Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - August 19, 2025 [scampydog]
Been waiting for this one to drop. Whiny article. J-6 FBI Investigator fired.
Former top South Carolina FBI official Steven Jensen, who was promoted to lead the prestigious Washington field office in March, was fired this week because of his work investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to multiple news reports. Jensen was fired because he participated in and helped lead investigations into the thousands of people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to reports by CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post.*** And the 10/10 portion of the story.
Since he was fired after serving 19 years and four months (according to his Linked In profile), he won’t be eligible for an FBI pension, which comes after serving 20 years, federal officials familiar with the FBI told The State.

Cities and their architecture. I’m no expert in architectural styles. Dogs chase their tails, after all - but most of us know what we like when we see it. Art Deco, Gothic, Brutalist, Spanish, etc. What about you? Which styles catch your eye, and in which cities do you most enjoy the architecture? International flair America!
Solid advice. Should be ignored however, in the comments.

It all started with one woman’s brain back in the 1990s. She was 81 when she died, and researchers were doing a routine examination of her donated brain tissue. They figured they’d find the usual stuff – protein clumps, damaged cells, all the wear and tear that comes with eight decades of living. Instead, they found something that made them do a double-take. Her brain looked almost identical to someone 30 years younger. Where they expected to see dozens of protein tangles gumming up her memory circuits, they found just one. One single tangle in her entire memory center.Now if they can figure out how to make the body look like a 30-year old. ***
So what do they all have in common? They’re incredibly social people. SuperAgers are the ones hosting dinner parties, volunteering at local organizations, maintaining close friendships, and staying deeply connected to their communities. They genuinely enjoy being around other people and rate their relationships way more positively than typical agers.

According to GoDaddy's survey of 1,500 U.S. consumers, only 20% of respondents say customer service has improved recently, compared to 42% who perceive a decline in the quality of service received. Among Gen X and Boomers, pessimism is particularly pronounced: just 12% say customer service has improved and 46% believe it has worsened. In contrast, 29% of Gen Z and 31% of Millennials say support has gotten better, suggesting the next generation of shoppers is more positive about the state of customer care. "The generational divide is striking. Young consumers are more likely to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, but they also have higher expectations for speed, flexibility and friendliness," said GoDaddy Small Business Trends Expert Amy Jennette.

Where I grew up in the Yellowstone valley, they rotate crops between sugar beets and sweet corn. The sweet corn is so sweet that we used to pick the ears off the stock in the field and eat it right there. Pure bliss, no need for butter or salt.

The local beer, Quilmes, wasn't too bad, either. Always order the Grande bottle, 22 oz, I think it was.
Another recommendation is the pizza. Somewhere after WWII, they got some good Italian cooks, besides all those nazis. I went to a place that had a portrait of Walt Disney eating there from the 1940's. I have no idea why Walt was in B.A. then, but I thought it was cool I was eating in a tablecloth restaurant having a pizza, just like Walt. Good pie. Saw a group of ladies of a certain age out for lunch sharing a pie. 'Los Immortales', in the Recoleta District.

At points in time in history, you could travel from Paris to Rome, and along the way the language would slowly morph from French to Mostly French to half French/half Italian until it was full Italian. Language evolves. It's evolution is a bit different these days as folks aren't as isolated, so changes in language are more like the spread of a viral pathogen.

That was tonight's dinner. Cob of Taber peaches and cream corn, on the top rack of the grill, with the marinated steak on the lower rack. Yummy! Taber, in the south of Alberta, has a climate region conducive to growing sweet corn, potatoes, and sugar beets. Come corn harvest, you will find trucks selling Taber corn in small towns, and on the corners of mall parking lots in the cities.
Little-known factoid: There are two micro-climate zones in Northern Alberta where delicious sweet corn is grown, the valleys of the Peace River, and of the Smoky River, a major tributary to the Peace. Both rivers run through deep canyons, and the canyon walls trap the Sun's heat and create a micro-climate conducive to corn growing. A few hundred acres in each case/

My 95-yr old mother is back in the hospital again. She got another nose bleed, and as we feared, her platelets had crashed again, down to 14K/uL.
All her other blood values are normal, so this looks like what that call ITP, an autoimmune attack on the platelets. Apparently, this is a thing that can happen when one is very much 29. They've got her back on immunoglobulin and steroids, which will get them back up. But this is apparently going to be a long term problem.

