Sunday Overnight Open Thread - January 12, 2025 [Doof]
Howdy Hordelings, and a happy Sunday night to you all! Are you fully ensconced in 2025 yet? Are your holiday decorations down and back in storage? No matter how you answered those questions, we're glad you stopped by tonight's ONT. Let's see if anything fun or interesting awaits you tonight.
Sunday Night Mini Rant We're still a week away from the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Those of you who spend time on X may have noticed that there are quite a few high profile "influencer" style accounts who seem to think the 2024 election resulted in Trump becoming a king - instantly. These accounts, which I refer to as "MAGA X, Inc." have zero tolerance for anyone who does not accept and support 100% of what Trump says or does. Those who have questioned any of his selections for cabinet positions or expressed concern over the Continuing Resolution that Trump supported are called traitors. They've painted staunch conservatives in Congress as RINOs. To them -- How dare anyone wonder why renaming the Gulf of Mexico warrants any attention right now? Also to them -- Of course it's a great idea to pursue acquiring Canada or Greenland. Anyway, it's very interesting that even as Trump himself supports positions that are quite questionable to the conservative base that elected him, these MAGA influencers seem to have no interest in calling him out on anything. Many X users have been diligently digging into some of these MAGA influencers, and it seems as though much grift abounds. Free speech and capitalism are wonderful things. But a smart and informed consumer is even more wonderful. Choose wisely!

Schoolhouse Rock was a staple for Gen X kids while watching Saturday morning cartoons. Here's a look behind the curtain, so to speak, to see the face that goes along with a very familiar voice.
52 years ago today, School House Rock made its debut on ABC.

I also want to thank the Horde for the kindness when I let you my mother in her late 80's passed away. Nine days ago we were talking about assisted living and she passed away fast. Gone Thursday before 1pm.
I've turned a corner and am feeling better despite my entire life being up in the air. Now I'm only massively depressed but on the upswing.
I'm having beer and edibles tonight but not too much since some of the cats are outside and it's cold.
Snowflake just came in. Waiting for Trumpy.

Thank you. I saw The Cult a few times back in the 80s. They were awesome. Saw the current incarnation of the band a year or 2 ago. Really just Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy along with 2 young stage musicians. Billy is still an amazing guitarists. Sadly, Ian's voice is nowhere near what it used to be. He couldn't hit high notes, nor could he sustain long melodies. Was kinda sad.

While viewing the VIPs during Carter’s funeral service, a thought occurred to me: The men there; DJT, Obama, Gore, and Pence, while mortal enemies, greeted each other by the normal, polite, mannerly convention: standing when greeting, shaking hands, saying hello and such. In Obama and PDJT’s case they even shared a laugh or two. Even though, I am sure they loathe each other.
Contrast that to the women there. They revealed themselves to be petty, small, mean and rude people. Big Mike didn’t even attended. Harris, Hillary and Karen (I know, right?) Pence couldn’t be bothered to even fake graciousness or kindness.
Leftist women have to be the foulest creatures on earth. Ugly, bitter, mean and nasty even when they, through their husbands, have reached the pinnacles of success and power.

Trump says and does a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense to me. I'm not sure that I could agree with all of it even if I tried. I don't feel under obligation to the assclowns on X or anyone else to pass their test for MAGA purity.
I agree with big things, American First, rolling back the crimes of the democrats, protecting individual freedoms.

Trump was trolling about Canada because they have been ripping us off for decades on trade but making a strategic alliance with Greenland is something that has been on the radar for decades because it makes complete sense. A lot of people also mocked when it was suggested Alaska was a smart acquisition or even Louisiana not to mention Texas.
Conservatives are not always right. Just sometimes.

She left the convent which was pretty hard to do. Married Dad and moved to Canada. Became a teacher here. The principals were pretty hard ass, but they all loved Mom. American Thanksgiving would approach and they were fine with her being sick to celebrate with family in Detroit.
Mom taught grade one. New teaching styles would appear for reading. Mom would close her door and teach tried and true phonics.
Anytime I have ever met anyone taught by Mom, they would excitedly tell me that she was their favorite teacher ever.
So Mom was a nun, a teacher. Also a dog thief.

