Monday Overnight Open Thread (02/02/26)
Quote I “It was a call for reflection on the role nurses play in ensuring health for all and a reminder that we are all united not only in grief today but also in hope for a better and more just tomorrow.” Penn Nursing Dean Antonia Villarruel
Quote II So the low-IQ types from Moronstan are winning, and the smart guys are exiting the stage of history. The average inbred Somali appears to know enough - unlike, say, an NPR-listening lesbian - not to attempt to mow down the most heavily armed constabulary on the planet. Mark Steyn
A federal appeals court tossed out a Justice Department misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg. AS previously reported, DC Chief Judge James Boasberg and other DC Judges admitted bias against the Trump Administration during a March 2025 judicial conference with Chief Justice Roberts, according to a memo obtained by The Federalist.

The Climate Question -The Climate Question
What is climate anxiety and how can you cope with it?
Topline: Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander claims one of the city’s health insurance funds has “no path to solvency” after labor unions used it to cover pay raises, Weight Watchers and more. Key facts: New York’s taxpayer-funded Health Insurance Stabilization Fund owes $3.1 billion to outside vendors and the city that it’s unable to pay. The actual amount is likely much higher because expenses from 2024 and 2025 have not been totaled yet, according to Lander’s Dec. 30 audit. The fund was created in 1985 to help employees afford the city’s Group Health Insurance (GHI) plan, a more costly alternative to the older Health Insurance Plan (HIP).
As a resident of the Frozen Tundra I have had my fair share of ice-capades. And I'm a firm believer in calcium chloride liberally applied to anything remotely looking like asphalt or concrete. What happens when you don't? Just ask the Germans.
Berlin Hospitals Struggle to Treat Hundreds of Falls During Winter Freeze Because Environmental Laws Forbid Use of Salt on Sidewalks Repeated snowfall and freezing rain have coated the open-air insane asylum known as Berlin in a thin sheet of slippery ice since the beginning of January. To spare plants, city environmental laws have long forbidden using salt on pedestrian paths and stairways, and so residents have been falling and injuring themselves at such high rates that emergency rooms have had trouble keeping up:A contributing factor to many elderly deaths is the broken hip.

I love Mark Steyn and he's in the top 5 list of men I'd marry if I were not already married and he wasn't. We used to correspond when I had an alias and could freewheel like a loon in the Internets. He posted some of my stuff and signed books for me and we had a thing going.
I am unsure but think he may have insulted this blog by comparing us to MN by mentioning Moronstan.However, I get his point and agree with him, as always.

Need further details. Were the demands for Pepsi the actual harassment, or was he harassing while taking intermittent breaks to demand a Pepsi?
Inquiring minds want to know.

But no one was stealing billions and billions of dollars while in office or as imported replacement voters and telling the rest of the country that there is nothing wrong with it.

Probably just stealing millions, as the budgets of Medicare and Medicaid began exploding. As to the question of replacement voters, that was the reason behind Ted Kennedy's bill to open up immigration. Pretty well telegraphed.

How many judges did Biden appoint? Seems like Everytime a Democrat gets caught breaking the law they run to a judge that Biden appointed. And Everytime that judge tosses the case out. This isn't justice it's injustice. Those judges need to be kicked off the bench with no appeal.

I buy my salt from Petco because they sell stuff that doesn't harm the paws of the puppehs. It's a problem, because there is so way my dog will wear booties and when he steps on regular salt, he ends up hopping on 3 paws and stopping to lick the salt off, which is not good.

Artemis II dress rehearsal continues. The closeout crew is in the white room now simulating and practicing the hatch closing and sealing. Somebody screwed something up and opened a valve they shouldn't, and that delayed something.
So the simulated countdown is on hold until they finish.

"Blocked from allowing the status to expire" or ordering them to proactively extend?
Ummm. OK. We won't "end it", we will let it simply expire as it had previously been set to do.

To spare plants, city environmental laws have long forbidden using salt on pedestrian paths and stairways, and so residents have been falling and injuring themselves at such high rates that emergency rooms have had trouble keeping up:
__________________________
Das Germans sure wouldn't appreciate how New Hampshire handled ice and snow conditions when I was up there. Two feet of snow...no biggie, roads were clear the next day. Plowed, and sprayed with some chemical concoction of which no one is willing to ask specific questions relating to what it actually is. It just worked.
And, it also created six foot area of brownage along every road 12 months out of the year. But, the roads were cleared almost immediately, so screw the grass.

