Does Letterman have a seasonal side gig?
I got to watch the 4+ hour hbomberguy YouTube today because I pulled the plug at 5:30 this morning to do ski demos at Arapahoe Basin today. I made the right call. Travel was very treacherous on the roads in the high mountains, winds were blowing 45-60 mph for a time this morning with snowfall rates of 1-3 inches an hour.
That’s called a blizzard and I try to avoid driving in the motherfuckers.
re: #7 teleskiguy
My worst driving experiences have either been blizzards or freezing rain.
re: #7 teleskiguy
An inch an hour is a whole fucking lot of snow. You don’t mess around with that.

Especially when it’s in a company truck loaded with tens of thousands of dollars worth of brand fucking new ski equipment. My boss agreed, thankfully.

Some SNOTEL sites up in the subalpine forests in the northern Gore Range and Park Range (Steamboat Springs area) have received three feet or more of snow in this latest storm cycle.
I say about time. We need snow!
I’ve seen 2 inches of snow falling per hour, sitting on a chairlift. You end up looking like the Abominable Snowman when you get to the top and you have to shake yourself rigorously and vigorously like a wet dog before you go skiing.

Sending a tip o the hat to Dolly Parton on her latest album Rockstar.
So here is one of Dolly’s original recipes.
When you’re working 9 to 5, you don’t want to have to work yourself to the bone over the stove to make dinner. How about we do something a little easier instead? Dolly Parton’s 5-Layer Casserole, straight from the queen of country herself, is as simple as stacking, seasoning, and baking. The results are a melody of flavors, from the hearty potato base to the savory ground beef, tender onions, bright tomatoes, and garden-fresh green peppers. It all comes together for a warming and filling dish that you’ll be amazed you didn’t have to work harder to make. Come and explore the layers of goodness in Dolly Parton’s 5-Layer Casserole!

Tip o’ the hat to Dolly and to you, Joe — I made this for supper tonight and it came out quite well. Thanks for passing the recipe along!
re: #18 CleverToad
Glad to bring some yummy to your tummy thanks to Dolly!

I’m not one of the many great cooks of LGF, I admire in awe but seldom attempt. This one is my kind of recipe — fairly simple to make, with ingredients I almost always have on hand. Tasted great and the boys liked it! Makes a nice addition to the “dinner ideas” folder.
I’m not going to point you to Amy Castor and David Gerard’s roundup of the latest crypto news here amycastor.com, but I am going to pull out one nugget which is up there with the amount of energy used by Bitcoin:
Alex de Vries (Digiconomist) has a new report out on bitcoin’s water usage. Each transaction on the bitcoin blockchain uses 16,000 liters of water on average, about 6.2 million times more than a credit card swipe — and enough to fill a backyard swimming pool.
From Cell: cell.com
And yes, if you thought I was going to leave you hanging on the amount of electricity used by Bitcoin, why no, I actually dug for that data!
Currently (as of July 2023) the global electricity consumption for BTC mining in 2023 is expected to be above 135 TWh (Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, 2023). So, if BTC were a country, its energy consumption would have ranked it 27th in the world, ahead of a country like Pakistan with a population of over 230 million people.
From “The Environmental Footprint of Bitcoin Mining Across the Globe: Call for Urgent Action,” in Earth’s Future, an American Geophysical Union publication dated 24 October 2023.
And in the world of fucking wastes of resources, Bitcoin, memecoins, shitcoins, Bored Apes, etc., etc., etc., are the worst fucking wastes ever. Just My Personal Opinion, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I work for an evil too big to fail financial institution. It’s a goddamn Ponzi scheme.

Donald Trump is like the living embodiment of inherited wealth: He did nothing to build his “empire” but instead inherited it all from daddy, he and his siblings deliberately fucked over their eldest brother and his family just so they’d have more to split between them, he’s traded on his family name for decades to keep himself afloat when his bad business decisions should have sunk him, and the only reason his kids even deign to share space with him is because they would have nothing without his name to trade upon.
If Donald Trump had grown up the son of a garbage man, he’d struggle to keep a used car lot afloat.

Apparently Toho and Legendary are swapping years on when they can release another kaiju flick (it doesn’t have to be Godzilla). I am personally fond of the Toho movies, because unlike Legendary, Toho’s films don’t look like fucking muddy crap thrown up on a screen. Plus, they can do on $15 million what it apparently takes Legendary $150-200 million to do (Godzilla v. Kong, 2021 ).
However, lest you think I believe all the Monsterverse films are a waste, the first Monsterverse film gave us this meme:

My favorite sensory thing I learned recently is that you experience scents differently when you inhale them through your nose versus inhale them through the passage from the mouth to the nose. Because the same chemosensory detection systems discerns that some things are “good” as indicators in your environment can also discern that the same thing isn’t what you’d want to ingest.
Petrichor—the smell of rain—is incredible to catch in the air. If you put it in your mouth you spit and wince.