Along those lines I saw some conservative complaining about RFK and the regulations he's likely to seek. And you know what? I think most of them will make no difference. But...I don't care if a bowl of Fruit Loops is a little less colorful. What I do care about is an HHS that isn't going to try and make people take a poison shot.

One of her best friends was the secretary at the school. She lived near a house where there was a beautiful Collie kept outside in a fenced enclosure. It would bark all the time.
So of course, nun of 14 years, teacher. Dog jail break.
I was a young kid. I barely remember anything, much less why the hell I was brought along.
But 1970's. Big car. Dark small town alley. The car stops. Lights go out. Mom and her friend open up the enclosure. The dog is lured into the car.
I do remember. The fur was all matted. It was scared.
It was a beautiful Collie. I don't even know what time this happened. I was a kid. It was dark.
They brought the dog into our house. It was cleaned up and went to live a very happy life with one of my Mom's teacher friends on a farm in the country.
I'm sure God is amused that she was a nun 14 years AND a dog thief. God would laugh at that.
Thank you all for your support.

One of the things I like about having a business guy who doesn't sleep in charge is the ability to multi-task. It's not an either or thing. It's both.
Trump didn't just pull Greenland out of his ass. It has been talked about since the Truman administration because the Arctic is one of the most strategic places on earth, not just because of the minerals but because of the shipping lanes. That's why both China and Russia have been moving on it.
We've been accustomed to administrations who can barely focus on one thing at a time. This administration will do more. Much more. Homan has already said he will start deporting illegal on day 1. I believe him. I also believe that all the other people in government getting paid can do their jobs at the same time.

It's not like acquiring Greenland would be a military invasion. Negotiate to buy it from Denmark, provide some carrots so that a majority of the Greenlanders themselves buy into it, have a formal signing ceremony, hand over the simoleons, and it's a done deal. It doesn't have to take all the waking hours of the entire Administration.

The prime minister of Greenland , lit. 'Leader of the government'; officially the premier of Greenland,[2] is the head of government of Greenland, a constituent country of the Kingdom of Denmark.
The prime minister is usually leader of the majority party in the Parliament of Greenland. Jonathan Motzfeldt became the first prime minister after home rule was granted to Greenland in 1979. The incumbent prime minister is Múte Bourup Egede.

What you need to know: The largest river restoration project in American history has officially completed all of the work to remove the dams, a massive infrastructure project that was done ahead of schedule and on budget. Work will continue for several years restoring the 2,200 acres of formerly submerged lands.
...
“This is a monumental achievement – not just for the Klamath River but for our entire state, nation, and planet. By taking down these outdated dams, we are giving salmon and other species a chance to thrive once again, while also restoring an essential lifeline for tribal communities who have long depended on the health of the river. This is proof of what’s possible when we come together to prioritize our environment, our people, and future generations.”...

No. But, today was MiladyJo's birthday (she's 21 now), which is the official family end-of-the-season day. Unless we count her late eldest brother's birthday on the 22nd. Or her younger brother's birthday in February. Or my nephew's birthday in March. We'll get around to it, eventually. Got the wreaths off the front door, at least.
Howdy, y'all. Gotta go check the post. Anything interesting in the 200+ comments I should know about?

In the meantime, I have been brushing up on the whys and hows and whats of Earth in 2025. As a Nosferatu, I am limited in my ability to access normal means of education and instruction. Luckily, there is something called Distance Learning. Oh, and Wikipedia. This is helpful. Orlok understands now why Greenland would be advantageous to American interests, and would only warn that, as an autonomous overseas region of the Kingdom of Denmark, the inhabitants are de facto members of the EU. If you think the EU is annoying at your end of things, consider how unbearable it is on the Mainland - even if one is a Nosferatu tucked away in the Carpathians. The EU is a huge swindle perpetrated by the Belgians, and that is an especially damning fact.

I'm told ICE will place a detainer request on him with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, but they do not expect it to be honored due to California's Sanctuary State law.
I'm told Sierra-Leyva will have a court appearance tomorrow. Again - he has not been charged w/ arson and is in custody only on a probation violation at the moment, as multiple agencies have been interviewing him.

Do they not realize how little land that is? That is less than 4 square miles. And presumably they had fish ladders so that spawning salmon could avoid the dams and still ascend the river.

