Overnight Open Thread (8-12-2013)
— Maetenloch

[Hi all I'm back at least for a night or two - thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for my dad. He's doing much much better but isn't out of the woods yet. He has CHF and is hoping to get a Dick Cheney-style LVAD. WiFi here at the hospital is weak so the ONT could end up pic-less. Only upload times will tell. :-)]

Iconic B-Movie Stars

Most are pretty good actors who for one reason or another never became known as leading men but still often carried weak movies just on their charisma and believability. Today they're known for 'fun' movies rather than Oscar-bait.

You may or may not know their names but you'll certainly recognize their faces. And yes some of them are known (or suspected) to be full-on Morons.

And bonus points if you recognize this actor without cheating. Hint: He's faced off against Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Patrick McGoohan, and the Hasselhoff. Classic line: "The gaaaate! THE GAAAAAATE! "

The Stranglers, Time and The Great Mellowing

Back in the day the Stranglers were the bad boys of the punk world and bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel perhaps the punkest punk of them all:

Notorious for their black-clad belligerence, Burnel, a karate black belt who once engaged The Clash and The Sex Pistols in a street brawl, would incite riots at gigs by striking audience members with the head of his bass. He once disrobed a French journalist, who had displeased the band and gaffer taped him to the Eiffel Tower - "I only took him up to the first floor, though," Burnel said.

But with the passage of time he's mellowed. A lot:

Ahead of the band's surprise debut at the Proms next week, Burnel, 61, who was once jailed for affray in Nice and spent a year experimenting with heroin, now regrets his anti-establishment past.

Burnel disowned "Garden of Eden", a song he wrote in the 80s about the Queen and her "useless children".
"Now I argue the case for constitutional monarchy, which I never thought I'd do," the musician, who owns properties in the South of France and Chiswick, west London, told Radio Times.
He added: "Take the p***s out of me as much as you like. It's no longer the Stranglers against the world. It's the Stranglers with a few friends."

The 15 Top Talk Radio Hosts

It's no surprise that Rush is number one but a lot of the top 10 weren't hosts I would have guessed.

Japanese Zero Tolerance

In May, a sixth-grade boy broke school rules by bringing a knife onto campus and using it to threaten six of his classmates. No one was harmed, and the event was subsequently concealed from the teachers by all involved, even those students who were threatened. When the incident came to light, all seven students were called into a separate room and hit over the head once each by the principal.

22 The Oprah incident was a stunt. It happened the same week that her movie "The Butler" is being released. Same deal with the Linda Lovelace movie. In fact, Harvey Weinstein actually paid the owners of her life rights to actually sue his company for the press. Then, as if by a miracle, the case got settled. Don't fall for this gag. And Oprah is a fat piece of shit for using race this way. Then again, it's standard operating procedure for the left. She is a fucking loathsome fat harridan.

38 I remember the Stranglers from their heyday, and mine as the music director of my college radio station. They were sort of the Doors of the punk genre. Quite good musically, and lyrically. Give a listen to "Peaches" which is the opening track on "Sexy Beast" as well as the tune "Golden Brown" which is heard on the soundtrack for "Snatch."

He's not currently planning on building it himself, although he may build a small-scale demonstration version at SpaceX's MacGregor, TX facility. Hyperloop is considered an open source transportation concept. The authors encourage all members of the community to contribute to the Hyperloop design process. Iteration of the design by various individuals and groups can help bring Hyperloop from an idea to a reality.

80 Tim Thomerson was on a little-known sci-fi comedy series (cut short) called "Quark," as a "transmute," a modified person psychologically both male and female, alternately. Along with actual real-life twins as twins on the series, and a cowardly robot, and a human-like plant intended to be a riff on Spock. And Ross Martin (as in Artemus Gordon of the Wild Wild West) as the leader of the evil Gorgons. "I *like* you Quark. I really, really do!" It probably would have got tedious at some point, and it was campy, but that was like the best comedy villain ever.

