Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - March 5, 2025 [TRex]
.jpg)
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
This is the Wednesday night ONT.
This includes providing archival records documenting the use of Nazi "ratlines." Ratlines were monetary and logistic pathways Nazis used to escape justice and flee to Latin America, including Argentina, following World War II.
Abhishek M R sued the PVR Cinemas, BookMyShow and INOX for showing long ads of about 25 minutes before the movie began, which wasted his time. A consumer court now has ordered PVR to mention the exact time of the movie in the tickets and not the time when the commercials ads begin. According to the complainant, the long ads delayed the movie time and due to which he could not get back to work. The court said that "time is money" and no one has the right to benefit from someone else's time and money.The man requested damages for "causing mental agony," punitive damages for unfair business practices, and court costs. The court awarded him $230 in damages and $92 for legal costs. The article does not say what kind of job allows enough time for a mid-day movie break (if the movie runs on time).

Musk has also said that former president Joe Biden rejected his offer to bring the astronauts home early because it would've made Donald Trump and his supporters 'look good.'
During a Tuesday press conference, Williams and Wilmore were asked if the Biden administration did in fact decline Musk's offer to bring them home early, to which Wilmore replied that Musk's claim 'is absolutely factual.'

I also read incidentally, when swearing in the military they have you take a step forward. That is the actual formal induction, so if you tried to get cute and refuse to take the oath, they already had you dead to rights for refusing a lawful order. Maybe this was a Viet Nam era bit of folklore. I do recall the take a step forward thing however.

500,000 rupees (about $5750) is considered a pretty good middle class annual salary there (or it was 10 years ago -- I know becuz my company paid my counterpart there that amount and he was ... not rich, but "comfortable"), so the 1 lakh is about 20 years or "good money" for the guy.
In case you wondered. Which I'm sure no one did, but... i said it anyway.

Lover that show when I was a wee lad obsessed with TV growing up. Thought Redd Foxx was the most avuncular old curmudgeon. Wasn't until later in life that I realized he was one of the funniest potty-mouthed comedians out there. Infamous on the Chitlin Circuit when he was younger. Network TV gave him a whole new audience.

Playoff picture is crazy in the Eastern Conference.
Six teams are within four points of a wild card spot, eight teams still in the hunt (plus the two teams IN the WC spots). Twenty or twenty-one games left.
The Western Conference has four trams within four points.
Real close horse race with a bunch of yeams slugging it out.
And the Capitals just beat the NY Rangers in OT. Sadly, the NYR got a point, pulling ahead of the Red Wings by a point.
At least it wasn't two points.

Marine joke:
Guy goes into the Army recruiter, says he wants to enlist.
Recruiter says, " Great, kid, what training do you want, electronics, diesel mechanic?
Kid says, "No, I don't want any special training."
"Ok", says Recruiter, " you must want to pick your duty station for guaranteed 2 years. Germany, Japan? Pick it."
Kid says, " I don't care where you send me."
Recruiter says, " Ok, then you must want the short enlistment. More time in active reserve, but only 3 years active duty."
Kid says, "No, I want 4 years. Probably Infantry."
Recruiter says, "You don't care where we send you, you don't want to learn a valuable trade, and you want 4 years in the infantry. Go next door to the Marine recruiter, they're looking for guys as dumb as you."

I knew. Dad had a couple of hard-bound collections of Addams' cartoons, the "family" and others. Great stuff to warp my young mind. I was a little disappointed in the somewhat sanitized TV show version, but it had its own charms and quirks - especially Morticia.
None of the characters had names before the show. Addams suggested something else, IIRC, but John Astin held out for "Gomez."

A Super Booster chopstick retrieval is planned. The Starship will attempt a water "landing" in the Indian Ocean. It's not planned to retrieved but they want it stay on the surface as long as possible to get photos of the heatshield tiles and thermal seals. To learn this design iteration held-up in reentry.
I'll try to do a tiny bit of what Ciampino routinely does on launch info, in his absence.

A guy I knew in college was drafted; when his group piled off the bus and lined up they were told to count off and every fifth (or maybe it was tenth) man was told to fall out and join another line because they were now in the Marine Corps. This would have been '70 or '71. The Corps may not have particularly wanted draftees, but if they were short enough on numbers now and then I imagine they'd have taken 'em.

If you've seen Indian numbers written out, that's extra funny.
One lakh isn't written 100,000. It's written 1,00,000. One crore is 1,00,00,000.
We have new names for numbers for every multiple of 1000 (thousand, million, billion, etc), and write numbers with commas every 3 places to match that. Indian numbers do that for the first one, then switch to a new name for every multiple of 100, and put commas in to match that pattern.

