Sunday Overnight Open Thread - April 13, 2025 [Doof]
Wholesome Content Florida
This is the moment a nine-year-old boy said goodbye to his local trash collector after greeting him every week on the road outside his driveway for years. Noah Carrigan had waited for the same garbage man every Tuesday since he was five – forming a sweet friendship. But when the Florida county government switched to a new waste management company, Noah had to say his final goodbye on March 25. His mother Catherine Carrigan said the tradition began after Noah became fascinated with the big green truck that arrived every week. “It started out as something so simple—he was just fascinated by the garbage truck. “For years, every Tuesday, he would run outside to wave and the garbage man always waved back, honked the horn, and acknowledged him.” *** But, even as he grew older and busier with school, he’d still make time to say hello. In a heartfelt final meeting, Noah handed the sanitary worker a handwritten note and some gifts, along with a bottle of water to thank him for years of kindness. “When we told him it was the last time he’d see the garbage man, he immediately ran inside to write a note and grab some of his old garbage truck toys to give him. “He wanted to say thank you. It was so sweet."More photos and a video at the link.

Definitely wholesome. A bit dusty, too.
Ette Couture presents Easter Dresses and Bonnets, A Celebration of Spring and Style Easter is a season of renewal, and for centuries, it has been marked not only by religious observance but also by the tradition of donning new, vibrant attire. Easter dresses and bonnets have become symbols of the holiday, blending faith, fashion, and the joy of spring. Let’s explore the rich history of this fashion.
New Clothes for a New Season The tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter traces back to early Christian practices in Europe, as early as the 4th century. The notion of new attire was so significant that folklore from the 16th century warned of bad luck for those who didn’t wear something new on Easter Sunday. This belief is even referenced in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (1597), where an “Easter suit” is mentioned, highlighting the custom’s deep roots.
The Victorian Era: Bonnets Bloom and Dresses Shine The 19th century, particularly the Victorian era, was a turning point for Easter fashion. Easter Sunday became an occasion for women to showcase their finest attire, with dresses and bonnets taking center stage.
By the 1870s, the New York City Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue formalized this display, where fashionable women strolled to show off their bonnets after church, turning the event into a social spectacle.
NYC Socialites
Pop Culture The early 20th century saw Easter dresses and bonnets reach new heights of popularity thanks to media and pop culture. Irving Berlin’s 1933 song “Easter Parade” captured the glamour of New York’s Fifth Avenue with the lyrics, “In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, you’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.” Bonnets grew ever more extravagant, sometimes featuring oversized flowers, stuffed birds, or even entire Easter-themed vignettes. Cornelius Vanderbilt with his wife and mother, 1931

If you think complaining about badly behaving people is a recent thing, you would be wrong!
No ‘Ette Couture would be complete without Melania, and I like to think she would appreciate the focus on the 5th Ave. Easter Parade. For her first White House Easter Egg Roll in 2017, Melania wore a baby pink dress by Herve Pierre with pointed Laboutin flats. This year’s event will be held April 21, and I can’t wait to see what dress choices are made!

Well, one night I had to drive through said shitty. It was dark for a city because the street lights were poorly maintained and sure enough as I was doing 25 mph or so I hit one of their new speed bumps. And...I could feel my car get airborne.
I swore as I landed expecting to hear a damaged tire or axle and yet somehow...nothing. No damage. Yay for old American cars I guess.

Then at the beginning of the 1970's it changed to some kind of hippy style floppy hat, and then the whole thing sort of fizzled out.

There was a time not too long ago I'd ride (alone) about 10-15 miles a day on bike/running trails that had been converted from abandoned rail lines. I joined up with a group of cyclists once or twice and what I observed was that the group itself assumed the personality of the rudest, most entitled individual of said group. Nope - not going do it again.

Seems like that way everywhere. Even in red areas the pols are letting their inner despot take over by issuing edicts for 'traffic calming" measures - reducing the number of lanes, light cycles so long you can drive the full distance between lights before the light changes, designated pedestrian cross walks mid block (with the added sped activted signals), and lowering speed limits, sometimes all together.
This even without any noticable traffic count increases with all the new congestion caused by the 'traffic calming'.

Easter baskets and the bunny and all the chocolate crap and candy and eggs were not a priority. Nor with my boys. Easter is about the Risen Christ. Not a bunch of candy and colored eggs and crap.
Sorry. Pisses me off
Easter is about Christ Rising from the dead. Nothing else.

My mom got me and my brother beautiful new clothes to wear for Easter Mass. we had a gorgeous brunch at home afterwards and spent a day together outside. Dinner was lamb.
Easter baskets and the bunny and all the chocolate crap and candy and eggs were not a priority. Nor with my boys. Easter is about the Risen Christ. Not a bunch of candy and colored eggs and crap.
Sorry. Pisses me off
Easter is about Christ Rising from the dead. Nothing else.