Das Germans sure wouldn't appreciate how New Hampshire handled ice and snow conditions when I was up there. Two feet of snow...no biggie, roads were clear the next day. Plowed, and sprayed with some chemical concoction of which no one is willing to ask specific questions relating to what it actually is. It just worked.

41 “It was a call for reflection on the role nurses play in ensuring health for all and a reminder that we are all united not only in grief today but also in hope for a better and more just tomorrow.” Penn Nursing Dean Antonia Villarruel
So, you're saying you stand with criminals. Got it.
..........................................
I saw last weekend a bunch of sad wimmen in mourning. I think it was an organized nurse day of mourning the hero who either was working or wasn't (rumors are around) in MN. Regardless, he spit rudely & kicked a car& then broke a rib being a jackass.
Oddly, in the article, I saw a weird "group" of old school (which I am apparently, but without the cape) nurses in white uniforms and blue capes. I thought wth is this?
Looked them up and they do funerals for nurses, like the Marines. I am unsure if they sing, as I was not that interested. To belong to the wackos, you pay a small one time fee, provide your own white uniforms and white hose, and sew your cape from a Simplicity pattern. Which would automatically put me at odds because I ain't sewing that and going to funerals.
I just thought y'all needed to know this. This trend will probably not spread.

There's a huge problem with our judiciary. It was ignored by Trump and his administration... thinking "law and order" would prevail. Or they thought something else would tip the proverbial scales in their favor.
They were wrong.
He and his administration should have dealt with it on day one. They still haven't figured it out. It could be the administration's biggest failure.
And it stands a reasonable chance of fucking us over if it's not dealt with.

BREAKING: DC based federal judge Ana Reyes (Biden appointee) has just blocked DHS from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000+ Haitians in the U.S. whose legal status was set to expire *tomorrow*, which would have opened them up to deportation and a loss of their work authorizations.

SOLUTION: Round up all 350,000+ Haitians, drop them off on her front lawn and inform her that she is now *personally* responsible for their welfare. Food, clothing, shelter, education, medical care, etc. It all comes out of her pocket.

"And it stands a reasonable chance of fucking us over if it's not dealt with."
"It" has been damaging the country, and society, for decades. Judicial usurpation, arrogance, and domination by low-IQ types.
I recall the absurd, unprofessional, slanderous, and totally baseless and irrelevant commentary by the district judge who froze the first "Muslim ban" (narrator: it wasn't, of course, anything like a "Muslim ban") in the first term. All kinds of idiotic assertions about motive - from a glorified clerk, i.e. a judge - about things and people far above his understanding and of course ridiculously outside his actual power or competence.
I said to friends back then, in 2017, that the failure to repudiate that indefensible lawless act by a cretin "judge" was a potential game-changer. And here we are, where it's 90% worse.

The Babylon Bee just dropped a fucking thermonuclear truth disguised as satire, and it’s so surgically precise it’s carving straight through Hollywood’s rotten core.
“Pedophiles At Grammys Rally Against Trump Deporting Their Own Kind”
Read that again.
Let it sink in. They didn’t miss. They didn’t soften it.
They went straight for the jugular of an industry that’s spent decades shielding predators behind awards shows, private jets, and “artistic genius” excuses.
These glitter-covered ghouls clutch their statues on stage while the casting couch runs red with the blood of innocence.
They weep for “immigrant rights” not out of compassion...fuckkkkkk no.
It’s self-preservation. It’s terror that the same policies dragging criminal aliens back across the border might one day drag their own degenerate brethren out of the mansions and into the light.
Hollywood isn’t broken. It was built this way.
A machine that chews up children and spits out traumatized husks, all while lecturing the rest of us about ethics.
And when someone finally points at the emperor’s shriveled, naked dick? They scream “hate speech.”

Mpls was offering counseling and such for city employees at the outset of the stupid lawless idiocy the city will forever be remembered for (the 2025 version, not 2020). The State Dept. under Biden offered counseling for staff during some int'l crisis or something. Just pathetic confirmation of what an unserious empty-headed therapeutic society many "Americans" now inhabit.
Wondering if there will be counseling for "conservative" "influencers" and Obama and the Dems and most of the brainless Beltway foreign policy blob if the US acts and it results in the end of the vile mullahcracy in Iran?

