There are too many weak NL teams for it to happen, but I think it would be hilarious if both the Yanks and Mets missed the playoffs with their payrolls.

Mathematicians Discovered Something Mind-Blowing About the Number 15 https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/a43670398/mathematicians-discovered-something-mind-blowing-about-the-number-15/

All I know about them is that one day I found myself at the vimeo page of somebody who'd uploaded 200+ videos, including all the black & white & some of the color Diana Rigg AVENGERS episodes (this is before whatever streaming service that has them now had them). I watched them often on my computer without problems and eventually downloaded the app onto my ROKU and have watched them on my TV also without problems.

Pasta la vista! A New Jersey town was awash with mystery after hundreds of pounds of cooked noodles inexplicably appeared along a creek bed in the woods last week — before the town cleaned up the macaroni mess. Mounds of spaghetti and piles of other pastas, including ziti, were seemingly dumped by the stream near Veterans Park in Old Bridge, according to images posted by resident Nina Jochnowitz last Wednesday. Jochnowitz, a former council candidate, estimated that there had to be more than 500 pounds of pasta left behind in a Facebook post where she shared the photos of the sauce-less noodles. Her post was quickly screenshotted and shared on Reddit and Twitter where people from all over joked about the pasta fiasco and theorized its origin story with near-endless pasta-bilities and puns. Some thought Strega Nona’s helper Big Anthony was behind the oodles of noodles, while others provided names of possible suspects. “Sounds like the work of Rig-a-Tony!” one Reddit user commented. “He was actually framed…orzo I’m told,” another replied. “Lead suspect is a guy name Al Dente,” a different user wrote. “Don’t forget his partner Lin Guini,” a person added. Another Reddit user speculated a potential motive. “It was pasta expiration date,” they said. Whoever was responsible for the mess should serve time, one person said on the Reddit thread. “We should send the perpetrators to the state penne tentiary,” the user joked. “I don’t know. If we do that, I’m alfredo what will happen to them,” a concerned citizen replied. Jochnowitz too found humor in the bizarre littering incident — telling the Philadelphia Inquirer she immediately thought of the song “on top of spaghetiii, all covered with cheese…” However, she said the so-called pasta dump illustrates the larger issue Old Bridge is facing with illegal dumping and a lack of bulk garbage pickup. The real pasta-dumper has not been found, according to Jochnowitz. Soon after Jochnowitz posted about the ordeal and reported the food waste to the township, the town’s Public Works rushed to the scene and cleared the noodles. “You might say, ‘Who cares about pasta?’ But pasta has a PH level that will impact the water stream,” she told the Inquirer. “That water stream is important to clean up because it feeds into the town’s water supply … It was one of the fastest cleanups I’ve ever seen here.” I swear it's just a coincidence that I made spaghetti for lunch! https://nypost.com/2023/05/04/cooked-pasta-mysteriously-dumped-in-new-jersey-woods/

Con Edison has announced that a new six-mile-long renewable energy line running from Astoria to Corona has gone into operation, marking a major step toward the borough and the state’s transition from fossil fuels to green energy sources. The line, along with the installation of new infrastructure at a Con Edison substation in Astoria, cost $275 million to construct and starting in 2026 will be using mostly imported renewable energy sources from Canada. The substation is located on Vernon Boulevard at 35th Avenue and is known as the Rainey Substation. It receives the energy and then sends it down along the underground line to another substation in Corona. The new infrastructure will eventually help retire some older, fossil fuel power plants across the city which emit high levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. The project will also reduce the demand for “peaker” plants, which are prevalent in western Queens ,and require the burning of oil and gas to generate electricity at times when the demand for power is high. For instance, Con Edison said that the new line has enabled it to close down the “NRG Energy” power plant at its facility in the Ditmars section of Astoria on May 1. The plant, and other power plants located along the Astoria/Long Island City waterfront, have caused elevated pollution levels leading to the corridor being nicknamed “Asthma Alley.” The company's transition to renewable energy will cause an initial increase in energy prices. According to Tim Cawley, the chairman and CEO of Con Edison, “It will have an incremental increase but not a significant impact. In the early part, there will be an investment and there’s a potential that will increase but when you think about renewables and after they are added, we don’t need fuel to run them, the sun and the wind will run them, so it [prices] will likely level off.” I feel a co-op assessment coming my way. Our apartments aren't individually metered, so utilities are included in the monthly maintenance. That doesn't stop me from getting marketing calls from other companies. Cawley also said the company already has systems in place to subsidize around 400,000 low-income New Yorkers to pay their energy bills. The transition to renewables is not without challenges in terms of reliability. For instance, California has witnessed an increase in blackouts over the last number of years with critics placing some of the blame on the state’s big shift to electricity resulting in record demand. Solar and wind also pose variability challenges due to fluctuations in the weather. Cawley said Con Edison is incredibly focused on reliability and has a two-pronged strategy in place to address the issue; having enough backup power available and building out the grid’s capacity capabilities. “Our underground network system is 55 times more reliable than the national average,” Cawley said. “We need to make sure we have enough backup generation to fill in the gaps when the sun’s not shining or the wind’s not blowing. We are keenly focused on it… we’re on it.” https://astoriapost.com/new-con-edison-renewable-energy-line-running-between-astoria-corona-is-now-operational