100 Funny how Oprah is trying so hard to be black. She spent her whole career trying to be successful and I never looked at her and said oh, she's using her race to get her somewhere. I just thought she was smart, picked her target audience, and knew how to cater to them regardless or their race or social-economic status. Now, after that, when she really has nothing to prove she is looking for something, anything. I guess her life really is empty, sad.

Definitely an interesting and underused actor. "The Thing" and "Pitch Black" were also very memorable performances. Glad they included Brion James. Fantastic in "Blade Runner", "5th Element" and "Southern Comfort". Likewise David Patrick Kelley... he pretty much steals the show in everything he's in, including "The Warriors", "Commando" and particularly "Twin Peaks" against very heavy competition.

206 158 I honestly can only take a short time of Levin's voice. It has nothing to do with style so much as aesthetic preference. His voice is just too high and nasal. But I read what he writes, because he's brilliant. I also can't listen to Hannity. His constant up-talking is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Assault Hobbit at August 12, 2013 10:35 PM (CA2NO) I find Hannity exhausting to listen to because he speaks at exactly the same volume all the time. While Levin can yell louder (and often does), he can also speak softly when he wants to. He can modulate his voice better.

264 My wife made a radish salad yesterday with peanut butter in the dressing and mangoes--loved it. Posted by: Northernlurker at August 12, 2013 10:53 PM Peanut butter is the mystery secret ingredient of choice. Especially when doing stir-fry in the wok. For certain recipes, adding a heaping double-wide tablespoon of peanut butter gives the dish that extra "flair" that keep them guessing how you do it.

I had a particularly succulent peach last summer in Utah- I had been riding a large American-made motorcycle at high speed around far sw Utah and came across a roadside produce stand. It was a hot day and I was thirsty so I pulled over and bought the biggest peach available and took a big bite. It was warm and juicy and sweet as candy. The simplest pleasures are often the best.

Posted by: Lincolntf at August 12, 2013 09:58 PM (ZshNr)

Didn't Bennett (played by Vernon Wells) in "Commando" look, speak, and act like a total flamer? Remember that faggy sleeveless, fishnet sweater his character wore in that movie? Plus, he had a Freddie Mercury moustache. I always wondered if it was intentional on the part of the director to make Bennett as gay looking as possible. To top it off, when Schwarzenegger kills Bennett at the end of the film by ripping a pipe out of the wall, throwing it into Bennett's chest, and saying, "Let off some steam, Bennett," the steam flies out of the end of the pipe that impaled Bennett. Sounds like a double-entendre, doesn't it?

350 Most people don't know what to think about allergies (correct answer - nothing, just don't foist things on people), and when people don't know what to think, they think seriously bizarre things. In other words, most people want to help, but they're kind of stupid. Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at August 12, 2013 11:17 PM (qyfb5) So true! When I tell people it's like the reaction people get when they're allergic to bee stings, they usually get it. It can be a bit frustrating, though, because they'll tell me, "I made sure to make these cookies especially with you in mind! No peanuts!" And I feel so bad because I'll ask them, "Did you happen to read the ingredients on the chocolate chips? Because I usually can't have them." It makes me feel like a total jerk.

353 314 This is why I can't have Chinese food, let alone Thai. Judging by The looks I get when I tell people I've never had Chinese food because of the peanut issue, you'd think I'd just told them I had three months to live.

I know a guy like that. He told me that the epipen is not so much a panacea as a tool that he hopes will let him survive until he hits the emergency room. Nonetheless, we ate some Chinese food together recently, with of course some careful instruction to the waiter. There's a lot more to Chinese and Thai food than peanuts.

There's a new New Orleans-style cajun/creole place I recently tried in Santa Ana CA, called Ritter's. Anyway, one of their appetizers, Ritter's Oysters, is "broiled oysters with a spicy tomato peanut butter bacon sauce, and topped with green onions."

