Saturday Night "Club ONT" May 10, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Saturday Night Jokes for Mother's Day What did the panda give his mommy? A bear hug. How do you keep little cows quiet, so their mommy can sleep late? Use the moooooote button. What kind of flowers are best for Mother's Day? Mums. What did the tree tell her son before a big game? I'm rooting for you. Why was the mother firefly so happy? Because her children were all so bright. Why does the mom kangaroo hate rainy days? Because the kids have to play inside. Silence is golden. Unless you have kids, then silence is suspicious. When your teenager asks for personal space and you remind her that she came out of your personal space. Motherhood is like a fairy tale but in reverse. You begin in a beautiful ball gown and end up in stained rags cleaning up after people.

Or, for morons who can read, the reddit post: tinyurl.com/yc6w96w3
To sum up, Unity is spying on developers to see if all the loysences are current. Since individual coders traipse in and out of companies, data can go stale.
Unity as usual has the philosophy Fuck You Pay Me. Unity decides how many loysences you use (whether or not they're on staff, or are even using them) and Unity decides how many loysences you own (whatever you've paid).
It is also of concern that Unity is counting use by people not involved on this project and billing it to the project. Sounds like double dipping. Never mind the privacy concerns of snooping on people working on Unity Personal (so, what, you can't tweak some function on your spare time without getting dinged?).

I wondered at the time if the band did any of the work or if it was all just Sting.
So, later, I picked up "Synchronicity" itself - cassette - and played it in the car. First "Synchronicity" song was good. A couple of mediocre trax. Then... "Mother".
What a cringefest that was. Embarrassed me in front of the whole family. I could have let off a lingering eggy fart and it would have gone better.

I'm back at last from the "Champagne Stroll" along the lovely (/sarc) uptown avenue. Not bad, for the first ninety minutes. After that it got crowded and dull. I've seen most of these shops, and in many cases the exact same artwork in the galleries, before.
I'd have enjoyed the trip better if I'd installed myself with a book and a pipe at the pipe and cigar shop, and let Linda roam. But a woman alone, well, it's not as safe a world as it used to be; so I felt I needed to be along.
Svengoolie has been showing 1977's The Kingdom of the Spiders with Bill Shatner. This was two years before he did the first Trek movie, and eight after the TV series had ended. Like Robert Vaughn of the same generation, he kept working; he was a pro.

The war on dandelions continues apace. I hate those bastards. I have been deporting them without mercy or habeus corpus.
I am now farming lavender, sage and lemon balm. Also a nice crop of tomatoes, peppers and cukes in the hothouse. The hascaps are leafed out and the bees are attending them nicely. Many of the various raspberries are leafing out, and I cleaned out five beds of strawberries.
Now, a cocktail and a visit to the hot tub. Then, leftover tacos from last night. Tomorrow, blueberry bushes and Mass and... I have no idea what else. A lovely sunny weekend in paradise.

Once again, this is Ciampino's daughter who does our cat fund.
Just letting you know that Dad is back in the hospital. One of our cats scratched his leg by accident this morning and because of blood thinners, he was bleeding profusely. This of course is not unusual, but the bleeding was the worst I had ever seen.
This afternoon he got dizzy and collapsed on my computer table, thankfully into a sitting position. Called my sister at work and the ambulance. Luckily for him that I have respiratory failure and therefore I have oxygen at home.
We hooked him up to my O2 machine while waiting for the ambulance.
Nurse said he lost 5 units of blood, dehydrated and possible sepsis. He's in critical condition. He is getting blood transfusions, antibiotics, steroids, fluids and breathing treatments. Their ICU is full, so he may be transferred to their sister hospital in another town about 25 miles away.
Sorry this was so long.

Back in '70, my college roommate and I somehow ended up at a concert in Chicago. The band was Poco (following Neil Young).
We were in the upper stratosphere balcony of the Auditorium Theater. In that big, beautiful well-built palace, this was a rickety level that looked like it had been added as an afterthought for the poverty classes.
The place was packed, and although the band looked like tiny insects 'way down on the stage, it was loud. The balcony was packed, and the whole crowd started stomping along with the music.
My friend and I looked at each other and obviously were thinking the same thing, as we edged to the back of the balcony and stood near the exit door, just in case the whole think should pancake.
Guess those kids never heard about not marching in lockstep across a bridge.
The balcony did not collapse. Somehow. But kids weren't all overweight in those days…

1. The 3 day Victory Day ceasefire held up fairly well, for being unilateral on Russia's part. Still plenty of fighting in numerous sectors, but Ukraine got a break from being pummeled with drones and missiles.
2. The Euroweenies have finished negotiating with themselves, and the US is going to present Russia with a demand for a 30 day ceasefire. The demand will include 22 (!) points, one of which is a solemn pinky swear that Ukraine will not join NATO, for now, maybe. The Russians will get 24 hours to respond, and if they don't, they will get hit with even more economic sanctions, by golly!
3. In the areas where the fighting did not pause, the Russians continued to grind forward.

You could quite easily build a wheeled ground drone with stuff bought at Harbor Freight. Or take a pair of E-scooters, bridge them with a platform loaded with Tannerite, rig a radio control...
Not suggestion we all, or any, of us go out and build one, but the tech is is home-workshop friendly.

Got out of prison.

But before I could get her
In my pickup

She got run over by a damned old train!"

I wrote a song about "Momma," not necessarily my mom, but good moms in general, how they try to steer us, how they really shape us. Decades ago, I tried to play it for my mom. She took the early verses badly, walking out of the room before the good and redeeming verses. Never did try to perform it for her ever again. 💟🥹
On that note, g'nite, y'all.

The witness (priest) is hearing the information firsthand. Hearsay is a protection of the defendant having the right to cross-examine his accuser in court, which is why a witness relaying a third-party's words isn't allowed.

No it ain't, but you might get 15 hours Community Service, if convicted by a Jury of your Peers, and any jury in this county has at least one or two cousins, Uncles, Aunts, or former Sunday School teachers..

School group, don't remember what, had an interview with selected convicts at the prison. Smoking and semi-formal dress (sport coats) was most common. We would go in with open packs of cigarettes in every pocket.
Ask a convict if he wanted a smoke, we'd light up then set the pack on the table. Rinse and repeat.

Also got on the riding mower, and did a few circuits.
