Debunking, "If there was a conspiracy, someone would say something because humans are incompetent."
2024.05.29 05:07 DefiantYesterday4806 Debunking, "If there was a conspiracy, someone would say something because humans are incompetent."
The idea that humans in large numbers lack competency, and so therefore a conspiracy would be practically impossible completely misses the point. Actually, the fact that humans are insanely incompetent and low-information is why conspiracies are everywhere and almost never go noticed. In fact, people DO speak up often and whistleblow and NO ONE LISTENS.
Part of the issue here is epistemological. We think we know about the world. Why do we think that? First of all, human brains are built to conceive of about 150 people around them. Urbanization breaks our brains, and because we're not built for it, we consistently process our impression of society wrong.
School and media are huge and very simply blunt instruments to provide us with a better impression of the massive urban society around us. Most of what we think we know comes from here. Yes, it's true that false information can be contradicted and humans actually can be quite logical with plain, clear facts. However, we have other social instincts which prevent this from happening.
We humans mostly tend to intuitively perceive what kinds of beliefs others have and give massive weight to that while filtering possibly complex or confusing facts in our heads. While some of us and some cultures are much more sophisticated and cynical about media, there are TONS of demographics (i.e.: young women) who psychologically interpret literally anything the media presents as representative of the actual tastes and preferences of that abstract 150 people the brain is built to perceive. Simply because the media exists and promotes one point of view, it means that this must be the position of those in the tribe with power.
Experienced, educated professionals will constantly filter inconvenient information in favor of adjusting to what the group believes. Smarter, 110-130 IQ "midwits" will actually recognize something is wrong, but will rationalize the emotional inconvenience and build explanations or narratives so they can cope. <110IQ people can't construct these rationalizations, and if they're low-IQ enough they can't even understand them, so this is why dumb people often perceive conspiracies that highly intelligent people observe, because the layer of rationalization doesn't appear to them. >140 IQ literally cannot use these rationalizations because their brains see right through them and you have to be a psychopath to ignore what you see. 110-130 IQ people ACTUALLY BELIEVE these rationalizations, that's the point. They ego invest in them and will fight their own kin to squash anyone noticing malicious behavior systemic to institutions. This is partly because, these midwits as the supreme managerial class, so effectively rationalize, they can operate in corrupt environments without being aware of the corruption. Thus they are rewarded immensely, given titles or big salaries, and become personally invested in the fraud while also consciously believing there's no fraud.
As an adult who has noticed all this from experience in the military, ecclesiastical, academic, corporate (never medical sadly) sectors, these patterns seem universal. You know the store manager who has the keys to lock up? Well, when they open up to their buddies and drink a little of the merchandise and throw a little party or whatever, if corporate can't tell, then why wouldn't they? Not everyone who has power will abuse it, but anywhere power is held, someone will abuse it. Abuse of power is a very casual thing, and at a minimum, some percentage of human personality types will always do it. The go-getters and doers especially trend toward a willingness to abuse power, and that's part of the problem. Other humans have specific instincts to submit to the powerful and almost take pleasure when they are on the good side of a psychopath who is abusing a third party.
Here you might say, "Gee, you have a cynical view of humanity." Sorry, the day a college kid can stand up and assert a point of view that's not social consensus, and have even 10% of the class change their minds and support him merely from considering the argument, then maybe I'll be more optimistic. No, people are cowards who are constantly trying to fit in, mostly most people are pretty dumb, and actually most people disdain those who refuse to fit in and don't care at all about the group's corruption. See, kids who are instinctively socially breaking from their parents will oppose the society of their parents. But kids will never oppose, not ever, not at scale, the social momentum of other kids unless there are other kids of clear divisions like racial or religious.
Therefore, I would propose that not only is society full of conspiracies at every level, but actually society functions on the basis of conspiracy. Small group loyalties and hierarchies form nodes around which institutional structure can build larger organizations. I was in the military which is full of formal authority, laws and rules. The reality of it is all that was a distraction to make people put up with a system that is more about little cliques among officers and so forth that sort everything out behind closed doors. Sure, norms, laws, rules, training smooth things out, allow interchangeability, but real decisions are made selfishly by some leader and they have quidproquo with colleagues and that bubbles up to the top. So whatever stupid beliefs they have about their organization or its values, they take with them to the top where someone like a general wields real power. Yet, such a person is sort of "endowed" with that position by his clique-community, and so they must fight for that community's values in the confines of that community's worldview, which might be totally inaccurate.
With this in mind, here is your final graduation thought experiment.
I've tried to understand the Ukraine war.