Film-makers the world over got the wrong lesson from the early success of the MCU, this idea that the way to maintain profitability is to be cranking 1-2 franchise films out every year. Disney tried it with Star Wars and they fell flat on their faces. Warner tried with the DCEU and it’s been an utter disaster. Universal followed the trend with their “Dark Universe” monster films. And now Toho’s in danger of following Marvel into a rut of diminishing returns. Yet it’s difficult to see things really changing in the near future as late-stage capitalism’s demand for perpetual growth means the same movie companies are scared stiff of taking risks like supporting new directors or backing big-budget films that aren’t part of an established franchise because of worries of those films flopping.

There’s a prominent snowfield called The Bald Spot, if you look down from that you’ll see the fencing for the Men’s World Cup Downhill race this weekend. Work your way up from there, that’s the Birds of Prey downhill course, one of the most feared in the world.
The Birds of Prey World Cup Ski Races at Beaver Creek, CO were cancelled. Due to snow and high winds. First time in event history, dating back to 1999, the Men’s Downhill *and* Super G was cancelled at the same time.
So much preparation goes into these events, and countless person-hours went into this event (A grandstand that can hold 5,000 people was built) and it didn’t even happen.
nope, no antisemitism here. Let me know when protesters chant outside Indian restaurants on behalf of Modi’s anti-Muslim policies.
“A Philadelphia software engineer posted a video of protesters circling a falafel restaurant (Goldie) run by a James Beard Award winner who is Jewish (and Israeli). The protesters associated the chef and owner with Israel’s bombing of Gaza.
“Goldie, Goldie you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide,” the protesters chanted.
“They continued their march down the street, but not before vandalizing the front windows,” he wrote. “To clarify, I witnessed them placing stickers on the front door and windows of the restaurant. I just walked by,” and the stickers read “Free Palestine” and “This is Genocide.”

Trump Belatedly Freaks Out at De Niro’s ‘Disgusting’ Award Show Speech
Gee that’s a shame.
In honor of Mr. De Niro sticking the shiv into the Talking Asshole here’s his favorite pasta recipe
Robert De Niro is one of the most beloved actors of his or any generation. Something similar can be said of the pasta which shares his name: De Niro Pasta is one of the best pasta dishes around! Tender spaghetti forms nests on the plate and brings with them a taxi full of flavors: the fragrance of garlic and oregano, the sweet floral flavor of saffron, the savory tastes of beef, and the tang of olives. De Niro Pasta will surely awaken your spirit of adventure and kitchen artistry.
Ingredients
8 ounces thin spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, optional, crushed
8 ounces extra-lean ground beef
1 2/3 cups low-sodium marinara sauce
2 ounces pimiento-stuffed olives, sliced
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon capers
4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1 -
In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions.
Step 2 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil.
Step 3 -
Add the onion to the oil and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 4 -
Add the garlic to the onion and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5 -
Stir the oregano, the celery salt, the red pepper, the black pepper, and the saffron into the onion mixture.
Step 6 -
Add the beef to the onion mixture and cook, stirring to crumble, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 7 -
Stir the marinara sauce, the olives, the sherry, the capers, and 3 tablespoons of the parsley into the meat mixture.
Step 8 -
Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 9 -
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce mixture and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 10 -
Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.

Claiming a sheriff’s deputy tackled their disabled second-grade son last year, a former Cheyenne couple is suing the deputy and the Laramie County Sheriff’s Department.Emily and Ishmael DeJesus filed their lawsuit Tuesday in the U.S. District court for Wyoming, alleging violations of the child’s Fourth and 14th Amendment rights and violations of federal disability protection laws.
The lawsuit complaint alleges that on Feb. 15, 2022, Laramie County Sheriff Deputy Benjamin Jacquot, a school resource officer for Freedom Elementary School in Cheyenne, unnecessarily tackled and pinned an 8-year-old boy on the ground.
The DeJesus parents are alleging that Jacquot deleted part of his body cam video of the incident.“According to Principal (Chad) Delbridge’s written report, Deputy Jacquot grabbed (the boy) by the arm when (he) stood up and began walking away from Principal Delbridge to return to class,” the complaint says.
The document says the boy was not a threat to himself or anyone else; was not committing and had not committed a crime; had no weapons; and wasn’t under arrest.
“Deputy Jacquot, nevertheless, forcibly wrestled (him) into a nearby conference room using an armlock where the assault grew violent,” says the complaint.
It alleges that “during the deleted portion of the body cam video, Deputy Jacquot repeatedly slammed (the boy) face down onto the floor of the conference room causing multiple bleeding facial injuries.”

The problem is, there’s just enough plausible deniability behind, “Oh, my body cam was on the fritz,” that straight-up firing them will usually get overturned after action by the police union. And for the record, I have no problem with police unions as a concept; the problem I have is that they’ve largely developed into a sort of “ol’ boy’s club,” where the police union will vehemently protect its own, regardless of how corrupt or abusive the officer in question is. I think more realistic and honest assessments of when to let an officer face the music might go a long way toward restoring faith in police and police unions.

