Monday Overnight Open Thread (7/24/17) Nothing In Particular Edition
Fettucini alfredo is macaroni and cheese for adults. Mitch Hedberg
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. Franklin P. Jones
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.Sir Winston Churchill A few more things to think about. Little known facts about serial killers. Previously, The ONT covered the dust up between Olive Garden and a blogger. Olive Garden backs down. Regardless of the threat, Malone has kept his faith in Olive Garden, and told Gizmodo that he thinks the letter is just “a misunderstanding by an overeager young member of their legal team, or possibly an automated system.” Doomed! Doomed!!! Breastfeeding woman sues McDonald's. Oh yeah, she was breastfeeding a DOG. Shit continues to hit the fan at Chipotle. It’s been a hard week for ol’ Chipotle: On Tuesday, a franchise in Virginia closed briefly after multiple customers fell violently ill with what turned out to be norovirus, a throwback to the Great Chipotle Poisonings of 2015. But there’s more, because while burrito fans were getting sick in Virginia (and documenting their experiences in great detail), customers at a Dallas location complained that mice were falling from the ceiling, on account of what a Chipotle spokesperson said was a “small structural gap in the building.” (It has since been repaired.)
Board games. A staple among Americans for years. One of the favorites, Monopoly. The origin of Monopoly. Determined to prove the merit of George’s proposal, Magie invented and in 1904 patented what she called the Landlord’s Game. Laid out on the board as a circuit (which was a novelty at the time), it was populated with streets and landmarks for sale. The key innovation of her game, however, lay in the two sets of rules that she wrote for playing it.
The rumor that Lincoln hadn’t written the Bixby letter was apparently started by the man who claimed to be the true author: Lincoln’s secretary, John Hay. As Harry Callahan would say, A woman has to know her limitations. Perhaps they should stick to Dominion over the earth and saving souls. “From the scientific point of view, the sentence that the earth is warmed by human activity is as true as the sentence: The earth is round!” said Archbishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo.
As a child my younger brother and I would bicycle for hours. We would travel to see friends. Travel to the store. Where a quarter got you a bottle of pop and a candy bar. Travel to diffferent towns. If we weren't bicycling we were playing pickup ball games with neighborhood kids, building forts in a nearby woods. There were chores involved as well. We didn't have cable tv. Hell, I was my Dad's remote control for our 3 channels after dinner. Did we turn out badly? Nope, don't think so. Today's child rearing ways may not be good for the children. Yet one thing is certain – the level of parental involvement and supervision in the 1970s was not a tenth of what is expected today. Fast forward to 2014 and a woman was arrested for allowing her nine-year-old to play in the park while she worked.
"The great tragedy is that this cholera outbreak is a preventable, man-made humanitarian catastrophe," Maurer said in a statement. "Further deaths can be prevented, but warring parties must ease restrictions and allow the import of medicines, food, and essential supplies and they must show restraint in the way they conduct warfare."
Mayor de Blasio ventured into the city’s decrepit subway system on Sunday — but didn’t have to face the foul-smelling and often crazy vagrants that ordinary New Yorkers are forced to contend with every day.
Puliafito resigned his $1.1-million-a-year post in March 2016, in the middle of the spring term, saying he wanted to explore outside opportunities.
Frank Zappa's 1981 tour featured a musical sequence called "Panty Rap" that you don't want your boss to hear at the workplace, due to the subject matter. He encouraged women to throw their underpants on stage. Many women responded, and bras were often thrown, too. After the tour was over, he commissioned this quilt made of the collected underwear. Emily Alana James is the artist who converted the clothing into a quilt
July 24, 1965, The Byrds were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with their version of the Bob Dylan song 'Mr Tambourine Man'. The first Bob Dylan song to reach No.1. The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk rock, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics. via thisdayinmusic.com
July 24, 1971, Paul Revere and the Raiders went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Indian Reservation'. The song was first recorded in 1959 by Marvin Rainwater and released as 'The Pale Faced Indian' and then later by Don Fardon in 1968. via thisdayinmusic.com
Fake science. Fake news. Neuroskeptic, a working neuroscientist who anonymously blogs about science for Discover, set up the sting, submitting the nonsensical study to nine scientific journals – only to have four of them accept it. He led the Wisconsin brigade of Never Trump. He left his successful radio program in part because he was tired of Trump voters. He now lives and writes in the "faculty lounge" . What Trump is doing to the conservative character. Trump will not, of course, always be with us. But he will leave a mark on the culture and character of conservativism for a very long time. Yes, Hillary Clinton as the POTUS wouldn't have a left on mark on culture.
Though we have never met, I smiled recently seeing my favorite Walmart employee. For over ten years, I witnessed him gathering shopping carts in the parking lot. He is a white millennial who only has the use of one arm, walks with a severe limp and appears slightly mentally challenged. I once saw him leaving work driving a new looking compact car. My wife Mary prepared his taxes when she worked for a tax preparation company. I thought, “Hey, this brother has got it goin’ on — doin’ his thing.”
At least one U.S. publication doesn't see the big deal. Food & Wine—a magazine devoted to celebrating some of the specific things Rome has banned: food and wine—apparently doesn't see the big deal with the Roman law. She's not fun and neither is Italy and their new food laws.
The government of the UK said on Saturday all drones larger than 250 grams—slightly more than half a pound, for all you ignorant Americans—will need to be registered with the Department of Transport following a report by aviation authorities drones as small as 400 grams could damage helicopter windshields. Drone owners will also be required to pass a “safety awareness test” demonstrating they understand UK rules on safety and privacy.
MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) — On Friday, the country’s parliament appointed 13 judges of the Supreme Court and their 20 deputies. The day before, the Supreme Court itself denounced the appointments as non-legitimate. Ethanol bill defeated in the US Senate. In a major defeat for the ethanol industry, senators of both parties joined forces late last week to sink a controversial bill that would’ve allowed gasoline with 15 percent ethanol to be sold year-round. With a headline like this: That pigs are smart and sensitive is not in doubt. How can we justify continuing to kill them for food? The ONT had to share with you. Pigs aren’t just cerebral, though: they have heart. When others are in distress, they can express concern and act with empathy. A description of pig behaviours, derived from scientific experiments and compiled by Lori Marino of the Kimmela Center for Animal Advocacy and Christina M Colvin at Georgia Institute of Technology is so impressive, you might think it was about chimpanzees, elephants or whales.
NEW AMSTERDAM LAW CRIMINALIZES THE ACT OF UNSUCCESSFULLY FLIRTING WITH WOMEN IN PUBLIC Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands and once a mecca for those interested in pot and prostitution, is in the process of criminalizing men approaching women. Though the Netherlands has enjoyed a reputation as a liberal country sans the SJW extremism of Scandinavia, this might be about to change. Can't fall asleep? Crank up the adrenaline and become a Genius Award Winner.
