Saturday Night Club ONT - November 14, 2026 [Disco & Dino]

Welcome to Club ONT - a whelming collaboration of The Disco and The Dino.

Open thread - bar is open, too. Come in in, grab a drink or 2. Or 3. Keep it light and friendly. The Moose is outside enjoying the crisp fall weather but always ready for action.

Jerks need not enter. Trolls also. The moose knows how to handle those types of folks.

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A husband walks into Victoria's Secret to buy his wife a sheer nightgown.

The clerk shows him several options, ranging from $250 to $500. The sheerer the nightgown, the higher the price.

He chooses the sheerest one for $500 and heads home.

He gives it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, try it on, and model it for him.

Upstairs, his wife thinks, "It's so sheer, it might as well be nothing! I'll just model it naked, return it tomorrow, and keep the $500 refund for myself."

She steps out onto the balcony, completely naked, and strikes a pose.

The husband looks up and says, "Good grief! For $500, you'd think they'd at least iron it!"

22 I’m not much into the MC Universe, but people have been postings clips of the streaming VisionQuest show, and the writing had been remarkably good. It has Vision,Ultron about sons other AI characters looking living as human avatars inside Visions digital memory space.

The best character by far is James Spader’s version of Ultron. A truly brilliant performance.

23 Good eeeeevening.

Have we seen that comfy little Autumnal firepit scene before? Looks familiar. And comfy.

I've said it before, I remember the summer they first played Light My Fire on the Top 40 station. Initially, it was the full seven-minute version, practically unheard of then. Later, they played the shorter version, which was always disappointing.

But not as disappointing as the next summer when they played José Felicitation's Lightmyfirelightmyfirelightmyfire version ad nauseum.

So, even though it's now a victim of decades of overfamiliarity, it was good to hear the long version again. Thanks.

The Starship Ship landing and capture today was spectacular. I was reading something about back in 2020, Elon told his engineers they were going to do this, and they looked at him like he was crazy. Well, here they are. Crazy like a fox.

And we now know what went with wrong the booster. It ran low on fuel due to a little over-rich burning on the ascent. That's what triggered the abort, likely not enough remaining fuel for a 100% safe catch attempt.

There's some amazing slow motion zoomed in footage of the booster coming down, and there at the last second, you see some green flame coming out of one the engines. That was it running out fuel, going way too lean in the combustion chamber and copper burning.

And, in that some slow-motion footage, it showed the bottom part of the booster *imploding* after the FTS ripped open the top. Pressure inside the LOX tank at the bottom dropped way below atmosphere due to all the remaining LOX blowing out.

And in the web interface, they don't have the little checkbox so you can group select them to delete.

Go back and rewatch some of the footage from orbit. They had nearly continuous views of earth during daylight from orbit that was amazing.

Reentry footage (and I can't believe this is possible) was amazing as well, seeing Mexico whizzing by underneath.

66 Ancient data storage. Got my Shack Model I in 1978 and was astonished at semi-reliably storing programs and data on ordinary cassette tape.

Then my oldest brother (RIP) introduced me to a real wiz, my digital guru of sorts. He also had a Model I, but his was hooked up to a hard disk system like that one shown starting at 1:00 in the video. That was impressive.

Also sounded like a small airplane taking off as it spun up.

All I ever got my Model I upgraded to was a chain of 5" floppies. But, they were double-sided, double-density. I got by for my needs for years.