That's nicely noted. First thing that jumped up for me was that the mayor, who sat in stony silence for minutes after initial press questioning, had her writing staff in gear by the next morning. 'These people' always have great scripts for after the conflagration: memorial services, "first responder" credits, and the sieg-heil of The Future City. Ask them where the water went as the beams are falling and you'll do all the talking. Nero indeed.

Actually, they retconned that by making "the Kessel Run" a smuggling route through a region of space with several black holes. So a better ship and pilot could fly closer to them without falling into any of the black holes, and a shorter distance was thus a better result.

A parsec comes from "parallax second". That is the distance at which an angle of 1 arcsecond would subtend 1 au (distance from earth to the sun). That was the source of their error in Star Wars writing, confusing a second of arc with a second of time.
And rather than just admit they were wrong, they had to come up with that crazy retcon to make it an distance, not a time.

Orlok will tell you from bitter experience that the Little Ice Age was a bitch and a half. I still shiver when I remember going to the privy during that era. And the throng of peasant mobs continually storming Castle Orlok was no walk in the park either. "Two Four Six Eight, Make Out Temps Elevate," they would chant while waving their pitchforks and torches. Orlok still does not fully understand why they always went to those implements. Oh, I am going to storm the Nosferatu's castle, quickly let me get a pitchfork and light a torch for the siege and investment. I would kindly explain to them that weather control is not in my wheelhouse, but that led only to more chanting and accidental burnings and puncture injuries. I would eventually shrug and have my minions rain down the boiling oil and molten lead on them, which ended matters until the next time. Oh, and watch my movie - the guy that played Pennywise is attempting to embody me on camera. That is depressing, but Orlok may get paid this time.

Nikola Tesla dies, and the ONLY person allowed access to his safe—the one containing all his most secret inventions—is John G. Trump, a brilliant MIT scientist and, oh yeah, Donald Trump’s uncle, who conveniently says, “nothing to see here” while the government quietly packs up Tesla’s life’s work
then, in 1958, a Trackdown episode features a conman named Walter Trump selling people a “magic wall” to save them from the end of the world
but WAIT—it gets weirder: back in the 1890s, Ingersoll Lockwood writes about Baron Trump, a kid from “Castle Trump” going on wild adventures with a guide named Don, and then writes The Last President, where chaos breaks out in America after the election of an outsider
fast forward to 1953 and Wernher von Braun—the father of rocket science—publishes a book about humans colonizing Mars led by a guy literally called Elon!!!
and today we’ve got Elon Musk, who runs Tesla (named after Nikola Tesla!) and is obsessed with getting us to Mars and is not only working with Trump but quite literally got him elected and has even visited his magic wall

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingersoll_Lockwood
2. In early 1943, two days after the death of Nikola Tesla, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ordered the Office of Alien Property Custodian to seize Tesla's belongings.[9] Trump [John George Trump (August 21, 1907 – February 21, 1985) was an American electrical engineer, inventor, and physicist. A professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1936 to 1985,] was called in to analyze the Tesla artifacts, which were being held in government custody.[9] After a three-day investigation, Trump's report concluded that none of the artifacts would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands.[10]

Boiling Water
Advantage: cheap. Disadvantages: may be in short supply if the siege has been going on for a while. Not really all that hot.
Boiling Piss
Advantage: even cheaper, never in short supply. Disadvantages: boiling it produces a stench that affects your own team. Again, not really that hot.
Boiling Oil
Advantage: sticks (think napalm). Can be made much hotter than water or piss. Disadvantage: expensive. Requires capital investment ahead of time.
Molten lead:
Advantages: reusable (just wait for it to harden and pick it up), can be made far hotter than boiling piss or water. Disadvantage: expensive, again high capital investment (somewhat mitigated by the fact that it can be reused).

It was used for drinking water, so the EPA required a cover over it. Keep debris and bird droppings out.It became ripped, and thus not legal to consume. They let a contract for the repair and it isn’t done yet. That’s why they drained it. It was scheduled to go back online in February. The Union guy said the repair should have been done inhouse.
Also required chlorination. It seems silly to me to try and maintain such a large reservoir of potable water this way. Why not treat the water close to the end user?
They interviewed a retired DPW guy who claims even if it was full, “it wouldn’t have saved the day” that seems to me a bit of a questionable thing. It’s sort of a tautology. The claim is that the fire was too big, therefore. Well, maybe it wouldn’t have got out of control if they had water in the hydrants in the first place.
And undoubtedly some homes would have otherwise been spared. I bet that would have saved their day.