Right now Russia is playing on its former Soviet era diplomatic network so it's leaning into "white neocolonialists who think they have superior values exploit brown people because of theft and racism." But they're also simultaneously playing the newer, libertarian narrative of a progressive managerial elite which has hijacked the Western bureaucracy. It's sort of insane how they do this. Like how they exalt Orthodox religion but also insist Stalin did nothing wrong, which not even the post-Stalin USSR believed.
The anti-neocolonialist narrative says that rich whites want to steal resources from poor browns. This is factually what's happening, but the tragic irony is that many third world countries probably couldn't develop or benefit from these resources without first world help. So, there's both an argument against neo-colonialism, but also an argument that it's not like this big scam so much as a natural consequence. What it boils down to for me is where war, jackal economics or espionage is used. That's clearly wrong, and I think a lot of poor countries would be doing a lot better without these interventions, although I don't think they'd be rich and developed.
Well, the West actually is anti-neocolonialist too. Globalists want smart cities, AI economy, UBI, CBDC. They want rural white Americans to be the same level of poor as rural Africans, and for the gains of exploiting natural resources to be concentrated among a global elite, which although unfair, is not exclusive to borders. The geopolitical unfairness of neocolonialism will be addressed by Globalism. And its elite will be very small compared to the global proletariat they intend to have.
This is all very ironic since the globalist machine is playing the Euro-chauvinism card to appeal to Euro elites, and also the American exceptionalism card to appeal to American nationalists. They're playing whatever cards they have, like Russia.
So this is all I know: the West is lying to some of its lesser elites by paying lip service to their values. Russia is playing its old USSR geopolitics card while also playing a trad Orthodox card, while also playing an anti-globalist card.
I KNOW that the West is globalist, the leadership that is. So NATO must lose, because the globalists will certainly win if NATO wins. However, I fear the other side might also be globalists and the whole conflict is an anti-white, anti-Western charade meant to displace the old Euro elites and American nationalists.
That's the irony. Globalists control the West, but have to constantly deal with these older elite factions, so they could be using the war as a purge in a way.
It's hard to explain why the globalist-American leadership needed this conflict so bad. Probably it's all a shitshow gone wrong. This is where my explanation of how conspiracies function comes into play.
Neocons thought the would reinvigorate interest in the military but it hasn't. Like a new patriotism and interest in military power and funding.
Ukrainian Jews might have thought they could purge the Slavs and make a second Jewish homeland but that's probably off the table due to the failed counter offensive.
Russia's hopes of exercising their historical and cultural hegemony to settle the conflict have failed, when Ukrainian deep state operatives assured them they were still on the same old team.
Stupid nationalists who are somehow blind to the globalists and think the American economy is "doing great" probably thought this could be a knockout blow to Russia's meddling in certain geostrategic resource deals that affected American hegemony over Europe. This is a legacy of the British "can't let Europe become a world power" prerogative. The kind of dumb monkey legacy deep state geopolitical prerogatives that these idiots cling to while ignoring the other players around them.
So there are members of the British and American diplomatic-military-intelligence communities who are seemingly oblivious to what globalism is, or the imminent collapse of the Anglo-American financial hegemony. They actually believe the financial journalism. They are playing out a specific strategy from their class or clique or culture's history which is about keeping Europe down. So they are acting from that vantage and are acting as a conspiracy.
There are Euro elites acting from the vantage of actual vestigial colonialist attitudes where they actually think that Europe of all places is a bastion of Western values. While this class is completely morally degenerate, what they really mean is there is a class of elites in Europe that actually thinks the whole world outside of white Europe are actually just dumb monkeys. Not metaphorical. They are committed to all this, as a conspiracy that exercises influence as a conspiracy, because of this idiotic, low-information attitude.
Then there's the globalists who have all kinds of plans, and have even got Russia and China and India to adopt some of their financial technologies in preparation for their Great Reset. And this is done because of their massive influence over global business. As a conspiracy. And yet, while massively influential, they don't outright control Russia or China and their plants are constantly falling short. I'd say the globalists are trying to act as a conventional "illuminati" style conspiracy.
But the point is what I said in the beginning. Even these powerful, highly competent cliques have huge blind spots and huge power gaps because humans are in fact highly incompetent in large numbers.
I get a clique trying very hard to influence things and just falling short of being able to do it, but what boggles my mind is that a lot of these conspiracies who KNOW they are conspiracies who KNOW the world is a stage for the common sheep and KNOW the basic nature of deep state and intelligence games that are played. Even these people will not see past their own biases or egos, and fail to see lies in front of their own faces.
Because conspiracy is natural to humans. We do it naturally, so we engage in illicit collusion and cliquishness, but we don't necessarily see or realize where it's happening outside of our brain's 150 person social perception. Which to me is the oddest thing.

