Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - November 27, 2024 [TRex]Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. We are thankful for many things. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of an ONT (which is a synonym for happiness, right?). Always tastes great AND less filling: this is the Wednesday night ONT. May your cup runneth over...[S]ome [settlers] doe it not willingly and others not honestly. So they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery. At length, after much debate of things, the Governor (with the advice of the chiefest amongst them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves; in all other things to go on in the general way as before. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. [I]t made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression. Pamela Hayden, who has voiced iconic Simpsons characters including Milhouse and Jimbo Jones, is retiring from the show after 35 years. Hayden will voice her last episode (Treehouse of Horror Presents: Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes) on Sunday, November 24. In addition to Barts best friend Milhouse Van Houten and bully Jimbo Jones, over the years, Hayden has voiced secondary characters including Ned Flanders son Rod, Chief Wiggums wife and Ralph Wiggums mother Sarah and Lisa Simpsons friend Janey Powell. We play because our childhood friendships mean more to us than we can truly describe. We play so we have that special night to look forward to, where we can all be together to turn back the clock and be kids again. We play to keep up a special holiday tradition and to make certain we all find time to be with each other. We play because we realize how fortunate we are to have such close, long-lasting relationships -- and to make even more special memories. On Thursday, NBC will continue to honor Maddens legacy when it opens its broadcast before the nightcap between the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers. The two minute open features the original Madden Cruiser traveling from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, to Lambeau Field last week. It has remained in Green Bay and will also be featured during the game. The idea of bringing the bus out of retirement first came up during NBCs Sunday Night Football production meetings in early June. Madden donated the Madden Cruiser to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. The Hall was all in on the idea of the cruiser taking one final ride around the Midwest. It is a featured attraction during enshrinement week activities, but most of the year, it is stored in a warehouse in northeast Ohio. 2024: Peach and Blossom (from Minnesota) 2023: Liberty and Bell (from Minnesota) 2022: Chocolate and Chip (from North Carolina) 2021: Peanut Butter and Jelly (from Indiana) 2020: Corn and Cob (from Iowa) 2019: Bread and Butter (from North Carolina) 2018: Peas and Carrots (from South Dakota) 2017: Drumstick and Wishbone (from Minnesota) 2016: Tater and Tot (from Iowa) 2015: Abe and Honest (from California) Vatican to install a webcam at St. Peters tomb as part technological outreach for Holy Year Pope Francis will inaugurate a webcam on Dec. 2 to be installed beneath the main altar of St. Peters Basilica.

Airplane! was based on the 1957 movie Zero Hour. It mostly follows the same storyline but adds gags and jokes: This is a no Yoko zone. Hobby Thread? What Hobby Thread?

Interesting about Airplane! Checked, Dana Andrews had no war service, Sterling Hayden was a decorated operative for the OSS, mostly serving in the Balkans. He was also kind of a commie, but that wasn't so unusual back then. Though it makes his iconic Gen. Jack Ripper role in Doctor Strangelove more interesting.

Much to be thankful for. Among other things, I was at my favorite deli here this morning. Baked potato soup, yum..... I also ordered some sliced turkey, roast beef and cheese to take home. The owner came out, cut it himself and then, refused payment. It was a great gift and I'm grateful. I left $20.00 in the tip jar for the ladies who tolerate my presence.

The annoying thing about the Bombers logo and the Nuke in the background is the plane is a B-17. This was a mod to the Boeing company who built so many.
I remember seeing a thing on TV where some dude make a trip from Japan to talk to the students about their logo. I don't think it went well. Posted by: Diogenes The International Friendship Bell here in Oak Ridge, TN - manufactured and then given to the city by the Japanese, has the dates of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki cast into it (along with other symbols). I take it as: "We FA and then FO. So sorry." Posted by: Tonypete at November 27, 2024 11:18 PM (WXNFJ) 278
Yes.
But it's not the logo. Hence annoying. Posted by: Diogenes at November 27, 2024 11:14 PM (W/lyH) Could it be simply that the profile of the B17 looks better than the profile of the B29? Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 27, 2024 11:19 PM (WZmoj) 279

Posted by: Diogenes I think there was an effort to "sanitize" the original renaming from the Beavers to the Bombers. In the late '80s some people more to the west, probably, got uncomfortable with the original mushroom cloud mascot. So an old story about a B-17 that Hanford area workers helped finance after news about D-Day inspired a "pass-the -hat" campaign to donate money to finance one Boeing built bomber was grafted into the school's history. B-17 "Days Pay" is that "imposter. " Posted by: Rex B at November 27, 2024 11:27 PM (98TWg) 291

