom I had been in school since kindergarten. I knew her by sight, but I cannot recall ever having engaged in prolonged conversation with her. In high school, some form of cancer caused her to lose a leg and she walked with crutches clear up through our graduation ceremony.
Her life after high school sounded mundane, according to her obituary, until she came back home to care for her dying father. Then she blossomed, after a fashion. She became a favorite aunt for her siblings' children and in the best of ways -- taking them on excursions, and so forth. It was mentioned that she in effect raised two of her nieces or nephews as well as two of her grandnieces or grandnephews. She had an open and generous heart that belied the lifelong consequences of her having had cancer. She sounded extraordinary. I regret not knowing that she had lived in our hometown for at least two decades -- I would have liked to meet her again.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Somehow reminded of Rupert Brooke
"BLOW out, you bugles, over the rich Dead!
There’s none of these so lonely and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold."

Beautiful. Thank you for reminding us of this.
Now go to bed old man. You foul your pajamas. That's okay. I do too. Fortunately, I live next to the washing well.

Loons are in the eye of the beholder, probably.

Two things for today.
The first is a continuation of the Australia conversation. This is a what I would say is a very fine pro-military, not necessarily pro-war, song from Australia. Beccy Cole, from 2005, 'Poster Girl (Wrong Side of the World)'. I somehow heard it when it came out and I loved it, even bought it. To me it's very softly moving. And a beautiful voice.

This is a bit more lighthearted. When you watch this short 12-second video, you see just about everything for which the men we honor today have given everything. I'm not trying to be rudely humorous. But 12 seconds says a lot.
