Monday Overnight Open Thread - January 6, 2025 [Doof]
Howdy Hordelings, and a happy Monday to you all! Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance have been officially certified as the winners of the 2024 election for president and vice-president. Hooray! What's say you grab a beverage (or 2) and maybe a snack (or 2) and step on into tonight's ONT? As you can see from the photo above, the water's fine!
Something Important Happened Today
I finally have an answer to the question "What’s Kamala’s greatest accomplishment as Vice President?” pic.twitter.com/ahh3xZzcpv
— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) January 6, 2025
The Twelve Days of Christmas Are Over Have you figured out what to do with all 364 gifts you received from your true love? Yes, that's the aggregate number of gifts received over all of the days in the classic "Twelve Days of Christmas" song. (Since we've been repeatedly told there will be no math, there is no c-ONT-stitutional requirement to show one's work) Today is the Feast of the Epiphany on the Christian calendar. It commemorates the visit of the Magi (in Eastern Christianity, it also commemorates additional events). Tradition holds that there were 3 magi. However, the only Biblical account of the visit, in the book of Matthew, does not specify a number. There were three gifts mentioned - gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This is the likely reason why there were thought to be 3 magi - or "Wise Men".
Here's a different take on the Twelve Days.
Strange Geography - Exclaves A previous ONT featured a segment about an exclave (a portion of territory of one state completely surrounded by territory of another or others, as viewed by the home territory) known as the Kentucky Bend - an section of Kentucky which is only reachable by boat or by traveling through a portion of Tennessee. (commenting on old threads is dangerous and may earn you a permanent strike from the banhammer) Tonight, we have 2 more examples of exclaves in the United States. Both of these locations are only reachable by watercraft or by traveling through portions of Canada. Up first - Northwest Angle in Minnesota.
The Northwest Angle aka “the Angle” is located on the northern side of Lake of the Woods, or when viewing a map, the “chimney”. The area is 596.3 miles, 473.2 miles of that is water. It is also the northern most point of the contiguous 48 states. The Angle is in coexistence with Angle Township and Lake of the Woods County, surrounded by Manitoba and Ontario. The reefs create a fun and unique fishing experience for all!
Another US exclave is Point Roberts, Washington.
Point Roberts, WA is an unincorporated community located just South of the Vancouver, BC metro area. It can only be accessed by crossing by vehicle through Canada, flying in on a small plane or coming in by private boat. It is not physically connected to the continental United States, but it is part of Whatcom County [Washington].
Bonus exclave - The Lost Peninsula of Michigan.
The Lost Peninsula is a small exclave of the U.S. state of Michigan. It is part of Monroe County in the southeasternmost corner of the state. The Lost Peninsula was created as a result of the Toledo War boundary dispute in 1835 and 1836 to determine whether the State of Ohio or the Michigan Territory would control an area known as the Toledo Strip. After the Toledo War, the state border was established at approximately the 41,44 north latitude line just north of the mouth of the Maumee River. This gave the river and the city of Toledo to the state of Ohio. However, the state line continued across the smaller Ottawa River and divided the peninsula on the far side of the river. The land north of the state line on the far side of the river remained in Michigan, but it no longer had any land connection to the remainder of the state. The area became known as the “Lost Peninsula".
Phrase Origins On this morning's art thread, our moron friend Bulg (Or Glub, as I call him) mentioned the phrase "by and large" and wondered about it's origin. Well - here ya go!
By and large means “in general” or "on the whole" in most contexts, but in sailors’ lingo of yore, whence the phrase arose, by and large described a vessel alternately sailing as directly into the wind as possible (typically within about 45 degrees of the wind) - that is, by - and away from the direction from which the wind is blowing, with the wind hitting the vessel’s widest point - that is, large.
A phrase that has multiple possible origins is "the whole nine yards". Some say it refers to the length of an ammunition belt used by airmen during WWI and/or WWII. Others say it has to do with the amount of fabric required to make a men's suit or kilt. Lots of conflicting information on the interwebz. If you're interested, start with the Wikipedia entry, then go from there.
Here are 7 more phrase origins to check out.

For some reason my dad had a bottle of frankincense oil which I suspect he was using for his neuropathy. I had no real use for it, so I started putting it in the beeswax and pine tar boot grease I use. I am not sure if it makes much difference, but it does have a distinctive odor.

Carter Lake is an Iowa enclave located in Nebraska, situated across the Missouri River. The town was originally on the Iowa side of the river but due to a significant flood in 1877, the Missouri River shifted its course, moving Carter Lake to the Nebraska side. Despite this geographical change, Carter Lake remains part of Iowa, and residents must cross into Nebraska to access the town, making it a unique example of a pene-enclave.