The NY Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is carrying approximately $48 billion in total long-term debt, which is expected to rise to nearly $57 billion by 2028-2030. Debt service payments alone exceed $3 billion annually, consuming a significant portion of their operating budget to fund infrastructure, subway, and bus maintenance.

Fun Fact: The (one of a few) scheduled replacement for the B-52, the B-70 iirc, only two were ever built. One was a victim of a mid-air with an F-104 during a photo shoot. The other flew a little bit for NASA, and went straight to the museum in Dayton. Another 1.3 Billion down the drain
The B-52 is a workhorse for sure.

They've got the outer hatch closed now. That little snafu delayed things considerably. They were planning on two "terminal countdowns", going from T-10m down to about T-33s, the point where the automated internal system would take over. They get down there, then recycle back to T-10m and do it again.
They're only going to do one terminal countdown now because of the delay.

How much of the airframe, and the plane components, what is original to these B-52?
The airframe is the original with repairs and updates as required over the decades. We only have B-52H models now, built between 1960 and 1963 (essentially); the engines are TF-33s just as delivered. The aircraft should get new engines in the next few years. The avionics are almost all later, better systems and the wiring is almost all changed during modifications. The basic design is nearly a WW2 fuselage with swept wings to allow slightly faster speeds. These things aren't fast! If the AF wants to fly them another 40 years it could be done.

My late brother would haul me to concerts often & I am grateful. He had great taste in music, and long lasting memories.
He would be offended by me calling him late & argue that he was always on time. Then we'd brawl & be over it in less than five minutes.
He & some friends are why I did not become a Jethro Tull groupie. I usually got my way, but not that night. I still wish I had gone to the after party we were invited to.
Something different from me tonight vs rock and roll. Ethereal. The lyrics are magic with the melody from 1887.
First and last love, I've felt both, and I live with the love I was meant to find in my youth into olde age.

That LH2 leak was apparently fixed. Liquid hydrogen, at -423F is tricky, dangerous stuff. Tiny little molecules that leak through just about anything.
I was just reading. A leaking LH2 valve on the S-IVB (3rd stage) replenish circuit nearly scrubbed the Apollo 11 launch. It started leaking just as Neil Armstrong and the others were headed to the pad to get onboard. They set a "Red team" (these are the hydrogen boys) out to tighten some bonnet bolts. That didn't work and it kept leaking.
So, they ended up improvising. They poured water on the valve to heat it up (and said water froze instantly, but warmed up the valve), blocking it completely, and then manually feathered the main fill valve to replenish it, allowing the launch to go forward.
That was tricky with the main fill valve, because it's normal flow rate was 1200 GPM. Replenish flow is only about 100 GPM.

It started leaking just as Neil Armstrong and the others were headed to the pad to get onboard. They set a "Red team" (these are the hydrogen boys) out to tighten some bonnet bolts. That didn't work and it kept leaking.
So, they ended up improvising. They poured water on the valve to heat it up (and said water froze instantly, but warmed up the valve), blocking it completely, and then manually feathered the main fill valve to replenish it, allowing the launch to go forward.
That was tricky with the main fill valve, because it's normal flow rate was 1200 GPM. Replenish flow is only about 100 GPM.

153 i saw the Allman Brothers when Duane was still alive & kickin in MS and playing Whippin' Post. Before they were huge nationally, and obviously before he was dead.
I used go to see the Allmans every time they came to Boston late 60s -early 70s. I'm guessing I saw them a half dozen times. If I couldn't get anyone to go with me, I would take the train by myself from my hometown. I was about 15. I loved that band!

it seems like the B-52 shouldn't need eight engines this time.
The AF went through a couple of earlier new engine exercises years ago. The problem with adding larger fan engines is ground clearance. The secondary problem, even now, is the basic airspeed limitation of the aircraft. New engines will provide greater reliability (the TF-33 is ancient) and much greater fuel efficiency. So you get 8 whether you want 'em or not!!