I noticed that one of the orders from the Indian court was that theaters publish the actual start time of the feature. That should be mandated here, maybe under existing truth in advertising laws. Run the trailers after the feature. Many movie fans might stay and watch the trailers, in order to be able to exit when the aisles are less crowded.

One of my great nephews is engaged to a girl who is ethnically half Mexican, half Palestinian. Born here. His airheaded mother has been telling me she's half Persian. Both start with a "P", don't you know, so how was she to remember which was which, oh, and they're both Arab countries, so what's the difference? 🙄🙄🙄 Why yes, she's an elementary school teacher in California, why ever do you ask?
Anyway, the young lady seems very nice. Very laid back, polite, dry humor. Haven't met her mother, but my SIL says she's also very nice. Barely any accent and very well dressed, she says they're very well off and she doesn't think they're in the least bit religious, because they're constantly doing things on Sunday. 😵💫She wasn't sure about Friday and wondered why I asked. 😶😶

The YF-21 not only could transform through the typical three modes, in fighter mode it possessed the Mission Adaptive Wing, thrust vectoring, and could be in all three modes controlled by the pilot's thoughts alone.

The Wiki article on Frederick Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby, is pretty interesting. He was a pretty accomplished guy, and well respected both in England and in Canada. Stanley Park in Vancouver was named for him, and dedicated by him.

Hubby had another episode today: agitated. Obsessing about "going home" and nothing, but nothing, would dissuade or distract. Ugh! He cannot come home, as it would be unsafe for both of us.

Oh dear oh dear. I've seen those sudden obsessions with "going home" but usually they are a passing or intermittent thing. I've seen very skilled and patient caretakers calm clients down with ice cream, a comfortable chair over here, whatever.

1. Surely there is a sane forum on the Web somewhere where you can chat with people who've been there and done that. You need advice from experienced normal people and families. This is not only about misery loving company. This is about reaching an educated decision.
2. Once you've made a decision to do whatever is right, stick to it.
3. This is not your fault. It's very important that you tell yourself that.
4. Remember that no matter how outwardly different your husband has become, inside somewhere, invisible to all of us, is the same soul that was there from the beginning. Just do the best you can for it under the circumstances.

I have joined other forums. I have read every medical website and article I could find, ever since hub's diagnosis 4 years ago. The doctors said *then* that he had less than 6 months. Well, here we are! But I think it's 'for real' now...
Up until the end of January, I was managing it all while hubby kept slipping mentally and finally couldn't handle him anymore.
Sorry if I've overstepped a boundary. Just seems some people are allowed to talk about problems, but maybe I'm not one of them?

My cousin's mother left this life in a similar manner. The moment Cuz knew Mom needed full time care is when she got loose and went up and down the street for some sugar and eggs to make cookies. Degree of difficulty: she was stark naked. It took a few months for things to calm down in the neighborhood.

Gracious, no! I think it's just a matter of who is still up this time of night/morning. You keep right on talking about whatever you need to - I flit in and out at this time, but I always end up reading what you write. Sometimes you have already gone to bed by the time I check back in, so I don't always reply.
You keep right on telling us what is going on - goodness knows you need to talk to someone about stuff, just to keep from going nuts! Love you, and think about you often 😊😊😊
Do they think that the dementia is related to the liver disease, or are they mutually exclusive?

Keep posting here my friend, this is what kept me sane for the longest time.
I went to the Texas MOME for the first time in 2021. I was at wit's end, lied to my kids about what I was doing because they wouldn't understand. I needed to get away and the Horde had become my online family night after night.
It was the very best thing that I have ever done for myself. The Horde is real, and it is spectacular. I have never met a more genuine and caring group of people in my life, many of whom I call friends.
Keep posting and keep the faith!!!

The dementia is definitely related to liver disease. His liver is no longer able to filter out toxins, particularly ammonia, that affect mental processes. That's why he is now incontinent and losing his reasoning abilities.
Lactulose & rifaximin help, by flushing out or preventing the formation (respectively) of ammonia in the digestive tract. They worked very well, at first. Now? Less. And less.

If this is about my comment, I meant nothing but to suggest advice which I have no idea whether you've done until now or not. You have my full sympathy. If my tone was misunderstood, attribute it to my poor writing skills.
I speak from slight experience only. My mother's last year went deeper and deeper into dementia. I watched her slip away every day.

One could guess that liver failure is liver failure, regardless of cause?
When hubby was first diagnosed, Dr. said "get your affairs in order. Now." Will, P of A, Advance directive, etc. before the dementia made it impossible.
