Sunday Overnight Open Thread - March 2, 2025 [Doof]

doof-seychelles.jpg


Howdy Hordelings, and welcome to the first Sunday ONT of March! Did the month come in like a lion for you, or like a lamb? Is that still a thing? Anyway, there's plenty of fun and interesting stuff here for you. Come on in!

Dots in the Nighttime Sky

Did you see the "parade of planets" on Friday night? I looked for it. I saw a bunch of twinkling stuff in the sky. Some were probably planets. Couldn't really tell you. But it supposedly was pretty cool.

Photo captures 7 planets in a line over Earth — possibly for the 1st time ever

doof-planets.jpg

A stunning photo has captured all seven of our neighboring planets in Earth's sky at the same time, possibly for the first time ever.

The composite image, captured by astrophotographer Josh Dury, shows Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Venus, Neptune and Mercury in alignment thanks to a rare "planetary parade" [which took] place this weekend for the first time since 1982.

***

"Seven (arguably, 8 ) is a feat that to my prior knowledge has not been achieved before," Dury told Live Science in an email — suggesting that if we include Earth itself, visible in the foreground, the image's planet total comes to eight. "This image could hold a record for being the first of its kind to photograph all the planets of the solar system, blended into a stitched panoramic image."

Dury captured the image just after sundown on Feb. 22 from The Mendip Hills — a range of limestone hills in Somerset in the U.K.

To achieve this photographic feat, Dury created a composite shot made up of several panes, with each pane captured in multiple exposures.

Grandfathers Everywhere Approve

All 50 States Have Now Introduced Right to Repair Legislation

doof-repair.jpg

Legislation under the moniker “right to repair” has now been introduced in all 50 states, marking a major milestone in this grassroots consumer movement.

GNN has reported on the march of right to repair laws across the US, but also the kind of entrepreneurialism they engender: like an aftermarket auto parts company that makes replacements for well-known faulty components in automobiles.

Passed in New York, Minnesota, Colorado, California, and Oregon, Wisconsin just became the final US state to introduce some sort of right to repair laws.

In broad terms, all of these bills would generally guarantee a consumer’s right to access replacement parts for devices and machines, repair manuals or other relevant documents for expensive products, diagnostics data from original manufacturers, and even in some cases, such as automobiles, appropriate tools necessary for maintenance.

They may also ban the use of technological protection measures, sometimes called “software locks” that are designed to restrict repair only to authorized repair technicians.

“Americans are fed up with all the ways in which manufacturers of everything from toasters to tractors frustrate or block repairs, and lawmakers are hearing that frustration and taking action,” Nathan Proctor, right to repair director for consumer rights group PIRG, told 404 Media’s Jason Koebler, who has been tracking right to repair legislation for 10 years.

He details that at first, big tech and big engineering, such as Apple, John Deere, and others, ardently lobbied against these bills, saying that trade secrets protections would be violated if they were forced to turn over diagnostics, telemetry, or other insider data to non-company actors.

The progressive difficulty with which modern products, particularly electronics, are designed prevents most amateurs from being able to repair them if they break.

AOP - you here tonight? This story likely gains your approval!

DJ Doof – This Date in History Version

Born on this day in 1950: American singer and drummer Karen Carpenter





On this day in 2008: Canadian guitarist, singer, Jeff Healey, died of cancer. Healey lost his sight to retinoblastoma, a rare cancer of the eyes when he was 8 months old, resulting in his eyes being surgically removed.



On this day in 1999: Dusty Springfield died after a long battle against cancer, aged 59. The British singer had her first UK hit single in 1963 with this song...

It got best supporting actress and best song, which I figured it would (best song is safe and I heard what's her name from Guardians of the Galaxy was actually really good). It likely won't get anything else.

I know probably no one here cares lol, I was actually hoping it would sweep the Oscars and bury that town deeper than it is already.

Meaning, after all the talk of him being "ambushed" by Trump and Vance, this is (shockingly!) all his fault. And the Dems. As usual.

Not the one Ginger Baker, John Bonham and Keith Moon were occupying. Buddy Rich was still alive at the time, too, wasn't he?

Everyone calm down, Pete 100% deserves to have a plaque for his career. He's also not "kept out of the Hall". There's more than a few mentions of him there, just no plaque.

He was just the lowest of the low and unrepentant and unreformed and unapologetic until the end. A definitional scum-bag. A shame he didn't end up behind bars where he belonged.

That's not "judging". Those are just open and notorious facts.