(No, I didn't try it. I had the Bouillabaise instead, complete with clams and mussels still in their shells. It was pretty good.)

393 do you think the russian gays could be the downfall of their Gov.

Well they have been several times before, so why not? Just kidding, gays were the best friends Russian totalitarians ever had.

I see this as one more Cold War replay: anything the Americans were doing, the Rooskies either found they'd done first, or were better at it, or it was contrary to bippul's eeentrest and wrong.

The French for chrissakes were set back by the effeminacy of the Russians before glorious revolution ever took place. Both Czarist and Leninist courts were awash in forbidden love. In the golden age of world socialism, British 'omozegguals used to spy for USSR, then run there for refuge, and were welcome. Everyday life in Russia has had more gayness to it for 150 years (I'm going back to Pyotr Ilyich for a reference point) than even the Howard Zinn version of American life. Or even UK, which is saying a lot.

Russia being anti-gay is something pretty damn new. So it's either orthodox religion being brought to the fore, or part of Putin's pretty accurate campaign mocking Obama as the "mayor of Sodom and Gomorrah." Either way, it's all Putin.

425 376 Vernon Wells was great on an episode of "The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys." He played "The Shark Guy," which should be the name of a talk show on SciFi.

Posted by: BeckoningChasm at August 12, 2013 11:28 PM (xjpRj)

Vernon Wells? Doesn't that guy play outfield for the New York Yankees? Or is that the actor who played Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies? Or was it the big, fat, bearded guy who chronicled an alien invasion of New Jersey, liked Paul Masson wine, and named his favorite sled "Rosebud" when he was a child?

426 Yeah, that billionaire Oprah has a lot to whine about. Jeebus. Everyone gets insulted or has their feelings hurt now and then. But it takes a super-rich celebrity to think that their sad little hurt feelings should be world wide news. I am so full of hate lately, but I have to say it, I hate Oprah. I never liked her, even when she wasn't political. I never understood why so many people watcher her show, or why she was so influential. There are people whose politics I dislike, but there is something about them when they are on camera that makes you like them and think that they'd be fun to hang around with. Oprah ain't one of them. Ironically she has always struck me as being white bread boring.

434 I'm in the final stages of celiac-denial. The MissusÂ™ says I should go vegan; I'm thinkin' more paleo... Posted by: AltonJackson at August 12, 2013 11:41 PM (JMmQ9) One of the consequences of living for years eating food you're intolerant of is intestinal damage. It's hard to absorb nutrients from food, and will always be harder than a "normal person." So tell your wife you'd starve to death as a Vegan. Kind of true. Either that or get fat off of masses of simple starches because you're not digesting the rest well. The more they learn, the harder it is to diagnose the condition, though. The only way to be sure now is to go off it (and *dairy*, though that's not necessarily and allergy issue) for a few months and then eat a sammich and wait an hour. If everything goes to shit, don't do it again. There are tests, but the number of related conditions is growing faster than the number of tests, and they're not very reliable for that reason (other than a colonoscopy before you switch). Best of luck. You will find that adapting is not *that* hard. Just expensive.

526 Actually the Pepin thing is all mixed up, because of mythology and there being more than one Pepin the Fat, one of whom was actually neither Pepin nor fat. Also, the poison thing is more or less irrelevant to the case and the Mayoral Pepin the Fat didn't do anything personally. The other one, the not-fat one, was actually a king. A son of Charles Martel.

