Saturday Night Club ONT - October 31, 2026 [Disco & Dino]
-----
Ingredients
2 cups tomato juice
8 oz. vodka
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. horseradish
2 tsp. hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
1/2 lemon, juiced
Freshly ground black pepper Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine tomato juice, vodka, Worcestershire, horseradish, hot sauce, lemon juice, and pepper. Whisk to combine. 2. Fill syringes with mixture and chill. Serve cold.
As intestinal parasites go, tapeworms are the stuff of nightmares. Though they can grow over 80 feet long in extreme cases, they often measure less than one-inch-wide. The intestinal parasites feast on their hosts, sucking valuable nutrients from mammals. And then there's the havoc they wreak on bear butts. One bear spotted in southeastern Alaska's Tongass National Forest this summer knows all about that. The unnamed bear was spotted with multiple long tape worms poking out of its butt as it walked along Anan Creek. For its service as a host to these long worms, the Rangers awarded this bear the 2026 Host with the Most Award. It's a reminder that nature can truly be gnarly.Perhaps not an award one wants to win...

USGS Study Outlines Scope and Severity of Bat Fatalities at US Wind Energy Facilities
A new USGS study reveals that an estimated 18.7 million bats have been killed at U.S. onshore wind energy facilities since 1981, far more than previously understood. By analyzing data from hundreds of wind projects, researchers identified the species most vulnerable to turbine collisions and uncovered patterns that could help reduce future bat fatalities.
The study's findings provide evidence-based solutions for decision makers. For example, the study supports previous evidence that stopping turbines when bats are more likely to be present may reduce mortality for some species.In other words, stop wind mills unless you hate nature. The Science says so.
Bonus!

In the sentences above, you can already sense some red flags.
Here's my problem: Their entire gig live is to do a show involving the lead being an evil Pope, among a series of evil Popes. There's no happy ending, there's no "good triumps over evil", there's just evil Pope performing, or evil Pope being downed by the next evil Pope.
Why couldn't they just make melodic metal music? I can't purchase any of their product if they're hell-bent on downing Christianity.

I think it's over. I looked earlier today and there was no new news.
zerohedge was posting last nights clips as if they were new.
This is from 2:58 PM today:
No articles about the attempted collapse and take over of a major European government. Why? Perhaps because it's over and the EU deepState lost. Thus the communist media here are shushing it down.
No talking of color revolution failures today.

A president who resorts to physical confrontation instead of respecting judicial authority shows contempt for the very institutions he is sworn to protect. The Constitution is not his personal playground.
The idea is to exhaust countries that could offer resistance to Russia/Trump's acts, and force them to be in constant internal strife.
Why doesn't the church say anything against politically engaged protesters attacking the police with a religious song on their lips? There's just so much wrong here.
The nth instance of an alt-right or alt-right-adjacent political leader trying to seize power by force. Yet society keeps pretending these are just opinions.
What a disgrace President Nawrocki is! A real piece of extremist shit the types that only Hungary's Orban can claim to be as low as him.

The liberal media thinks the American people are so stupid.
PBS has a new report out today explaining how it will be completely ‘normal’ if we don’t know the results of the midterms on election night.
That is not normal, but the left wants to make it the new normal.
Just look at one race as an example, say the Los Angeles mayoral race. On election night, far left nutjob Nithya Raman was in a distant third place, but over the course of a few days and then a couple of weeks, they completely flipped the race. Nithya Raman bumped conservative alternative Spencer Pratt of the ballot and now it’s a contest between Karen Bass and Raman. Far left vs. really far left.

This actually points out the big problem with Early Voting. A significant percentage of the voting public has weighed in before this information came to light. Once they vote in-person, they can't vote again. Absentee ballots, however, give you the opportunity to change your mind.

I'm still the underdog. Many people have already early voted, and I presume most of those are Dems. I've focused most of the last few days on Weston, as this is a very affluent town that is going to see a huge increase in property taxes if nothing is done in Hartford in the next couple of years. That town is going to determine whether I win on Tuesday, and it's quite blue. There is an issue that has come up that I'm going all-in on trying to defeat, even though it's a Dem-backed election item. It's the right thing to do, and if I'm going to lose, I'm going down fighting for what's right for the town, rather than for the Dems in power there. It's a big risk, but at this point I've got nothing to lose. I'll be at Weston Center tomorrow morning with the Weston Republicans trying to convince people to vote for me (and against the resolution). Prayers needed.