So, President Trump wanted to know if the CIA, the DIA, or the FBI was the the best. So he released a rabbit in the woods and demanded to see who could find it.
The CIA went first. They trained birds and squirrels to be informants, and questioned all the rocks and trees, and came back three weeks later, claiming the rabbit never existed in the first place.
The DIA went next. They put the forest to the torch, put out the stumps, and returned three weeks later, claiming the rabbit must surely have burned along with the rest.
Finally, the FBI goes, and returns nearly immediately with a bloody, battered bear who says "ok, you've got me! I'm the rabbit!"

So what do they all have in common? They’re incredibly social people. SuperAgers are the ones hosting dinner parties, volunteering at local organizations, maintaining close friendships, and staying deeply connected to their communities."
All good activities, but someone that dies at 81 is NOT a SuperAger. Her brain was OK, but she is dead at 81. Still I guess, having a good brain at death at 81 is better than many forms of dementia beginning at 79 or so (maybe), even if on lives to 95?

I guess it depends on perspective. I'm pretty sure the city "leadership" was hoping for enough of a hit that it will wash away a lot of their human debris while simultaneously providing a stage for the theater of suffering through an Apocalypse greater than all the Seals, Bowls and Trumpets combined so that they can guilt America into giving them a trillion dollars to rescue them.
Just like who they grifted the hell out of Super Storm Sandy.

Lead Singer Michael Hutchence died in an auto-asphyxiation thing, and the band went away for a while.
When they came back, it was via a great reality TV show to find a new lead singer.
Here's a clip from their search:

The guy that won did too much cocaine and they kicked him out of the band, twice.

Maine does them best although we punch above our weight. Most people call them clam bakes but we always called them lobster bakes cause lobster.
This is kind of a touristy version but this is what we grew up doing. There's corn in their playing a supporting role but cooked like this it is pretty spectacular.

Back then, though they were fairly old, there were still some of the Graf Spee crewmen as waiters. The guy we had definitely had a very thick German accent.
According to a Yelp entry, Mengele used to dine there when he visited from his secret life in Paraguay. Pretty wild.
Kicked myself forever for not doing a story on it after. Wasn't widely known at the time, when I checked around (the Graf Spee crew part). And I was doing some articles during my travels in that period. And the locals who brought me there were aviation journalists.

1) did they confirm no-one pulled a hoax?
2) maybe all the damage (after you control for booze, drugs, smoking, etc) is because society forces people to act extraverted when they're not? Maybe an introvert who's allowed to act like an introvert without people nagging them to get out and meet people, would have similar results?

We did have some peaceful protests here in Anchorage when Trump and Putin were in town (protests here are always peaceful, mainly because everyone is armed to the teeth -- we don't play that burn, loot, murder shit here). The worst thing was that some dipshit vandalized a gate sign at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
He's been caught and jailed. Photo here:

Doesn't look at all like the type, amiright?
LOL!
In another article, the Anchorage Daily News (which has long been called, UNaffectionately, the Daily Worker) claimed there was a massive anti-Trump rally. And yet, somehow, when I passed one of the protest locations there were easily 5x as many Trump supporters than communists. Weird, huh?
Trump carried this state by nearly 15 points. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to decide which version is more likely to be accurate.

In cigars Sumatra leaf is very popular, but most of it is grown in the New World (Ecuador mostly), so it's technically "Sumatra seed" leaf.
Manual burr grinder? Sounds interesting. Probably will need a burr grinder if I get a good espresso machine.
For French press, a pretty coarse grind is called for, right? Can a burr grinder do a coarse grind (obviously haven't read into grinders)?