543 rickl: Here you go! Reposting from the July 24 News Dump thread: They did not fuck around in those days. I present, too, the story of Princess Olga of Kiev, born c. 890 AD. From that bastion of knowledge, Wikipedia: "Princess Olga was the wife of Igor of Kiev, who was killed by the Drevlians. Upon her husband's death, their son, Svyatoslav, was three years old, making Olga the official ruler of Kievan Rus until he reached adulthood. The Drevlians wanted Olga to marry their Prince Mal, making him the ruler of Kievan Rus, but Olga was determined to remain in power and preserve it for her son. The Drevlians sent twenty of their best men to persuade Olga to marry their Prince Mal and give up her rule of Kievan Rus. She had them buried alive. Then she sent word to Prince Mal that she accepted the proposal, but required their most distinguished men to accompany her on the journey in order for her people to accept the offer of marriage. The Drevlians sent their best men who governed their land. Upon their arrival, she offered them a warm welcome and an invitation to clean up after their long journey in a bathhouse. After they entered, she locked the doors and set fire to the building, burning them alive. With the best and wisest men out of the way, she planned to destroy the remaining Drevlians. She invited them to a funeral feast so she could mourn over her husband's grave, where her servants waited on them. After the Drevlians were drunk, Olga's soldiers killed over 5,000 of them. She returned to Kiev and prepared an army to attack the survivors. The Drevlians begged for mercy and offered to pay for their freedom with honey and furs. She asked for three pigeons and three sparrows from each house, since she did not want to burden the villagers any further after the siege. They were happy to comply with such a reasonable request. Now Olga gave to each soldier in her army a pigeon or a sparrow, and ordered them to attach by thread to each pigeon and sparrow a piece of sulfur bound with small pieces of cloth. When night fell, Olga bade her soldiers release the pigeons and the sparrows. So the birds flew to their nests, the pigeons to the cotes, and the sparrows under the eaves. The dove-cotes, the coops, the porches, and the haymows were set on fire. There was not a house that was not consumed, and it was impossible to extinguish the flames, because all the houses caught on fire at once. The people fled from the city, and Olga ordered her soldiers to catch them. Thus she took the city and burned it, and captured the elders of the city. Some of the other captives she killed, while some she gave to others as slaves. The remnant she left to pay tribute." Olga was clearly an 'Ette.

545 "Olga the Ineligible," heh. Redhead, I'd bet on it.
Sure, some of those honorifics must have been bitterly ironic; a few "Kind" or "Fairs" were by comparison with the guy before (or, sadly, after), but with all those and more to choose from, a handful must have been fundamentally decent chaps. Still, "Reasonable and Friendly," I'm just not seeing it.

I once heard a gallant defense of the career of Aethelred, claiming that he stayed plenty busy, and due to his efforts some of his successors were ready indeed.

And there was a noble family up around Dalmatia or Trieste, named "Niltesta."
My history prof said he could only conjecture where that came from...

563 Microsoft really going out of their way for me to not be interested in the Xbox One:

Since Kinect must be plugged in for the Xbox One to function, what happens if your Kinect breaks? Like if it falls off the top of your TV onto a hardwood floor or something? Will the console cease to function?

WHITTEN: Xbox One is designed to work with Kinect plugged in. It makes gaming better in many ways Â– from the ability to say Â“Xbox OnÂ” and get right to your personalized homescreen, to the ability to control your TV through voice, Smartglass and more. Kinect allows you to search for your content, instantly move between games and your personalized dash and more with just your voice. Kinect helps you pick up and play by automatically knowing which controller you have in your hands. No more need to interrupt your friends game or navigate through multiple UI screens to sign in and tell the system which controller you are holding. It will even bind the controller to the console if its currently unbound Â– no searching for special buttons! Of course Â– these are just a few of the system wide benefits of having Kinect. Games use Kinect in a variety of amazing ways from adding voice to control your squad mates to adding lean and other simple controls beyond the controller to full immersive gameplay. That said, like online, the console will still function if Kinect isnÂ’t plugged in, although you wonÂ’t be able to use any feature or experience that explicitly uses the sensor.

It puzzles me that the poses are always slightly awkward with a "math is hard" expression....surely there are other parts of the narrative? Where are the cosplay pics of "I get it now! Let's do it!" moments, or the "I'm happily doing something competently" moments?

Isn't the normal story arc something like, "innocent girl caught up with sheltered life is visited by unusual occurrence and meets it awkwardly at first, then finds inner strength and talent to prevail in the new circumstances"? Why are all the pics of the awkward part?