2024.05.29 02:18 quizbowlanthony [WTS] Newp: AU 58 Korea (Joseon) Black Enamel 1 Chon, Old Kiangnan 20 Cents, Dragon Silver, Cast Korea 100 Mun, Sinkiang 5 Miscals (PCGS), MS 63 Chekiang 10 Cents, MS 64 PCGS Kwangtung Dragon 10 Cents, Scarce Korea 1/4 Yang, AU/UNC Manchurian 20 Cents, Scarce China Dragon 5 and 20 Cash + Bulk Lots!
Hello again to Anthony's post-college sale! I will also be travelling to Korea on the 31st of May, so figured, with today and the two days after, to get some of my last sales done. To be transparent, I have been trying to get some more Chinese and Annamnese (Vietnamnese) coins in the near future, so I have to offload some of my stuff to get towards my collecting goals. Got some cool coins lined up in my collection and wanted to offset the cost.
These are all NEW items, mostly from my personal collection of raw inventory, as this sale is mostly raw coins with four nicely graded and slabbed silver pieces of Joseon Korea and of course, Qing and Republican China. Some of the highlights include a NGC AU 58 rare Korean 1 Chon with black enamelling or cloisonne, the only type in the world that would constitute the Taedong series of 1882-83. Quite scarce and nicely toned and sharp for this cast silver issue! There is also a NGC MS 63 Chekiang 10 cent with a much above average strike! And in the realm of PCGS slabs, there is a nice MS 64 blast white Kwangtung 10 Cents, a more uncommon denomination compared to the 20 cents, from the Kuang Hsu era, also ex. personal collection. Lastly, we have a rather large 5 miscals, or half a tael/sar, Sinkiang ration silver xiang yin from the Tihwa Mint, graded XF details. Still a very sharp piece with a authentic LOL Sinkiang black staining on the reverse. Quite unique. I believe this would be hornsilver. Lastly, in terms of raw coinage, we have some nice mini lots of copper cash, including Sinkiang Red Cash and Empire/Provincial 5 cash--a more elusive denomination. We also have a good amount of silver, such as a 1899 Old Kiangnan 20 Cents, ex. Dan Ching, a rare date 1907 Kirin 5 Cents in silver, and three Manchurian Provinces silver 20 cents from my personal collection. There is also a 100 mun from Korea too! All in all, please take a look and let me know if these Asian numismatics and classics in the field interest you!
Thank you all! I hope you all can enjoy these coins from my personal collection! :D