Tribalist bastard!!!!
in the Lakota language, buffalo is referred to as "tȟatȟáŋka", while in the Cheyenne language, it is called "vóóhko".
1
Additionally, the Blackfoot language has specific terms for buffalo, such as "iinii" for the male and "tarha" for the female.
1
The Navajo language uses "ayani" for buffalo, and the Cherokee language has its own term, "yansi".
2
These terms not only identify the animal but also carry deep cultural and spiritual meanings within the communities that use them

Little Debbie used to be like the mafia with the local grocery stores. One of the local managers got to talking about that. If you wanted to sell Little Debbie, they had requirements about product placement. They demanded primo locations in the store, and had rules about no competition could allowed next to their displays. And their own people would come out and arrange and stock the displays.
That appears to have changed now, and I see rival brands right next to Little Debbie now, including the Food Lion store brands. I think Covid and the mess there was the main driver. And now, they just ain't puttin' up with Little Debbie's shit any more.

For sure. My family was a Folger's family when I was a kid, and so was I until Serious Gourmet Shit coffee became a thing.
About 15 years ago I forgot to buy more beans, so I hustled (more like crawled) down the nearby convenience store and bought a bag of Folger's.
Got home, made a pot, dumped it out, and forced myself to trek to a real coffee shop.
My theory is that the company went on the skids after the last Folger died (if I'm not mistaken, the sole heiress was Abigail Folger, who got murdered by the Manson family). Took a decade or two to rot away completely, but rot it did.

Spoon it into the pastry, cover with another piece, seal the edges, and drop that sucker in a deep fryer.
I'll have to try it the next time I get up the gumption to break out the deep fryer. I usually try to make something like donuts when the oil is fresh. Then I fry a package of bacon in it. After that, french fries or tots, which get a luscious bacon flavoring.

I'll make corned beef hash or a 'b-b-q' sliced Spam cooked with vinegar and brown sugar (then make sammiches).
Lazy food. Also Mom food. Quick because she worked.
Those two canned meats are nostalgia for me.
Now the other canned meats I liked, I now make: Chicken salad/deviled ham/roast beef spread.
In college, just about every kind of tinned meat product was snack food as no refrigeration was required. Some nights, the tinned meat with crackers was better than the cafeteria.

They used to be really good. Now they fry them in shit it seems. Back in the 80's we would get the munchies and go to mcdonalds. We would get a large strawberry shake, a large french fry, and 2 apple pies each.

I remember when the first shipment of Lucky Strike Reds arrived at the store. I was counting cartons when the Luckies popped up. I swear "Lucky Strike LSMFT" was the first thing to come to mind. Menthols, too. The old guys started buying 'em

Both our parents bought crackers, cheap food. We had a stockpile.
Even the best one, the Baco-s, or whatever. Bacon-flavored oval crackers. The best. Topped with a squirt of canned cheese.
I wouldn't touch that today.

Thorium was used for lantern mantles, I read that in Europe the mantle business in one firm was just a side gig. Their main product was thorium toothpaste. Oops.
Radium was the wonder isotope for a while. Watches, clocks, illuminated everything on equipment. Even the numbers on your house. And then all the factory workers started dying horrible deaths

Best way, it soooo much cheaper, better tobacco too. With the right machine I could make a full pack faster than I could go around the corner to buy them. It wasn't even $1 a pack to do it.

Whoa, whoa. What is the beer vending machine you speak of. And why has it been excluded from my lifetime? Was in San Diego a lot in the early 90's. No such vending at that time.

Figures, as Joe Friday would say. Sounds she tried the plot of a Columbo episode where she tried to pretend she mistook the victim for a burglar entering her bedroom.

Was in BE/E school in San Diego, living in the barracks in late 79... and yes, there was ONE Beer Vending Machine at the PO Barracks... we were not supposed to use it... but... being 20...
Was over at the old NTC site... where the old boot camp was... now gone apparently.

I am put in mind of the cop telling the protestor she could choose to eat a salad. Fuck. Who eats like that? I bet she rides a lard cart at Walmart.
Meanwhile, I'm eating fresh veggies out of the garden. This week the beans came in, so I will be canning a bunch of them. Tomatoes are nearly done, but we had some tonight along with a bit of lettuce, and I just put 4 gallons of raspberries in the freezer.

To be born again,
Wanting, the saddest kind of pain
Waiting for the day when I will crawl away
Nothing is what I feel
Waiting for the drugs to make it real
Waiting for the day when I will crawl away
Waiting to be disciplined
Aching for your nails across my skin
Waiting for the day when I will crawl
Waiting for the day when I will crawl away