Gee, if only somebody had posted about this sooner...

NJ driver receives ticket after getting run over by her own car A New Jersey woman was issued a ticket for driving an unregistered vehicle after she ran over herself with her own car in a bizarre accident on Monday night. The 61-year-old woman had gotten out of her 2014 Lincoln in Warren County at around 7:30 p.m. without realizing that she never put the car into park. She attempted to stop the car as it rolled forward, but she fell and the car ran over the left side of her body. She suffered “serious” but non-life-threatening injuries. The vehicle continued rolling and eventually crashed into a 2016 Ford that was parked along the side of the road where it came to a stop.

Man from Dildo discovers iceberg shaped like giant penis Ken Pretty, a photographer from the Canadian town of Dildo, has gone viral for capturing the hunk of ice that bears an unmistakable resemblance to a giant erect penis.

Where do you go when you want amazing bible or torah food? (sorry, I had to...) 😇😝😁

The Phillies are getting a new DH tomorrow. Bryce Harper.

The show is moving from FOX to ABC next season, though LONE STAR is staying at FOX. That doesn't bode well for the on-the-bubble dramas at ABC, such as BIG SKY & ALASKA DAILY.

No interest in watching. Did read about the old quote brouhaha regarding one of the other actors that everyone's trying to downplay.

I have a new theory/suspect about the culprit: Endangered 14-foot shark pregnant with 40 pups washed up on beach Scientists were flabbergasted after a giant, dead hammerhead shark washed up on an Alabama beach with 40 pups in its stomach. The find was described recently in a Facebook post by City of Orange Beach Coastal Resources, who recovered the fearsome flotsam. According to the post, the incident occurred Thursday after “a deceased 14-foot Great hammerhead shark” washed ashore in Orange Beach, Alabama. “A few individuals pulled it to shore and contacted Coastal Resources,” they wrote. “Our staff quickly arrived and were able to get it off of the beach.” The team continued, “While it was very sad that it passed, we were excited about the rare opportunity of seeing a Great hammerhead in such good condition.” Accompanying photos show the rescue crew using a crane to lift the shark’s carcass onto the back of a truck. Named for its gavel-shaped noggin, the critically endangered critter is one of the largest sharks in the world, capable of weighing nearly 1,000 pounds and attaining lengths of 20 feet. The beast preys on smaller fish, octopuses, squid and stingrays (although they may get weird pregnancy cravings; we just don't know), which it locates by using its hammerhead to scan the sand like a giant fleshy treasure detector. Determined to take advantage of the intact specimen, scientists reached out to researchers at Mississippi State University’s Marine Fisheries Ecology group, who performed a necropsy on the corpse the following day. They didn’t determine the animal’s cause of death (I suspect an overdose of chocolate and pickles); however, the post-mortem examination did reveal a Jaws-dropping surprise: The hammerhead was reportedly pregnant with 40 pups. While certainly crestfallen over the deaths of the mama shark and her offspring, Orange Beach Coastal Resources acknowledged that “the data collected will be tremendously helpful in learning about Great hammerhead fecundity [fertility].” “This was definitely an experience that we won’t forget, and we are grateful to have played a small role in this unique case,” they wrote. In a similar story last year, beachgoers stumbled upon an 11-foot, 500-pound female hammerhead that had washed ashore in Southeast Florida. Just like in the aforementioned incident, it also had a payload of pups in its stomach. (Methinks an overly horny male hammerhead is living in the southern US... or maybe it's just coincidental)

I told @jjkrkwood about this place months ago. He attempted to try it, but... I did go there around 5 pm on a Fri nite, but it was over 1 hr wait, so I left. The guy told me that dinner hour is very busy and that I should come late afternoon. But it sure looks Delicious.