76 Tucker Carlson

@TuckerCarlson

One of the most striking things about yesterday’s Zelensky press conference was Lindsey Graham’s reaction to it. The two are old friends, but Graham disavowed him within the hour. This was more than just transactional disloyalty. It was scapegoating. Lindsey Graham knows what’s coming. Over the past three years, with the tacit support of its western patrons, the Ukrainian government has committed a remarkable number of serious crimes. The Ukrainians sold huge quantities of American weapons on the international black market at twenty cents on the dollar. These weapons are now in the hands of armed groups around the world, including Hamas, the Mexican drug cartels and the forces now controlling Syria. God knows what the Ukrainians have done with the pathogens in American biolabs in their country. Even US intel agencies aren’t sure. The Ukrainians have also murdered a number of people in various countries in political assassinations, and tried to murder others, including American journalists and a European head of state. This is all true, and it’s all going to come out at some point. Better to start blaming it on Zelensky now.

FAFO...
Posted by: Romeo13 at March 02, 2025 10:17 PM (QAkQ3)


I never believed the claims that this was a deliberate ambush by Trump and Vance. To me, it came off from the first as, they thought the deal was nailed down when the press conference started, Zelensky pulled the rug out from under them in front of the press, and they got pissed.

This all comes of Zelensky believing the Western world has a moral obligation to support his country against Russia, and therefore he can set whatever terms he wants. That's not how foreign policy works.

84 This morning when I got up at 3am. the toilet wouldn't flush. I went back to bed and when it was daylight I took a look at it.

The "chain" that connects the exterior handle to the flap valve had come off the flap valve, and on closer inspection, the "chain" is actually just a ribbon of plastic that had been cast when the flap valve had been cast, the whole thing was a single unit, now broken.

so I used a small stainless wood screw to attach the ribbon back on the flush valve, and it works. I have a replacement valve as well, so when my bodge-up to get it functional finally stops working I can re do the whole thing.

86 Born a little too early to appreciate Karen Carpenter. Deep into the Dead and the like, what little I knew of the Carpenters had them locked into the teeny bopper pop music category, which was studiously ignored.
Too bad, she did have a lovely voice. Can't say I knew she was a drummer at all.

I just can't seem to find it

I found an Eggers movie (Nosferatu), and Eastwood movie (Juror #2), and a Cage movie (Dream Scenario) but it took some work and the latter, for example, came out 2 years ago

20 years ago Hollywood was coming out with at least one movie a week you'd want to see.

Bonham: "I’d like to have it publicized that I came in after Karen Carpenter in the Playboy drummer poll," roars Bonzo as I entered the dressing room at the Chicago Stadium. "She couldn’t last ten minutes with a Zeppelin number," he sneers.

Jennifer or Bailey was 1978-1982.

They were just over a decade apart.

However, the more recent was still 43 years ago!!!

Japanese anime has become very popular among young American men, but especially young black American men.

Black characters in anime are rare not surprisingly most are Japanese with the rest almost all Caucasian.

So...why has anime caught on then? The stories are more traditional hero's journey type stories that are appealing to young men.

It's clearly biased to a silly level, but Nolan but together an entertaining movie.

But before that the last winner I'd bothered to see was Birdman in 2014.

Now, I'm just one guy and tastes certainly vary...but the "best picture" almost never is. And while I enjoyed Birdman that same year John Wick, The Rover, the Babadook, Interstellar, American Sniper and The Edge of Tomorrow all came out and were all better movies than the winner...

My personal experience with root canals is that eventually they go bad, and the tooth winds up being pulled anyway. Better to hork the tooth out, let the jawbone and gum heal, and then have an implant made next year.

YMMV

The Ukraine stuff makes me viscerally angry. To hear the US leftists and the Eurotrash root for WWIII. It is bizarre and disgusting.

I do suspect there is crossover between Epstein list and Ukraine beneficiaries.

399 Bonding was saved from that clusterfuck by the Zelensky slap down. I don’t know what happened but from what I’ve read there is no Epstein list, not that we will ever see. Anybody of interest has paid off the girls for their silence. It is a side show that is a distraction for more important things.
Posted by: Ripley at March 03, 2025 12:00 AM (PTDkx)

It's a side show only because everyone is focused on the wrong end of things. The individual underage sex cases are important enough, but far more important is that some three-letter agency or agencies was running an underage sex ring for purposes of kompromat. That's not remotely a side show; it's part and parcel of the complete lawlessness and unaccountability of our government.

Don't care about the Epstein files, what's more essential is finding out what IC/LE apparatus was running him and bankrolling him and to what purposes.

The Epstein files are in the same vein as getting to the origins of the Steele Dossier, it's immaterial and a squirrel.