Seems like that way everywhere. Even in red areas the pols are letting their inner despot take over by issuing edicts for 'traffic calming" measures - reducing the number of lanes, light cycles so long you can drive the full distance between lights before the light changes, designated pedestrian cross walks mid block (with the added sped activted signals), and lowering speed limits, sometimes all together.
This even without any noticable traffic count increases with all the new congestion caused by the 'traffic calming'.

But here in town there is an intersection of two two-lane roads which get a lot of traffic, especially at rush hour. I remember when it was a four-way stop. Traffic in one direction would back up for a mile. Later, they put in stoplights, but no matter how you timed them, there was a backup one direction or another.
One solution would be to widen the roads to permit left-turn lanes and the complicated stoplight sequences that entailed. Significant private property would be annexed, including a significant portion of a golf course.
I had my doubts when they turned it into a roundabout, but - aside from the occasional idiot who doesn't know how to yield - it has worked very well. No place else in town needs one, but it works.

I have seen one where there are dedicated right turn lanes that bypass the circle completely, but not on all four ways into it. And the same circle has markings that say you have to exit if in the outer lane of the circle, but not at all four exits.
The only 'rule'worth remembering is that some guy on the inner lane may cut you off to exit if you are in the outer lane... Not that you have to be in the outer lane to exit.

China has suspended exports of certain rare earth minerals and magnets to the US and around the world.
China is drafting a new regulatory approach to the minerals to prevent them reaching American companies

Important to note that what matters is the ability to refine rare earth elements (which are NOT actually meaningfully rare) and manufacture magnets for use in electric motors.
...
As with lithium, what China has that others lack is the heavy industry of refining the minerals

Thought about write-ups but I don't have much of a sense for the nuances. Tends to be, "Like It" or "Meh". Construction and burn behavior I can get more into.
La Bomba I guess was one of the first extra-strong cigars. Inside the box is a big warning label that its not for newbies...
I really like the Man O' War product line. So I guess that my preference is towards the full bodied... and on sale.
Did consider doing a 'cheap cigars... cheap' write-up. But not much of a writer. Maybe a series on Victor Sinclair next time I see their combo pack on sale... "And the maduro, it tastes like a maduro... a little squishy..."
Also like some of the mild cigars too though.

This reminds me of a joke:
Two brunettes and a blonde were in an obstetrician's waiting room when they started talking about their pregnancies. The first brunette mentions that she was on top when she conceived, so she was going to have a baby girl. The other brunette says that her husband was on top, so she was expecting a boy. The blonde woman got a puzzled look on her face for a moment, then started to cry. "What’s wrong?" one of the brunettes asked.
Through her tears, the blonde said, "I'm going to have a puppy!"

@DataRepublican
Apr 13
Over the last few months, we've come to a realization that should have landed much harder: NGOs weren't just adjacent to government, they were the parallel government. We were shocked. I was too. But looking back, it's exactly what you'd expect. NGOs operate outside the chain of command. They answer to no electorate, no oversight, no public mandate. They can push any agenda they choose without accountability.
So the real question isn't how this happened, or even why. The real question is: why were we surprised? The moment Biden took office, the plan was already in motion. NGOs had the infrastructure, the logistics, the funding pipelines; everything ready to go. They didn't need permission. They just needed power. And when they got it, they had it all set up from day 1: overnight, we were flooded with illegal immigrants under the cover of a coordinated strategy that had been waiting in the wings.

In memory of the New Dawn
Posted by: Miklos
===============
Jim had a boat called New Dawn, and his signoff used to be:
Jim
New Dawn
Then came one of Galveston's storms (I believe), and his signoff changed. Poetic.

Maybe +/- 10 years ago there were video clips where folks would get into the game physics parameters and play around with them. Like taking friction coefficients or elasticity of impacts and making them ludicrous. Gave amusing result in the vids.
And the ridiculously oversized speed bump would be a clue that this was having fun with 'gamisms'.

There was such a thing as a Gremlin with a 304 V8. A few dealers offered a 401 swap as all AMC V-8s were the same block. When I was a teen I knew someone who had a 304 Gremlin. It was quick for the time, but pretty nose heavy and hard to keep straight in snow.

Nor any bottles of Lancer's, which was some kind of wine-like product.
I do have some Pinaud's Bay Rum, and will use that, if I ever shave.

As an 'ette, I will bow out. Manly men may do manly man things, and I will cheer them on, but for me, I will continue to tend the greenhouse and serve should said men return in need of refreshment.

Grandfathers and Grandmothers agree. Only this case.
Grandfathers drink own wine, argue and cheat at cards.
Grandmothers discuss All Things.