- Rolls are pretty sure not fully filled. hence, NOT 100 total coins. I think when I was in fifth grade, I took some out as I was curious.
- I will assume that, conservatively, there are 90 coins there. They are ALL the same date and UNC. Lustrous. I do not even collect American coins and found these in my desk drawer below some invoices from years past. I am trying to get rid of them.

Crossed flags are sharp and very little chatter, hence, choice for the grade and much better than some, in, say, PCGS holders, with central weakness on the character side and the dot in the center of the reverse.Elusive Republican issued 10 cents silver minor, the only one struck during that time, unlike the 5, 10, and 20 cents issued in the Qing Dynasty with dragons on them.Price: 250 USD shipped

- PCGS Certification Page: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/46088562
- Strong cartwheel luster for this type and the second smallest of the denomination, in silver, for this 1890-1908 general issue series. More scarce than the 20 cents!
- Blast white with no tone, and excellent surfaces with sharp dragon scales and no major flaws or chatter (clean fields) and sharp denticles and characters.

Makes it a lightning dragon LOL.This coin was submitted by me! :D And it came originally from a NGC AU Details holder, for Environmental Damage. This is the typical Sinkiang ration silver issue, from the Tihwa Mint, featuring the dragon and of course, weighing slightly higher than 3 mace and 6 candareens---the standard issue of Imperial half dollars. This is due to Sinkiang using the Mace/Miscal and SaTael system!Scarce issue and harder to find in higher grades. Really unique "black bone patina" according to Chinese collectors where the obverse, character side is all black. Unique out of my inventory, as most of mine are cleaned and kinda weak scales for a XF. Nearly full dragon scale here.Popular half dollar issue from an uncommon Sinkiang Province of Qing Dynasty Imperial China.Price: 150 shipped

- An elusive issue of the popular one year type from the Joseon Dynasty. THE ONLY CLOISONNE COIN in the world LOL, featuring enamelling in the center. This is the black enamel and there is a good amount present in the central HO (户) character, representing the treasury. Scarce issue and with a premium due to the enamelling being present.
- Nice patina with old cabinet tones, a contrast to the generally silvery and white specimens I see in auction. Sharp strike with nice outer rim to the coin, and lightly circulated. Evenly toned, with some underlying luster.
- Price: 720 shipped

Nice and circy patina and this is the KEY DATE of the series, as by 1908, the Kirin mint would stop making the Kuang Hsu issues. An affordable way to get this elusive piece.Price: 40 usd shipped

2024.05.29 02:12 lethally_fluffy Update on the old man's E/T Maxx
Got her all torn down, cleaned up, and rebuilt. I had to break free almost every single bearing. I even had to open up the controller and clean up the steering connections. This thing really threw me some curve balls on the rebuild, it looks like a lot of things were customized. The steering assembly was from the E Maxx, but it was still only driven by one servo like the T Maxx. That caused some issues with the shift servo placement and their solution was to turn the shift servo upside down. The rear differential was locked up like a solid axle and when I opened it up it looks like someone either replaced the inner gears with a solid piece or filled the thing with epoxy because it's all solid. Should've gotten some pics of that, but I was in the zone. The most interesting change is that the shift servo no longer works forward and reverse since the electric motor takes care of that. Instead somehow it's set up as a high/low gear shift. I think my old man was trying to turn this thing into a crawler. In the long run, I'd like to upgrade to a modern receiver along with either a stronger steering servo or a two servo setup. I also found a 1/10 scale jeep wj body to 3d print so I can make this thing look like my daily driver.

2024.05.29 01:26 TF-Fanfic-Resident Thoughts on using radio eras/formats to categorize and group years and decades?
The most common ones I've seen in the West are:
Jazz/classical (Renaissance to late 1940s/early 1950s)
Oldies (early 1950s to late 1960s)
Classic hits/classic rock (late 1960s to early 1990s)
Y2K/retro/adult contemporary (mostly mid-1990s to sometime before 2020)
Contemporary hits/top 40 (current charting music, mostly 2020 onward)
and personally I find that these work pretty well as ways of clustering years.
Traditional, pre-1950s Western civilization was generally very alien from our own with repressive if not Taliban-like institutions (religious intolerance, state-sponsored sexism, state-sponsored racism and ethnic ultranationalism including cleansings and genocide, wars of aggression, and in the US censorship due to nonexistent legal protections for film) dominating large parts of the West up until 1945, and until the rise of jazz much of the music and mainstream/popular culture of those eras reflects the highly censored and hierarchical structure of those periods. This begins to fracture at the end of WWII, around the same time that a new crop of singing stars (both Black and White, for instance Frank Sinatra and R&B shouters) begin to build massive and loyal fanbases among the youth. With the synthesis of about a dozen different genres of American music as well as new technology, we lead into the early years of rock and roll and with it the oldies/midcentury era. Music in this period is not simply a reflection of national trends in politics and the economy but is a center of power; Frank Sinatra plays a (controversial, allegedly Mob-influenced) role in the rise of John F. Kennedy and Black popular and gospel musicians are intimately entwined with the civil rights movement, ultimately culminating in Woodstock (jokingly, I'd consider the Sha Na Na set to mark the end of the initial run of rock and roll and the beginning of the 20-year nostalgia cycle as there now was enough old, yet still stylistically modern, music out there to have revivals). These years see massive and lasting achievements in race and international relations, women's and in time LGBT rights, and general freedom of expression.
The late 1960s-very early 1970s turnover to the "classic"/analog era sees countercultural activity kinda peter out due to tragedies (Altamont, Kent State, assassinations, and later AIDS and the crack epidemic) as well as a global economic and political climate that is kind of "diet 2020s" (the US and parts of Europe see wild swings in gas prices and inflation rates due to oil embargoes, causing economic malaise, and there are a string of disappointing presidents that include LBJ, Nixon, Ford, and Carter). Popular charting music becomes a bit more hedonistic (glam rock, disco, hair metal, house, freestyle) although there are still plenty of solid protest songs in the hip-hop and even synth-pop sectors, and this era sees the beginning of the mass 20-year nostalgia revivals (American Graffiti, Happy Days, and ultimately the "Second Summer of Love" in 1988-89 Britain). These years also see baby boomers (and, by the mid-1990s, the oldest Gen-Xers) reach adulthood with millions morphing into moderately conservative, middle-class homeowners and parents as well as an explosion of new but mostly analog media technology - tapes, cassettes, VHS, with limited use of computers for gaming and enterprise - allowing for an increased variety of at-home entertainment.
Right around the time that Kurt Cobain blows his brains out (1994), Westerners (and richer parts of Asia and Latin America) begin discovering this new feature on their computers called the internet, heralding the Y2K era information/digital age. CDs and later MP3s quickly replace tapes in music, with DVDs following soon after for film, and global-scale interaction for better or worse becomes the norm with chat rooms and later social media apps mushrooming in popularity. One of the first major American social networks, classmates.com, launches in 1995. We also see a huge explosion in 3D/CGI media, from Super Mario 64 to Reboot and Beast Wars to Toy Story, that completely reshapes animation and gaming, as well as a global political climate that trades the Cold War for an era of asymmetric warfare mainly comprising either complex civil wars (Yugoslavia, Congo, Syria, Chechnya) or terrorist conflicts between the Western center-right and jihadists (the first WTC bombing technically occurred while Cobain was still alive, but it was the start of +/- 25 years of the USA's main enemy being radical Sunni Islamist terror groups).
Like all good things, this must end, and it ends more or less in early 2020 (arguably beginning in 2017 when Google discovered Transformer-based AI, a massive step up from the algorithms that dominated the 2010s) with a series of events and technological developments as well as growing exposure to vintage media on streaming services. The result is a bizarre, Bumblebee-like goulash of flamboyantly sci-fi technologies (outright mech war in Ukraine, robo-taxis in San Francisco and Arizona, ChatGPT) and disasters (COVID, climate change, arguably even January 6th) with a cultural and historical mix that stretches all the way back to the big bands and right on up to the latest hits. As this is the present and dominates contemporary charts, it's hard really to name it but I'll call it the Sci-Fi Era.