577 I can't explain why, but all cherry therapies for gout specify "tart" cherries. Regular, good-tasting ones just make it worse.

I take allopurinol to avoid (getting any more) kidney stones. So what a laugh it is to see "stone formation" as one of the side effects. But then, having the fine print read out loud real fast on hundreds of TV drug ads has taught me that if you go clear to the bottom of the list, they all say "sudden but agonizing death." So there is that.

Ringing off now. I have a date with red-headed Olga. Let you know how it goes.

That's ok -- you risk a gout attack any time you change allopurinol dosage.....in either direction.

Posted by: cthulhu at August 12, 2013 09:23 PM (T1005)

581 Yeah, but except for the anaphylactic shock, all the other stuff is caused by untreated gout -- Posted by: cthulhu at August 13, 2013 01:16 AM (T1005) Actually, everything there except joint degredation is a side effect of allopurinol. "Rare." Like all side effects, they say. Also, allopurinol does not necessarily end attacks, just make them less frequent, unless you're lucky... and it tends to get worse as you get older. One of many things my family tree left me to look forward to.

Posted by: cthulhu at August 13, 2013 01:23 AM (T1005) And *low* doses can be dangerous (or at least unhelpful) if you have a heart condition. The dosing of allopurinol, as they say, is "complex," because of interactions with other conditions, drugs, etc. I should have smelled trouble when my doctor said "let's start low." I just stared. Then handed her the material I'd printed out.

The main point I got from the whole gout thing is that the treatments are all "let's fuck up uric acid synthesis because uric acid regulation is torqued." It's sort of like what I eventually did with my '79 Mustang -- it kept eating thermostats so I just pitched it. Living in SoCal, it's not like I had to worry about extended periods of running the engine in subzero conditions....

Similarly, the "thermostat" on uric acid regulation is chintzy in my bloodline's metabolism. I'm currently avoiding gout attacks by taking allopurinol, which throws a monkey wrench into uric acid creation processes favored by millions of years of evolution....instead of fixing the thermostat. But it's working for the time being.

There is a ton of shit in medicine that is akin to shaking a rattle and reciting verses, when we have tools that should be able to nail that shit down. Unfortunately, everyone is too much concerned about shoving social policy down the throat of an unwilling public to do real science.

As an example, I'm seeing yet another wave of the food pyramid shit that wildly inflated obesity and diabetes statistics comin' down. Latest flavor is "CO2 is caused by meat animals" and "sustainable agriculture". Fact is, sustainable agriculture gives you low-grade morons that are protein-starved, diabetic, and fat. It's just fuckin' Evil, with a capital 'E'. The entire FDA should be run through a hamburger plant and fed to pigs, with a constitutional amendment saying that "notwithstanding the Commerce Clause or ANYTHING ELSE, even mentioning the Federal Government and Healthcare in the same sentence is hereby declared a capital crime."

The thing that BURNS is not the stone knives and bearskins, it's the institutional roadblocks to improvement. There are only 141 medical schools in the US that can graduate a doctor -- this can be compared to the 199 law schools approved by the ABA -- or the 363 schools giving Engineering degrees recognized by www.abet.org. Credentialism is rampant.

And with credentialism comes government protection linked to extremely expensive lobbying.....as well as barriers to entry, restricted supply, cronyism, abuse of licensure, etc. It wouldn't be so much an issue if you could figure your own problem out and get a remedy.....but you must have a graduate of one of the 141 schools give you a piece of paper to get your drug.

Posted by: cthulhu First off there was a missile attack against a US buidling in Egypt a few days ago. Unclear what kind of missile. Some say it was a hellfire. If those were Libyan missiles then I wouldn't be surprised to learn they mostly don't work due to bad storage/lack of maint. They might be going through the missiles, taking them apart and putting together working ones with the functional parts. I guess we'll find out eventually...