It's a kind of ointment. One of it's uses was in embalming.
See: the spices the women brought to the tomb on Easter morning, intending to formally prepare Jesus for burial, since they were short of time on Good Friday, b/c of the start of the Sabbath.
The three gifts have a symbolic meaning- incense for Godhead, gold for King, and myrhh for sacrifice.

They were draining her stomach daily but she was doing well, eating well and they thought she might have a uear left in her. I said I could learn how to do the drainage but no. Need a professional.
Friday, Mom was being set up for assisted living. She'd have a small apartment and medical issues would be taken care of.
Saturday, my brother's family came here and we packed up everything Mom would need for assisted living. I hadn't seen her since she went to the hospital. Stateless needed a break. But I'd call 3 times a day and Mom would call me. Saturday, she was really tired but I know she doesn't sleep much and has days like that.
Sunday, I called in the afternoon. The nurse gave her the phone but she was out of it. Breaktime over. I ran to the hospital, fed her, she ate and drank everything but didn't remember my name. She was at 40%.

But just remembered, if we're talking exclaves, I did spend some time in Nagorno-Karabakh, when it was pretty quiet and under Armenian control. So I do have one exclave to check off - though I guess it's a definitional thing, since the Azeris have since taken it back, and it was never recognized by anyone as Armenian territory.

Posted by: Some Garbage Rat at January 06, 2025 10:26 PM (+VovS)
I get there before 9am and breakfast is still out. I don gloves and gown going into the room. Mom can't even sip. I put yogurt on a spoon, put it in her mouth, nothing.
Much less coherent too. 15% of normal. Her nurse said she got worse through the night.
The doctor comes in. Her first time seeing Mom. I told her this tale. Friday....assisted living and she was supposed to have a test today to make sure she was fine. But, wow, steep decline in literally dozens of hours.
We agreed no heroic measures. Just keep her comfortable. She had internal bleeding which she's had before. No more testing or anything. She mentioned hospice and I bluntly told her I didn't think Mom would last the week. Mentally, I'd be surprised if she was here Wednesday.
I came home around noon. Our beautiful neighbour, the wife, was going to the hospital with letters from the kids. Raced back, met her in the room. She brought me food! Also there was the daughter of one of my mother's best friends.
Mom was still a little responsive.
They moved Mom up to palliative care.

Posted by: Don Black at January 06, 2025 10:24 PM (/7KEl)
Fishing rights alone are worth plenty. Greenland has produced copper, coal, and cryolite, and certainly has prospects for more metallic minerals and gemstones. Very much under-explored for oil and gas, both onshore and offshore.
And Greenland has huge reserves of fresh water, that breaks off in chunks and falls into the sea. That shit is worth money, you know.

No, but many other sites WILL block/censor posts with certain content, even if it is a link to a TwitterX post.
It's to make sure it has the widest reach without being censored.

So that's why.
I didn't think X had an algorithm censoring words; or that e.g. leftists were bot-searching or the like to remove tweets using 'dangerous' language so conservatives were self-censoring to avoid complaints.

I suspect China is probably rattling the cage up there too. Obviously, they wouldn't be direct about it due to the US military interests. But, over the last half decade, China has been securing fishing rights in the weirdest places to accommodate for over fishing off their mainland. The last one they signed was off the coast of Yemen, as well as Somali (where a Chinese fishing trawler was promptly acquired by the local pirate gentry). That is, of course, when they bother to secure rights and don't just help themselves (which they do a lot).

Unsurprisingly, people would use it to escape. Eventually, a couple dozen East German border guards used it to break out. Very embarrassing for the Communist buttlickers, so they built a "mini Wall" around it.
Lucius Clay wasn't one to let the little bastards have an affront go unanswered, so he established a small military installation there as a big Yankee middle finger to East Shitkannisburg.
Transportation in and out was done by helicopter til the 70s, when we built a corridor into the rest of free Berlin.

Over and over.
I called people when I came home and told them to start spreading the word. I called the receptionist at Mom's heart doctor who loves Mom. They'd go out to lunch occassionally.
She came by around 5 and stayed a while and helped me. My brother showed up. Told me to get the dog Ralphy which he had paperwork for.
Back home again. Bring Ralphy to the hospital past 7pm. Dude gets a lot of likes. We went into the room and my brother says Mom's unresponsive. Like completely. Sponge in the mouth...no reaction.
I brought the dog home. I'm going to have 6 regular size beers, the food my friend brought and go to bed. I told my brother to text me. I'm drinking so the phone is downstairs.
We did this with my father too. Like Mom and I, Dad and I had no unexpressed thoughts. I took care of him too and he was happy about that. He had a stroke at age 90 when I was taking him to the vegetable market. I saw it happen in front of my eyes.

Chechnya's a whole different planet. Completely apart from Islam, the toughest/craziest bunch in their region by a large margin. Russian Empire fought its toughest fights there, it was their "wild south". And Chechens were by far the most able and dangerous jihadis in recent times. Always a bad sign if they were in the mix, and always instantly the focus of our operations.