The variation in deviled eggs is indeed wide and deep. Some of the store bought ones are either bland or too funky. Miley stumbled on a really good recipe. And my mother had one that was pretty good as well. But the two are quite different.

We watched the 1999 version of Sleepy Hollow w/ Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci tonight. Quite good; I doubt it resembles the original short story very much, but still, entertaining, with a thread of rationality running through the supernatural horror.
Most of my clocks and watches are already set back. The car, the "atomic" clock that needs to seek out WWV, and my two sport watches are still on CDT. I'm not too worried about the sport watches; I mainly use them as stopwatches for workouts. I'll get to them tomorrow, along with the new little radio with the clock display. Since it does not have a date feature, I doubt it knows to set itself back.
The GMT watch is now on CST, but I need to reset the GMT hand. GMT does not change with Saving Time or Standard Time.

For my BIL's marriage, we (wife and I) made "gifts" for the guests consisting of 8 Hershey's Kisses (8 is close to the word for wealth/prosperity in Cantonese) tied up in tule with a ribbon congratulating their marriage, but for some reason he dropped off all the unused ones in a box with us.
So I gave them away one year for Halloween...the the next year, when one of the kids said, "Oh, the GOOD ones again this year."
Suffice it to say, we didn't give away any more the third year...

"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" was a great show! I'll likely be watching it with you on MeTV tonight. The problem I'm running into is that my local MeTV channel keeps running *garbage" programming of "Svengoolie". And it sucks. And I mean it *really* sucks. At least Elvira was hot to look at, something that seems to have never needed. God bless anyone who was desperate enough to think that was good programming.

Eliminating leap seconds is going to break a field of the Ft. Collins WWVB signal, specifically the DUT1 field, which gives the difference between UT1( basically, the modern version of GMT, mean solar time over the prime meridian) and UTC to a resolution of 0.1s.
It can encode more than +/- 0.9s. So, when DUT1 does increase to 1s, that will be broken. They'll have to do something. I don't know of too many consumer devices that pay any attention to DUT1 but some things did.

And like clock work, the watch immediately jumped back to 11:00 at midnight. It starts trying to sync at midnight every day, and will try 3 times on the hour. Signal was good, and it immediately jumps when it sees the pending bit.
The pending bit is set on the UTC date of the changeover. So that means it would have been set at 8PM tonight.

Two quotes, both non-apology apologies:
"Yesterday I removed lawn signs that shouldn’t have been on public property. I apologize for removing them rather than contacting the police or my opponent’s campaign to remove them, and I take full responsibility and accountability for my actions. Campaigns should be about issues and differences of ideas, not yard signs. I apologize for the distraction, and am committed to having civil discourse with my opponent for the duration of this campaign season."
And...
"The Easton Democratic Town Committee does not condone Representative Anne Hughes' actions."

True. We saw a HUGE dose of that under whatever meglamaniacs ran the "Weekend at Bernie's" presidency.
There's at least 50 million voters that should owe us all an apology. Biden was brain-dead. "His" policy positions were awful for anyone who worked a 9-5 job.
Anyone who spent all day sleeping and NOT working probably thought whatever this brain-dead said was...boring...that walking corpse had ZERO personality. But those lazy whores and assholes and middle-aged white women gave that *puppet* the white house. Along with a massive amount of fraud.

The fracas in Poland happened because some Poles believed polls taken by other Poles, but those Poles talked to the wrong Poles.
The first group of Poles then found themselves on the high wire without a balance Pole, because they believed the polls that misread what Poles wanted, and what the Polish leadership would do.
Now, they're trying to hide in a pole barn, but they left tracks for the other Poles to follow.

Caught an interview, or maybe read about it in a memoir, where she asked MLK if she should quit the show in solidarity with his civil rights movement, and he told her that her character was exactly the portrayal the movement needed. He wasn't wrong.
I got to see her at a Jerry Goldsmith concert at the Pantages theater maybe a decade ago. She was in the audience and they called her out to take a bow. You could tell she was frail then, but she rose gracefully and felt the obvious love from all of us..

I remembered something about Mariette Hartley and belly buttons. The censors wouldn't let Roddenberry show her belly button in that episode. Later, he cast her in some role in "Genesis II" and gave her two belly buttons.
The censors did let female belly buttons through in TOS. Evil Universe Uhura and Barbara Luna in the same episode.