The Blue Ghost lander landed on the Moon a little less than 24 hours ago. Here's the company's X feed with the pictures it took:

https://tinyurl.com/26glvtsp

It landed in the Sea of Crisis (Mare Crisium) near a central mountain called Mons Latreille. It's not that high, and the region is pretty flat, I think.

Anyway, if you're looking at the crescent moon near sunset, it will be in the lighted sliver on the "bottom right" close to the limb.

Exactly. The SDNY and NY FBI office also appear to be in full rebellion, so the Epstein files coverup is a justification to tear them apart, and to hold people accountable. Bondi is really dropping the ball so far.

I knew FBI HQ in D.C. was out of control, but little did I realize how out of control the NY Field Office is by hiding Weiner and Epstein files from bosses.

I have to wonder how many other major city field offices are just as corrupt? I know Boston has a history of FBI corruption with Whitey Bulger.

Holy shit man. That explains the heart monitor. I had one when I had a bypass, but they let me unplug it when I wanted and hit the bathroom when I wanted. I never had a heart attack, so I guess they figured I was cool. My nurses were golden. They treated my like pharaoh. I was the youngest customer there, didn't have a heart attack, and was pretty mobile throughout, so I didn't need much help at all, so I guess for them it was play time, so we goofed off a lot.

465 Radio was important back in the day, 60's and 70's. Teens listened to their favorite station. A top 40 station would play anything that was in the top 40. Hard rock, pop, soul, even some country (if it was sort of pop). Now days the stations stick to certain genre. But we listened to a lot of radio. Times were different, we didn't have the gadgets we have today. Television was limited to just a few channels. Going to the movies was kinda a thing. So were phone booths. And souped up cars that would be cleaned and polished on Friday for cruising weekend nights. It was so different than these days, but we had fun.

Don Henley, like most celebrities, fall in the category of the more you know about them, the worse they are.

478 Radio was important back in the day, 60's and 70's. Teens listened to their favorite station. A top 40 station would play anything that was in the top 40. Hard rock, pop, soul, even some country (if it was sort of pop). Now days the stations stick to certain genre. But we listened to a lot of radio. Times were different, we didn't have the gadgets we have today. Television was limited to just a few channels. Going to the movies was kinda a thing. So were phone booths. And souped up cars that would be cleaned and polished on Friday for cruising weekend nights. It was so different than these days, but we had fun.

Yeah, I'll say. I'm probably not quite as old, but my generation was probably the last to drive actual muscle cars to high school and fill the parking lot with them. I started with a 68 GTO, and there were 2 other dudes with the exact car in the same color, and 3 other dudes with them in other colors. There were late 60's/early 70's camaros, box novas, late 60's/early 70's chevelles. They were older cars, not new, but plentiful and cheap. I paid $350 for the GTO. yup, good times.

The only person with a bigger ego than Felonious D is Buddy Rich. It isn't even close. Rich could drive a big band like nobody else - this is good thing.

Don't know Felonious D but Buddy Rich was the prima donna of big band drummers. The big band era of 50s & 60s, the bands, were the survivors mastered by players that would not quit. Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, Count Basie and Stan Kenton were the preeminent bands of that era. The Survivors. The front man of each band, himself a player in his time.

A friend of mine had some chrysler station wagon with a 383 4 barrel. It had no rear shocks, so we used to pile a few people in it to keep the bounce down and just drove around getting roasted. Another freind of mine had a few huge old chrysler imperial land yachts ranging from 1962-1965 with the 413 engine. We would put 6 people in those and it was like partying in a living room with leather couches. yeah they don't make cars like that anymore.

495 The US seems to be shoving Europe into the a well deserved wastebin.

People in charge now think actually mildly cooperating with the Russians is more beneficial to the US than fighting them. This cuts off all the fake Cold War BS rice bowels we were all fed.

The US wants its sphere of influence and Russia wants theirs. Most of Europe has already been conquered by their own hubris by the Muzzies.

The Germans shouldn't have laughed in Trumps face.

My thinking is Trump knows Starmer is part of the great evil he faces and which he frequently mentions. The rape gang situation in Britain is proof. Starmer a decade ago was the head of Crown Prosection Services, only covering up the crimes not seeking any justice for the girls. I just feel Trump does not like nor give two fucks for kiddy rape enabler Starmer. Trump stands up for children instead of trying to sniff them.

Well no doubt to the right person. No clue on how hard it would be to get parts since they haven't been made in 50 years. I'm sure like anything else collectable there is a dude out there with garage full of them, restores them, probably sleeps with one, and had a shit ton of parts. There are motorcycle enthusiasts out there that just have to have anything rare. I never saw one in person, and can't even find one for sale, so what does that tell you?