639 Good evening/morning y'all. I would have been here sooner, but I've been poring over DNA results.

Long story short: I was adopted. I sent in a DNA test last month. The results came back this evening.

Kicker: The Family Tree DNA results showed a 2nd/3rd cousin match, with likelihood being 2nd cousin. I did some google-fu, and the geographic location fits. I am related to a minor conservative celebrity.

I'll reveal more after I have contacted the individual if I can...since my existence was/is no doubt a family scandal, the family may not want me to talk about it.

642 642: I'm good with who I am now. I did this primarily to get medical predictors. Which were not good BTW. Based on the results, I'm pretty sure I should be dead by now by a combination of stroke, various cancers, and heart disease coupled with smoking and boozing.

don't put your ipad in the laundry. just accept it for the dirty little snot-nosed fella that it is.

648 I spotted this the other day and didn't save the link, but UPS is experimenting with having 3D printers at some of their outlets. The idea behind this is that eventually spare parts won't be warehoused and shipped, but made on the spot.

And since that affects their core shipping business, they are being proactive. Pretty damn smart if you ask me.

Funny thing is, Fed Ex already toyed with this a few years ago but it got almost no media coverage then because nobody was giving 3D printing much attention before *gasp* guns became part of the story. It was very natural for Fed Ex because they'd acquired the Kinkos chain of print shops, which had long been place where you could rent time on PCs and Macs running expensive desktop publishing software and connected to very high end printers. Something like a $5,000 HP DesignJet is hard for most smaller businesses to justify, so taking the job Kinkos/Fed Ex made sense.

664 I'm experimenting with Section 8 housing in Springfield. I've started a separate account on a PC using Blue Stacks, which lets you run Android software on Windows or Mac.

This was the result of noticing a few things. The way you earn money in the game can be a bit deceptive. The cheaper building and quick jobs produce much less cash and XP but you can do them far more often. Intensive focus can produce a bigger payoff during that period, as opposed tot he more typical play of checking in for a few minutes every few hours.

The Brown House, the first generic building you can buy that isn't attached to a specific character, is very inexpensive and quick to appear. Only $355 and about fifteen seconds, producing $6 and 1 XP every five minutes. It's somewhat of a shotgun shack and lacks a garage. Stuffing them together cheek and jowl with no pesky streets to separate them gets you six per parcel of land.

With a hundred of these, off to one side, it should be possible to reap $7200 and 1200 XP for ever hour of focused harvesting. An audio book or a TV helps during such times. Or if you have a treadmill and tablet you can exercise.

Not having much else to do I started the new Springfield this morning. It's currently up to level 9 with 30 Brown houses in addition to the other stuff called for thus far. I'm expecting that once I get to a certain point I'm going to start some urban renewal, tearing out Brown Houses in favor of more useful items, once I've acquired all of the real estate and a few other things.

You can usually find in a good size town an independent that offers use of Macs and the major DTP packages. But those tend to be specialist outfits. For Fed Ex it stopped being cost effective when most of the software worth mentioning was available in nearly identical form on both platforms.

There are always niche market for those willing to work them. This is why I've always found the idea of Wal-mart coming in and killing every other business to be nonsense. Wal-mart by its nature cannot offer much expertise or specialization. This is where the smart specialist can take advantage. Wal-mart understands this and has a referral program to promote local small businesses on this basis.

Michael Biehn is one of Hollywood's most versatile actors -- he's played a Navy SEAL in The Abyss, a Navy SEAL in The Rock, and a Navy SEAL in Navy Seals.

My favorite non-SEAL role of his is Johnny Ringo.

667 Regarding B-movie actors, I once had the pleasure of interviewing Bruce 'THE Bruce' Campbell. He is, in fact, who and what he appears to be: a bright, hard-working, friendly and approachable guy who appreciates his fans and loves what he does for a living. His role as Elvis in 'Bubba Hotep' is, in my opinion, one of the most overlooked acting performances anywhere.