Had an unexpected blessing today. Short version. We've had some significant cash outflows over the last year. This weekend, Mrs. Sock and I were reviewing our budget. During that discussion Mrs. Sock pulled out her retirement folder. There was a letter from the state retirement system that I had received two years ago that said I had funds in the retirement system. I had never called because I knew I had pulled out all of my 403b funds in 2021. My wife asked me to check. I was right, I had taken all of the funds, but, but...
Normally, in the state system you have work ten years to qualify for a pension. I knew that. There was one exception. If you were 44 or older during your employment and you worked at least one year past the 5 year vesting schedule, in other words 6 years, you qualified for a monthly pension. I worked 6 years and 1 day. So now I've got an extra $128/month and I'm going to receive a retroactive check for the 24 months from when I turned 65. God is good and my wife gets alot of credit too.

Saw video of presumably the (pathetic and ridiculous) Mpls PD taking down the only "checkpoint" I've actually seen imagery of. Dunno if any arrests, probably not, even though the crimes include kidnapping and other serious felonies, as others have noted.
So this particular accomplishment of the retards has apparently passed into the books.
Just what did Homan get the idiot children of Mpls to agree to?

>>> To be honest, camping gear is expensive. And more than a few Boy Scout Council Camps were sold, so finding places to camp can be difficult, particularly for urban Scouts. But if they can pull it off, more power to them. ~ Eagle Scout w/ Bronze Palm, Ad Altari Dei Award, Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow and 1971 World Jamboree in Japan attendee.

My troop was all the poor kids. We had donated army tents, mil surplus equipment. And we went on trips all over. Things may have been rough but you made it work. All volunteer. Some scout camps. But also a lot of Army/Marine hosted camps which were low cost.

That's something to remember. This is a good argument for a dash cam. Your car is your first weapon. If they surround it and start beating on it, that's when the pistol comes out. I feared for my life your honor. I remember how that kid got shot in Seattle when they were pulling the same crap.

I guess that was then and this is now, with heightened security.
Had a Jampboree at the United States Navy Radio Station Northwest, near Moyock, in northeastern NC.
Also, wearing our uniforms, we were granted a tour (had a lot of Navy active and retired as Scout Leaders) of a Boomer docked in Norfolk at the Sub Piers. Went below deck, where I learned hatches are small - the hard way, and we saw the nuclear missiles in their silos, two rows, many deep. The Bubbleheads said while at sea they jogged around 'Sherwood Forrest' for excercise.
I don't think that could be done today.

I was okay at lashing.
But where I shined was the reflector oven. And hot coals. My Scoutmaster always said he never went hungry when RickZ's patrol was around. We just didn't do weinies on a stick. For the time, we ate well, spaghetti with meat sauce, e.g.. Supplemented with some surplus C-Rats.
Our little campsite we used, now a subdivision in northeastern NC, had a little shooting range. In the summer, we swam in the blackwater small river onto which our campsite abutted; just had to throw rocks/sticks in the water first to scare away the cottonmouths. Never went across the 15 yard wide (?) river as it was salt marsh for another good 15 plus yards with no visible shore. Not so nice critters in that.

I did Cub Scouts and then about a year of Boy Scouts. I was the only one of my friends that went on to Boy Scouts. Their absence and the implosion of my home life during that timeframe more or less prompted me to stop participating.
I doubt BSA can make a real comeback. The society that produced it doesn't exist anymore. The involvement of gays and girls, the way in which independence and self-reliance have been chipped away at for young adults (a term that isn't really even used much anymore with respect to older teens apart from referring to things like YA fiction). We did things as Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts that would send modern helicopter parents into a spin.

Several years ago, I saw a vid of a young Mick Jagger (he was about 11 or 12 or so, and was always called "Mike" by his family) and his father setting up a campsite. Jagger Sr was demonstrating how to set up a tent, build a fire, etc. "Mike" just politely watched for the most part and helped hold gear and fasten stuff. It apparently was a vid they made for UK schools back in the 50's. Young Mike Jagger might have enjoyed camping, but I somehow doubt Mick was ever out there tucked into a sleeping bag.

AS previously reported, DC Chief Judge James Boasberg and other DC Judges admitted bias against the Trump Administration during a March 2025 judicial conference with Chief Justice Roberts, according to a memo obtained by The Federalist.
Trump should push hard to impeach Roberts for failing to oversee the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judges.
Any from the domestic enemy party who fail to vote to impeach in the house or remove in the senate can explain to their rabid domestic enemy constituents why they chose to side with the chief justice of the court that overturned Roe.