THE CASE FOR OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENTATION TO LOWER AGGRESSION
People who regularly eat fish or take fish oil supplements are getting omega-3 fatty acids, which play a critical role in brain function. Research has long shown a basis in the brain for aggressive and violent behavior, and that poor nutrition is a risk factor for behavior problems. Penn neurocriminologist Adrian Raine has for years been studying whether omega-3 supplementation could therefore reduce aggressive behavior, publishing five randomized controlled trials from different countries. He found significant effects but wanted to know whether these findings extended beyond his laboratory.5-27-2024
WHAT ARE ALTERNATIVES TO OZEMPIC AND WEGOVY AND ARE THEY SAFE?
With summer around the corner, telehealth outlets and medical spas are going into hyperdrive advertising the sale of semaglutide, the active ingredient in popular weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. Recent shortages of the brand-name drugs have opened the door to copycat versions that, while legal, also raise some concerns for consumers, says Kelly Ann Barnes, Northeastern professor of pharmacy law. The copycat drugs are made by specialized pharmacies known as compounding pharmacies, which are allowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make off-label5-27-2024

ALZHEIMER’S REPORT HIGHLIGHTS IMMENSE CAREGIVER BURDEN—AND POTENTIAL WAYS FORWARD
Some 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s, and about 11 million provide unpaid care for them. Dementia caregiving can present unique challenges, including financial burdens and time constraints, as well as health complications. A report this year from the Alzheimer’s Association demonstrates the true cost of caregiving for those with the disease and calls to establish dementia care navigation throughout the U.S. to lift this burden. Not only is the estimated value of unpaid care near $14 billion in Pennsylvania alone, the report also revealed emotional and physical tolls. Nearly5-27-2024