@CollinRugg NEW: Mormon soft-swinging lesbians start feuding on social media after regretting their actions that led to the destruction of their marriages with their husbands. These clowns won't drink coffee but will do this. Wild world we live in. One Mormon soft swinger has come forward and said she is "ashamed" of her actions with another Mormon couple that led to their divorce. The video stems from a May 2022 scandal where the TikTok group came forward and revealed that they were all having "soft swinging" parties with each other. The scandal blew up and led to several divorces. The moms say people shouldn't criticize them because "a lot of things happen in the church and a lot of sins are committed every single day." https://tinyurl.com/yuh462fv Posted by: Mister Ghost at November 28, 2024 12:11 AM (TGPs7) 353

In two months, Trump has to do something about this, These people are modern day savages, and until someone starts clamping the bracelets on them. This will not stop.

I’ve never seen zero hour, but I get 90% of the jokes from airplane. The key to understanding airplane is to have lived during that time. Zero hour is the set up but the jokes are about the early 1980s. And the biggest difference about the 80s and now is in the 80s we knew about cultural references from the 70s 60s etc. I don’t want to generalize, but you look at the recent generations and it is if the world began the day they were born. That was not the case with us and to me that is one of our most defining differences compared to later generations.

Yes, I agree. Criminals don't expect consequences anymore because there hasn't been consequences. It will be a necessary shock if behavior is going to change. I think it was in the book, One Second After, that capital punishment was put in place for looting and the first to loot was just a kid but the consequence had to be delivered or the community would fall apart.

The late defrost is the worst play, but you do what you have to do. There’s a reason frozen turkeys are basically worthless on Thanksgiving day or even the day before at the store.
So many ways to go with turkey, but the best is probably brining, but then you have to do the stuffing outside of the turkey. But you can put that thing in the brain for a couple days easy. I love that turkey is a common national culinary challenge and still it is so difficult to do right. There are actually people that think a dry turkey. It’s the norm and that’s why you have all the different sauces, etc.. In the end, it’s about tradition not really about how well prepared the food is. In many ways, that is a real cool thing about us. For sure, Thanksgiving is not a competition for most. Posted by: Quint at November 28, 2024 12:57 AM (ThESq) 425

Posted by: barbarausa -------- Ugh. Ice pick & cool, running water? No. Use BOILING water, right outta the tea kettle. Upend that bird in the sink, either neck or ass-up. Won't matter, either way. Keep pouring in the boiling water. Every time the kettle is ready again, flip the bird and pour off the now tepid water. Keep pouring the boiling water to it. In under an hour, you'll have defeated the ice block, and cleared the innards of the carcass. NOW return to your ordinary, slower thawing process, if you still have time. The MEAT will still be +90% frozen at this point, but at least the body cavity will be clear to let further thawing proceed.

I usually do the stand-it-up and run water thing Thanksgiving morning anyway, because I've had many a "fresh" turkey that was partially frozen, but this thing was beyond any frozen I've had.
Last year, frozen, asked the butcher how many days, he told me, it happened. This durn thing (now I know why it says "Do not open package until turkey is fully defrosted". I bet it's pretty impressive, and should probably include "open in sink") even says on the package that this poundage will thaw in fridge in 3-4 days for a 12-16 pounder. No. Hence my "I now hate pre-brined" fussing. Our local market has one of those discount/earn points cards, and you can save your points for a Thanksgiving turkey, an Easter ham, etc, and the selections have been good so far (even including kosher turkeys). this year has been so tough on so many, they ran out of the free/points selections a couple weeks ago, so this was an "all natural! no hormones or antibiotics! pre-brined!" substitution they provided. Next year if that is the selection again, I won't have to worry about the freezer being too small for a bird; I'll just throw that sucker in the fridge two weeks before I want it!

The cool thing about turkey is three parts cook at different times. The breast get done way before the thighs and the stuffing. It will always be a conundrum, and there are many options to go with with their positives and negatives. There is brining, Cooking the bird upside down half the time, Flat out, cutting off the breasts 30 minutes before you take out the rest of the bird. To be honest, most of them work particularly the last option, though you don’t get a beautiful bird that is browned. Most people are with family and if the sides are good and the turkeys OK, there are no concerns. But as a challenge, it is always interesting. People talk about deep fried birds, even today. My guess is in someways that is a fad And not the ultimate answer, but I would like to try one.