Look at the map at the beginning of this article to give a different perspective. The Arctic region is rich in resources but it is also militarily and commercially strategic. Every major power in the world has been building up resources in the region for years trying to achieve dominance. Greenland is uniquely positioned and would give the US and immensely strategic location in the region.

You can find a video of the then contemporary dictator of Egypt - Nasser - giving a speech where everyone is dressed in western style and he laughs at the notion people in Egypt would ever go back to living like Muslims nutters...they were a modern people and wouldn't have any interest in such a thing.

Greenland is a (mostly) self-governing possession of Denmark, from whence came the Vikings who originally settled it. Its total population is 50 to 60 thousand, IIRC, and sustaining it costs Denmark much money.
How to take over? "Buy" it from Denmark for a few billion dollars; its resources are literally priceless, since not all are even discovered. Denmark is off the hook for sustaining it. As part of the deal, all Greenlanders get to retain Danish citizenship, and also get a U.S. green card. Ten years hence, they have to make a choice: swear the oath of allegiance, and become a U.S. citizen, use their Danish citizenship to resettle in Denmark, or simply remain in Greenland, and live out their days as a lawfully-resident alien.

Yep. You go to war to inflict enough pain on your enemies to get them to accept your terms.
Rebuilding their country and paying them if you kill their fighters in combat accomplishes the opposite of that.

One of those songs I have to let play to the end on the rare occasion it comes on the radio. First Class was a collection of studio musicians (UK I think). The record company was caught off guard by the song's success and slapped together a touring band that, IIRC, did not even include the original lead singer..

Egyptian Islamic scholar. Sayid Qutb. He was also an Egyptian politician and helped install radical Muslim Brotherhood teaching in the Egyptian government which caused a split that exists to this day.
Ayman al Zawahiri, bin Laden's righthand man founding and running al Qaeda, was a follower and became even more radicalized serving time in an Egyptian prison for his advocacy for the Muslim Brotherhood.
The New Orleans terrorist took a trip last year to Egypt. That's the home of the MB not ISIS.

But, on the whole, I bet she's relieved. She was never cut out to run with the real power demons. She doesn't have the killer instinct, and this entire thing has been much more difficult than the rest of her political career.
She can now retire from this bloodsport she's so bad at playing, and collect the millions in kickbacks the Party has set aside for her quiescent journey into political oblivion, while her erstwhile masters publicly torment, humiliate, and sideline her hated enemy DJT for the next four years.

Make them defend the indefensible publicly so that everyone may know who they are. That Starmer fellow looks frightened. Look at his eyes. He may be a bit thick, but he must have a gun to his head, figurative or otherwise. Only a total Wanker blames the victim.
Only a saboteur would engineer a moslem migration. Why though, do the “leaders” not only tolerate it, but roll over and persecute the citizenry?
It doesn’t make any sense here than it does over there. Any reasonably educated person knows that Islam is completely incompatible with the West. Sure, it’s perfect for death and destruction. Who wants that? Just a few globalists maybe. Nobody else. It sure seems that the West need only eliminate a fairly trivial number of players and a veritable laundry list of problems go bye-bye. Nobody will mourn their passing.

She said that's how it started, they just started hanging out with these adult men.
I can just about see my Daddy allowing my 13 year old self wander off to have lunch at the apartment of a bunch of grown-ass men.
Where the hell were these girls' parents when they were being passed around to 100s of men?! That took a lot of time!
I don't want to sound like I'm excusing the rapists, but why were the parents not wondering where their daughters were?!
My parents knew where I was 24/7 when I was that age. Of I went to a friend's home, my mom or dad or aunt or brother or whoever took me there and spoke to the parent when they dropped me off.
I wonder if a lot of these men had money and the pare is looked the other way...not knowing they are being raped, but hoping for a rich son in law?
I just don't see how thousands of parents had no idea where their daughters were every day after school for 4 years.

Think the majority are abducted walking home from school or walking where ever (they walk every where) and then coerced into silence until it becomes unbearable. They never tell it all; like the one where the police came in and the 13 year old was obviously raped by 4 men and stoned drunk, then they arrest the girl. BUT why were the cops there in the first place?

Most of these girls were from working class families.
From what I have read, many were in "care homes"--(is this comparable to our foster system?)
I don't think most had Dads that cared what they were up to, and they were happy to get attention from the guys at the takeaway/kabob shops.
I watched a documentary with an interview with a young girl. They got free food, drinks, and cigarettes. It was nice for them, at first. They got positive attention. Then they got gang-raped, and passed around. One girl was raped 1,000 times.
There were a few Dads who cared and tried to help their daughters. They got arrested for their troubles....