I'm very close to the boomer/genX line, but it's more than the actual year. Technically I'm in the lat of the boomers, but its also a cultural thing too. I took a test one time to see where I really fit, and you answer a bunch of questions, like what movies or TV shows you watched as a kid, what music you like, and a bunch of other questions. I came in as a solid GenX, I had very little to nothing in common with a boomer, and what I did have in common with a boomer was just because I was just old enough to witness certain events. Another thing I think about when they say boomers screwed the country. Look around, these carcasses sauntering around the halls of power in DC that fucked this place up are silent generation, not even boomers.

You'll think I'm nuts, but I always considered sound waves to be the cure to most illnesses. Ever sing in the shower and hit that "resonant tone" that sort of echoes off the tiles? Suppose you could control and focus a sound wave to only effect something with a very specific atomic weight just like a resonant tone. Identify the genome that is instrumental in cancer...zap it with a sound wave and kill it with a resonant tone only applicable to the universal atomic weight of the genome. Do the same with viruses, bacteria. All you need to know is the atomic weight....zap it all gone, nothing else effected.

Note that their Leftist counterparts on Twitter have zero tolerance for anyone who DOES support Trump. Our guys may be intolerant of differing opinions because they're set up to challenge the Left.

I agree with a lot of what you said but this last part I disagree.
We were told all throughout the campaign that if Trump got the nomination he would lose. That was obviously wrong. He won in a landslide. Those who keep insisting despite all evidence this isn't a really popular movement have no idea what they are talking about.
Restoring this country is not some wild eyed, crazy idea. It's extremely popular. Just because those of who support it don't control the media most say they hate doesn't mean it isn't true. It obviously is.
The MAGA brand means nothing more than being proud of this country and the traditional values it was founded on and it is much more popular than talking heads on teevee told everyone it is. That's why we won so big despite the cheating.
I'm not defensive. I'm defiant. And I'm going to enjoy all the winning.

One tune in standard that I’ve never heard anybody duplicate is the isolated acoustic track on Ramble On. It’s maybe 5 minutes, never plays the phrase quite the same way twice. I wonder if maybe there are two acoustic guitars or overdubs. Maybe, I don’t think so.

I can’t figure out how anybody figured these tunes out before YT. If all you got is a record player. Jeeze louise. “What the F is he doing?” I like open tunings. But I gots one guitar. Swapping around to a buncha different tunings all the time trashes them quickly.
Posted by: Common Tater at January 13, 2025 01:04 AM (dY3L3)
Thats why most of the 7 guitars in the rack are what I call junkers. Mostly decent cheaper things I accumulated over the years that I would never play live or record with. Metal bands are tuned all over the map these days. E, Eb, D, C#, C, Cb, and with lower tuning you need a heavier gauge string, and that means possible nut slot adjusting, and truss rod adjustments, etc. Yeah, not doing that to my good guitars which I keep tuned to E. Let the junkers handle it.

Me? Oh hell no, I don't get involved with that kind of tuning. At that point I would forget my own birthdate. lol

Only "Sniff 'n' The Tears" is even worthy of a tiny blot on the tapestry that was those times.
And to the chicks of the '70s, They looked so good but they were mostly guaranteed to ruin an engine upon take off or landing.
Posted by: somejoe at January 13, 2025 03:40 AM (RCAte)
Believe me, I remember the '70s! At least the parts where I was sober. AM and FM radio music tied us together, people were slim. Yes, there was inflation compared to the Sixties, but you could still buy a large bag of Doritos for .79 and a fifth of Old Crow for less than $5. Compared to now, .55/gal. for gasoline in 1976 seems unbelievable . . . but a midsize car now gets mileage that would have seemed wild fantasy back then. I was a young man, making my own choices (at least the ones my then-wife No. 1 didn't argue me out of), making my own money for the first time. Seemed pretty great. And the first half of the '80s seemed even better.

The moon has a day? I thought it had them all.
The inflation then was but a foreshadowing of what is now.
The overall mileage has not changed for most classes of cars, they just throw in some special car classes and lie about the numbers.

of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of
exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced
but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.
Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being stolen?
I'd truly appreciate it.