The world’s biggest iceberg — more than twice the size of Britain’s capital city — is on the move after decades of being grounded on the seafloor in Antarctica.The huge mass of ice broke away from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in 1986, calved and grounded on the Antarctic’s Weddell Sea floor almost immediately.
The iceberg, named A23a, is about 1,312 feet thick and almost 1,544 square miles in area. Greater London, by way of comparison, is 607 square miles.
But now, nearly three decades later, the iceberg has probably shrunk enough in size to lose its grip on the seafloor as part of the natural growth cycle of the ice shelf, and has started moving, scientists Ella Gilbert and Oliver Marsh from the British Antarctic Survey told CNN.

Yup, that’s the usual propaganda name for them.
Kinda like the one (that only I found out about years after I could have done anything about it) who hand cuffed my son (while he was in a schizophrenic state) to a chair so he could scream at him for a half hour for using the word “fuck”. He was in 6th grade at the time, and we were trying to force the state to pay for in patient therapy for him. He would get it about 6 months later by court order.
Years later we’d have to threaten the school district with a very major federal lawsuit and get the director of special education fired to get him to graduate but that’s a story of bias & bigotry for another day.

On Saturday night, Kiss closed out the final performance of their “The End of the Road” farewell tour at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden.But as dedicated fans surely know — they were never going to call it quits. Not really.
During their encore, the band’s current lineup — founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons as well as guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer — left the stage to reveal digital avatars of themselves. After the transformation, the virtual Kiss launched into a performance of “God Gave Rock and Roll to You.”

I see the Minor League Football playoffs are an even bigger joke than usual this year as an undefeated team was left out in favor of a bigger money draw even though they’ve already been beaten.

Looking at FSU’s schedule vs the others, and, after watching the last game against Louisville (who lost to Kentucky the week before), the best comparison to me is that FSU was this year’s TCU.

We would have to fix our broken education system. For a lot of them, there would be no opportunity to go back and get a degree. For many, this is how they get their degree, for a college to pay for it in return for the students being gladiators. Moving them to farm teams removes that incentive for schools.

Ugh, that’s rough. My own colon cancer surgery was similar in length, although sounds like hers was way more taxing.
My mom did two rounds with breast cancer and the second one did her in. I sometimes wonder if getting a mastectomy would have saved her. I don’t know if it was discussed and to be honest, she probably would have rejected even if it was an option. Part of what got her in the end was she was feeling bad for nearly six weeks, but did nothing because she simply had “a cold”.
Miss her every day but she was in that “If I ignore the symptoms, whatever is causing them will go away” camp that seems to be endemic with a specific generation.
Glad the missus is doing well. If nothing else, I need to up my bike game to keep up with her, LOL.

Name, image and likeness (NIL) revenue is getting quite large for some athletes. Not as much as it should for ALL of them but some of the big names are raking in several million dollars a year. And Booster groups are getting in on the action. They essentially can give unlimited amounts if their organization is not directly connected to the school. Walk-ons are getting full tuition. At Texas, all the linemen on scholarship are getting $50,000 a year from the boosters. I expect this to increase substantially.

Was extremely happy when I could finally follow the curb as there were times I couldn’t see more than a few feet in front of me. Finally got back to campus and still had a mile to home. Luckily I was able to take shelter in a women’s dorm and stay with several members of the women’s volleyball team.

And this is why so many people don’t trust the police. Excessive violence against a disabled child isn’t a good look.
Furthermore, deleting body cam footage should be an automatic reason to fire cops. They’re obviously hiding wrongdoing.
The description of this child’s meltdowns sounds a lot like autism, especially this:
By Feb. 15, 2022, the boy reportedly had an individualized education plan (IEP) at school
due to a neurodivergent disability. He also had ADHD. The boy’s IEP said that when he experiences emotional issues, school staffers should give him breaks in a quiet area and space to calm down, says the complaint.
Autistic people are often assaulted by police who aren’t trained on how to spot neurotypes, and in this cop’s case, wouldn’t care if they were. Elijah McClain was murdered by cops for looking “sketchy.” He hadn’t even been experiencing any problems when someone called the cops on him. The cops showed up and murdered him. And just as in this case, the cops all claimed to have malfunctioning body cams and all the footage was lost for 3 different body cams.

All six participants were safely implanted. Five participants completed the study and one was withdrawn for protocol non-compliance. Processing speed on part B of the trail-making test improved 15% to 52% from baseline, exceeding the 10% benchmark for improvement in all five cases.
System used for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is from Medtronic and approved for dystonia (and also being studied or approved for Parkinson’s disease, tremors, epilepsy, or obsessive-compulsive disorder). The one withdrawn was due to a scalp infection or, in clinical study language, “protocol non-compliance”.