I will be alone again on Thanksgiving this year but I will have the Horde around to keep me company.
I'm sure I won't be the only one. So think of us folks out there that have proxy family and chat the place up a bit. Posted by: pawn at November 28, 2024 01:21 AM (QB+5g) 443

Northwest Pacific orcas have started wearing salmon hats again, bringing back a bizarre trend first described in the 1980s, researchers say. Last month, scientists and whale watchers spotted orcas (Orcinus orca) in South Puget Sound and off Point No Point in Washington State swimming with dead fish on their heads.

442, me too. There are many. I know to some it would be disaster to be alone on Thanksgiving, but I’ve experienced a different part of the world over the last many years and for many is the most normal thing ever.
I say to each there is a season, Everyone is going through their own thing at their own time. What is unusual to one person becomes normal to another, Because that is reality. I had so many great Thanksgiving before and expect many great ones in the future. Tomorrow, I will have my fun, watch football and eat well. I will also be out there hustling to make a few bucks from others tired of Thanksgiving dinner. You for sure, not alone in that many of the hoard will be alone on Thanksgiving. But we should all be thankful that Trump won and things are looking up. Where will I be next year? Where will any of us be? I personally am looking forward to tomorrow and I hope to make the best of it. Best wishes to you all the hoard who are alone and all the horde that are with family and friends.

Turkeys, are the reason I started roasting Cornish Hens instead, for Thanksgiving Dinner. Everybody got their very own birdy!
Lucky, this year a dear friend is cooking the dreaded turkey. I will assist, and bring side dishes, and help with cleanup after dinner. Hubby will... enjoy the meal and probably nap afterward. Hah! Then it's girl-talk time! Will be back for tomorrow ONT, though. No family around any more. Posted by: JQ at November 28, 2024 01:30 AM (YoCnN) 449
Spatchcock the turkey and cook the stuffing in a casserole dish.
The turkey has a better chance of being evenly done, and your guests will have a better chance of not getting food poisoning from lukewarm turkey juice-soaked bread. Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at November 28, 2024 01:30 AM (uRu1z) 450
I was joking, JQ--the whole "don't open till thawed" and the way it's behaving make me wonder if it would TAKE two weeks to thaw.
Anyway, victory! neck is out, and in crockpot. Cavity cleared of iceberg with steak knife that ultimately freed neck, and tomorrow it shall sit in the sink with water running through it to get the last. Never pre-brined again! Happy Thanksgiving, all! Posted by: barbarausa at November 28, 2024 01:32 AM (enw9G) 451
Stuffing/dressing on the side, FTW! It gets that lovely, crunchy crust on top, which doesn't happen inside the bird.
And who wants food poisoning, anyway? Posted by: JQ at November 28, 2024 01:34 AM (YoCnN) Posted by: JQ at November 28, 2024 01:35 AM (YoCnN) 453
I haven't put the stuffing inside in a few years, so no worries.
It will be cooked through, and won't be dry--butter under skin, wrapped in bacon, covered tight, and basted often. Posted by: barbarausa at November 28, 2024 01:35 AM (enw9G) 454
451, no doubt I love in the bird. It’s the best way to do it. And it is the difference between stuffing and dressing. But also, you are correct. Technically, the best way to do it is to brine the bird and make the stuffing outside. Add a lot of turkey broth for sure.
Like I said above, That is what makes turkey so infuriating but also awesome, There are so many ways to do it, but the funny thing is their very few ways to do it right. I still say the idea of cutting the breasts off 30 minutes before the rest of the bird is done is the best way to have non-dry breasts. That isn’t the end, but it is a good way. I personally prefer the dark meat. Posted by: Quint at November 28, 2024 01:37 AM (ThESq) 455

457, that was kind of my point not that it’s mine alone, but Thanksgiving is about memories with family and so forth. They have tested people by giving them different variations of Thanksgiving dinner and all they want is the Thanksgiving of their childhood. You can tell someone they should not eat canned cranberry sauce, and they should not have dry breasts, smothered and sauce, but they will tell you differently. They don’t want a gourmet meal they want Thanksgiving.

When Obama starts his "pluralism" preaching next month, let's not let people forget:
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Back. I successfully replaced the CMOS battery in the old Thinkpad laptop, and got the BIOS clock updated. I have forgotten the admin password for the Linux install I did ten years ago. I did delete all my old work-related files off it.
Tried to play a music mp3, and it hung. Powered it off. I might still have the old Mint 18.1 install thumb drive. I could reinstall that, and set a new password. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 28, 2024 02:57 AM (WZmoj) 493
I still remember the last Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house. My mother passed the dinner rolls (in a basket with a towel inside to keep them warm) a little too close to one of the candles, sort set the whole thing on fire there for a minute.