Fun Fact: The (one of a few) scheduled replacement for the B-52, the B-70 iirc, only two were ever built. One was a victim of a mid-air with an F-104 during a photo shoot. The other flew a little bit for NASA, and went straight to the museum in Dayton. Another 1.3 Billion down the drain
The B-52 is a workhorse for sure.

I had a cow-orker who crewed on a B-52, and who was stationed at Edwards AFB when the B70 went down. They pulled every warm body they had, lined them with about 10 feet between them, a mile or so wide, up at one end of the crash site and walked them about 10 miles through the desert. They each had a handful of little flag stakes to mark anything they found.

You won't believe this, but the panelists' solution to climate anxiety boiled down to more money from the government....

Its ALWAYS somebody else's money. Its NEVER something THEY are inspired to fix, or fund-raise over.

Which is why, back about 20 years ago.... or was it 30?.... I gave up.my subscrption/membership of Consumer Reports. I love their articles on which refrigerator or potato peeler is superior, etc, but when it came to rating services or anything that you can't physically touch, their invariable response was - a government program. A new law, a new commission, a new bureau; throwing tax dollars at it was the answer to everything. I might have held on if it was only an article or editorial, but they used magazine subscription dollars to finance a lobbying operation in DC, and bragged about it.

....because someone forgot to convert from metric, remember?
I can make that mistake WITHOUT a thesis studying the ways that friction ratios affect steering outcomes in aeronautical use under reduced gravity loads.
And for less than $10 an hour...
Thank God for Elon Musk.

Another great ONT! Thanks for the content, especially the Allman Brothers live version of Whipping Post. That's some serious way-back material!
WRT ice melt, some years ago I read a Scandi alternative to salt. Tried it and it worked so well I never went back to salt.
Mini pine bark nuggets! They provide good traction. Whenever the ice thaws, they float to the top and continue to work during subsequent freeze/thaw cycles. Come springtime, just sweep them aside and they eventually get chopped up by the mower and /or decompose. Not a huge enviro-weenie, but when a common-sense alternative shows up, I tend tend to latch onto it.

Aberlour is one of my favorite scotches. Along with Lagavulin. Speyside vs Islay, I couldn’t tell you what the difference is supposed to be
The former is delicious and the latter is unpotable. I received Lagavile 16 for my birthday years ago and regifted it. It was simply not drinkable. I'd rather have Johnnie Walker red.

Officer responds, finds a guy shit-faced drunk.
"Sir, did you expose yourself?"
"No, ossifer."
Cop checks ID, looks around, sees the initials "SB" written in the snow in piss.
"Sir, your initials are SB. Those initials are SB. Can you explain that?"
"Just a coincidence. A dog did that."
"A dog wrote SB in the snow?"
"Yeah, it was a Saint Bernard."

The basic math is that launching a million tons per year of satellites generating 100 kW of compute power per ton would add 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually, with no ongoing operational or maintenance needs. Ultimately, there is a path to launching 1 TW/year from Earth.

I think Musk wants a trail of satellites and tankers from here to Mars.

...as assistant secretary of the navy, Roosevelt urged preparation of war with Spain to gain control of Cuba.
He sincerely believed that “America’s incorporation of all adjacent lands was the virtually inevitable fulfillment of a moral mission delegated to the nation by Providence itself.”
In 1902, as president, Roosevelt threatened to fire on German warships when they blockaded Venezuela after a debt default. In 1903 he fomented a secessionist revolt against the Colombian government to give America control of Panama.
And, when Canada laid claim to the Yukon coast, Roosevelt warned that it was “going to be ugly” if Canada did not accept that the coast was part of Alaska. (Look at a map. You’ll notice Roosevelt got his way.)

I was in the explorers for little while. At 15 or 16 I thought I was getting too old for boy scouts and figured Explorers sounded like something worth while. The only problem was I wasn't driving, and the meetings were held pretty far from where I lived, so I didn't last. It was hard getting a ride.

SpaceX ... acquired xAI to create ... "the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth."
The reasoning is audacious but logical: AI's hunger for power is insatiable. Terrestrial data centers can't scale fast enough without "imposing hardship on communities and the environment."
The solution? Put the data centers in space.
● Launch 1 million satellites generating 100 kW of compute power per ton
● Add 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually
● No ongoing operational or maintenance costs
● Always sunny in space ☀️