When I came forward about my abuse, I remember being asked by a detective from the CSE team whether I had “consented” to sexual activity at any point.
I was five when I was first abused.
And like 96.5% of sex abuse cases, CPS refused to take my abusers to court.
Then, I went on national TV with Mark Steyn to discuss child sexual exploitation in my hometown and the fact that little girls are still being raped and exploited on council estates in Telford today.
The police came banging on my door the next day after searching every address I’d ever lived at.
They tried to demand that I go to the police station for an “interview” and tried to intimidate me into silence because:
“When you go on national TV to discuss grooming gangs, you should expect us to come to you.”
This isn’t a thing of the past.
This is the present. (her interview with mark )

I know plenty of single mothers, and none of them would have gone years not knowing where their kids were after school, weekends, etc.
I'd be willing to bet at least some of them were perfectly fine with their teenage daughters rich older "boyfriend". Again, not saying they knew the full extent of the horror, but this went on for some of these girls for years. And my understanding is that a lot of people knew it. Not just the cops, but neighborhood people. So the parents ought to have been paying extra attention to their daughters whereabouts, and who they were running around with.
The entire situation beggars belief.

I also think we have a hard time over here understanding quaint English towns aren't English any longer. Stories like the Haitians eating the animals in that small Ohio city in which they were dumped opened some Americans' eyes to this problem. But we can talk about it, had a presidential ticket talk about it. They get arrested for even mentioning such things over there. I am saddened by how far our Mother Country has fallen. To think that a quarter million rapes of young poor and working class girls were acceptable in the name of diversity is,... I don't have a word except inhumane. These are their citizens! When your own government won't speak up for you, you are an illegitimate government, and the British ruling class fear being exposed as that.

There's one of those where a bit of IL is now across the river in MO due to river shifting.
It's interesting when you have a farm on a river. You actually own the land under the river halfway across, and pay taxes on that. And own any islands within.
Sometimes the islands disappear, and sometimes new ones appear. This is based on ca 100 yrs of my family owning the farm on the Rock River.
Cool historical note, when Black Hawk came back into IL in 1832 starting the War, he and his band traveled along the trail that ran next to the river and crossed our farm.

An additional tax on people for daring to drive in a specific area of NYC. That's after you've already paid multiple expensive tolls to cross the rivers.

I could absolutely be wrong! But he was alive when the marriage took place, at any rate.
A Civil ceremony, ( which Her Late Majesty did not attend) blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury afterwards, iirc. Queen Elizabeth did attend the blessing ceremony, again, iirc.
Charles was a widower at that point, so no church Canon was upset. I suspect that the Church of England might not consider him technically married, but the civil ceremony made it legal.

I'm not sure what the fuss is about, really. It's not like he's the first King of England who roamed wild and free amongst de wimmenz. Or, in a couple of cases, de menz.
Considering that the Church of England got its start in the first place so Henry VIII could get divorced (again) and marry his latest side girl (again)...

The recent ones have it as a separate piece you can just take out, without having to drill it. Usually with some "warning" about not taking it out or the hippies will have the sads. I think it's rather like the compressed bricks of ground-up raisins that used to be sold during Prohibition, with a "warning" to not put it in a five gallon jug of water and leave it in a dark cupboard or cellar for a few weeks, or it might turn into wine.

Well, that went well, upgraded this bare metal install of Fedora to version 41. I've got a bunch of Linux installs I run in Virtualbox VMs, but I've got this one directly installed on the machine.
A while back, I let it get too far behind, and it was a mess to get it upgraded to the latest version. They take the old repositories down and move them to some archive site, requiring all sorts of fiddling with the configuration files to get the updates to work.
And I got annoyed enough with the fonts to get the right fonts for the browsers installed on this one. Somehow, on the VM installs, those fonts were there, but not on this one. It's something about open source vs proprietary fonts.

Speaking of Brits... one from a happier day.
A Brit was visiting an American farm and noticed that they had numerous rows of tomatoes. "Whatever do you do with them all?" The farmer says "We eat what we can, and what we can't, we can." Chuckles all around.
The Brit goes back home and is talking about his trip to a friend. "I say, old bean, an American farmer came up with the most clever play on words." "What was it?" "We eat what we can, and what we cannot eat we put into tins."

A German judge complemented a Syrian migrant during his trial for raping a 15-y-old girl while she was walking home.
The migrant was only given probation as the judge said the migrant had integrated well in Germany & the rape intensity was "at the lower end”
A German man, Paul S, mailed the court and wrote that the judge was "clearly mentally disturbed."
He was fined EUR 5000 for insulting the judge. The Syrian migrant was fined EUR 3000 for raping the girl.

The last time it was prorogued for real was Chuck the First who used the tactic several times. The difference between dissolving and proroguing is that dissolving causes new elections, while proroguing doesn't.... it just adjourns Parliament until it is His Majesty's Pleasure to call it back. In the interim, you have Personal Rule.