https://nypost.com/2023/04/28/massive-black-hole-dubbed-scary-barbie-seen-devouring-star/ Astronomers have detected the astonishing interstellar event created by a massive black hole devouring a star — with scientists calling “Scary Barbie” one of the most powerful cosmic displays ever documented. The intergalactic gobblefest was detailed recently in the preprint server arXiv and is slated to be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. “This is the most energetic phenomenon I have ever encountered,” Dan Milisavljevic, study co-author and assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Purdue University, said in a statement regarding the literal star destroyer. “Scary Barbie” — a take on its alphanumeric name ZTF20abrbeie and a reference to its awesome power — is the “absurd” event that was formed during the death throes of a star being obliterated by a colossal black hole. “We think a very supermassive black hole pulled in a star and ripped it apart,” said graduate student Bhagya Subrayan, who collaborated on the research. “The forces around a black hole, called tidal disruption, pull other objects apart in a process called ‘spaghettification.’ We think that’s what happened, but on extreme time scales.” Like a Phoenix rising from the interstellar ashes, the resultant supernova — or star explosion in layperson’s terms — was the brightest ever observed. Milisavljevic described, “If you take a typical supernova and multiply it a thousand times, we’re still not at how bright this is — and supernovas are among the most luminous objects in the sky.” In other words, the star went out with a bigger bang than most. Along with being bigger and brighter, “Scary Barbie” lasted preternaturally long as well. While most transient events generally last weeks or a month, this celestial combustion burned incandescently for over two years like a cosmic Menorah with no indication that it’s fizzling out anytime soon. However, researchers point out that it might just seem longer because of its distant location and the fact that relativity slows down light en route to our eyes. “There are few things in the universe that can be so powerful, reactions that can be this long-lived,” gushed Milisavljevic. How does one observe such a “far out” phenomenon? The team deployed the artificial-intelligence-powered Recommender Engine For Intelligent Transient Tracking, which “combs through observations from a number of telescopes around the world.” Scientists were able to determine the transient’s existence through data harvested from the Lick Observatory in California and the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii. Ultimately, Milisavljevic believes that this luminescent event sheds light on the fact that “we are still uncovering mysteries and exploring wonders in the universe — things no one has ever seen before.” Speaking of supernovas, last month, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detected a star that was 30 times the sun’s mass and was getting ready to blow.

When Donna Summer was feeling all the love from the world as the Queen of Disco in the ’70s, the suicidal singer hit rock bottom. “The most dismal days of my existence were at the height of my career,” says the late legend in the new documentary “Love To Love You, Donna Summer,” which premieres on HBO and HBO Max May 20. In fact, while Summer was riding high from the success of her breakout hit, the orgasmic classic “Love To Love You Baby,” she was enduring an abusive relationship with artist Peter Mühldorfer. One severe beating even left her unconscious, with a black eye and broken ribs. “I hit her, and I never could forgive myself,” says Mühldorfer in the doc. And having grown up in a deeply religious household — her father smacked her for wearing red nail polish because “that’s what whores wore” — Summer was highly conflicted about her image as a sex goddess from hits such as “Love To Love You Baby,” “I Feel Love” and later “Hot Stuff.” In reality, she was more church girl than “Bad Girl.” “You’re looking at me, but what you see is not what I am,” she says in the film, which is co-directed by her daughter Brooklyn Sudano and Oscar winner Roger Ross Williams. “How many roles do I have to play in my own life?” Summer was also carrying around the pain and trauma of having been sexually abused by her pastor as a child. “He did the devil’s work better than most,” says her brother Ricky Gaines in the doc. “It became a defining moment in her life.” All of her mental struggles led to Summer almost jumping out of a window in her New York hotel room in 1976. But her foot became entangled in a window curtain as she approached the ledge, and at that moment a maid entered. “Another 10 seconds, and I would have been gone,” Summer — who died at 63 from lung cancer in 2012 — later said. “I felt God could never forgive me because I had failed him. I was decadent, I was stupid, I was a fool. I just decided that my life had no meaning.” https://nypost.com/2023/04/28/new-doc-reveals-donna-summers-private-hell-at-height-of-her-fame/ Sad to read this about a woman who brought so much joy to so many people.

The Queens Chamber of Commerce is offering its congratulations to the 19 Queens restaurants that were featured on the New York Times’ “100 Best Restaurants in NYC” list. Based on his decade of writing reviews, restaurant critic Pete Wells compiled the restaurant list and ranked the city’s top restaurants.

@Walker1 Posted January 15, 2013 I also like the guy from NCIS Los Angeles- Eric Christian Olsen. He is hot, in a goofy sort of way. FBI International had a character the other night that looked like Eric Christian Olsen’s younger brother. Greg Hovanessian was the actor. He'll be in next week's episode, too.

Not at all, but Jean Smart plays a Joan Rivers-like comedian based there.