RESEARCH SAYS POMEGRANATES COULD OFFER A SOLUTION TO FATTY LIVER DISEASE
Researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) are investigating the effects ellagic acid, an antioxidant found in some fruits and vegetables, could have on halting and potentially reversing the damage caused by fatty liver disease. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the physiological manifestation of obesity in the liver. The prevalence of NAFLD has increased from 25.24% in 2015 to 29.38% in 2021, and this condition now accounts for 45.8% of all cases of chronic-liver-disease-related deaths worldwide. There currently exists no treatment for the long-term management of NAFLD; however, dietary interventions5-27-2024
MAGIC MUSHROOMS MAY ONE DAY TREAT ANOREXIA, BUT NOT JUST YET
Anorexia nervosa is a severe mental health disorder where people fear weight gain. Those with the disorder have distorted body image and hold rigid beliefs their body is too big. They typically manage this through restricted eating, leading to the serious medical consequences of malnutrition. Anorexia has one of the highest death rates of any mental illness. Yet there are currently no effective drug treatments and the outcomes of psychotherapy (talk therapy) are poor. So we’re desperately in need of new and improved treatments.

STUDY FINDS FEEDING INFANTS PEANUT PRODUCTS PROTECTS AGAINST ALLERGY INTO ADOLESCENCE
Feeding children peanuts regularly from infancy to age five reduced the rate of peanut allergy in adolescence by 71%, even after many years when the children ate or avoided peanut as desired. The new findings provide conclusive evidence that introducing peanuts into babies’ diets early will achieve long-term prevention of peanut allergy. Lead investigator Professor Gideon Lack from King’s College London said, “Decades of advice to avoid peanuts has made parents fearful of introducing peanuts at an early age. The evidence is clear that early introduction of peanut in infancy5-27-2024
EATING MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MAY LEAD TO OPTIMAL SLEEP DURATION
Good health depends on a healthy diet and sufficient exercise and sleep.

WATCH OUT FOR THESE HIGH HEAT DANGER SIGNS
Climate change is pushing daytime summer temperatures higher for longer periods of time, and that can spell real danger for folks who work outside, like gardeners and landscapers.

STUDY REVEALS WHERE DELAYS ARE WORST
When it comes to responding to a stroke, speed is a crucial factor; the longer it takes for someone experiencing a stroke to get to a hospital, the worse the outcome will be. Yet across the United States, delays to treatment can be significant. A Yale study uncovers new insights into factors associated with treatment delays and where in the United States patients are more likely to experience slower responses. The findings, which were published May 24 in the journal Stroke, highlight where interventions shouldNEW STUDY SHOWS HEAT WAVES INCREASE RISK OF PRETERM, EARLY-TERM BIRTH

NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES, EARPLUGS AND EARMUFFS—DO THEY REALLY HELP NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE?
Noise can make it hard to concentrate, especially for people who are extra sensitive to it. Neurodivergent people (such as those who are autistic or have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder—ADHD) can experience different sensory sensitivities. Their nervous system may process information differently when they are exposed to sensory experiences such as bright lights, loud noise, strong smells or busy environments. Decreased sound tolerance is estimated to affect up to 70% of autistic people and is described in three ways: hyperacusis (perceiving everyday sounds as loud or painful), misophonia (an aversion to5-27-2024

LAWSUIT ACCUSES FLORIDA’S PALM BEACH COUNTY HOSPITAL NETWORK OF SHARING PATIENTS’ PRIVATE DATA
The Palm Beach Health Network has become the latest health provider accused of illegally sharing identities and private health information of its patients with the social media company Meta, owner of Facebook. A lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach says the health network’s websites share code with Meta that enables patients to be targeted with advertising on Facebook based on “highly sensitive personal information” they share.

CAN THE PLACEMENT OF DENTAL IMPLANTS IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER PATIENTS BE DONE BEFORE RADIATION THERAPY?
Globally, head and neck cancer accounts for 5% of all cancer types, with a mortality rate of 50%. However, in the Nordic countries, head and neck cancer accounts for only 2.6% of all cancers, with a mortality rate of just 30%.

RESEARCHERS EVALUATE IMPACT OF NEW FILM’S MESSAGE ON CHILDREN’S AND ADULTS’ BODY IMAGE, SELF-COMPASSION
Unrealistic expectations about what our bodies should look like—whether from the media, friends or family—make adults and children of all ages more vulnerable to body dissatisfaction, eating disorders and other mental health challenges. In a new study published in Body Image, Flinders University experts assessing the program’s usefulness in classrooms highlight the potential for the film “Embrace Kids,” directed by 2023 Australian of the Year Taryn Brumfitt, to achieve large-scale improvements in body image5-27-2024

STUDY FINDS SIGNIFICANT DISPARITIES IN THE DELIVERY OF CANCER-RELATED CARE
It’s important to ensure that care provided at US hospitals that predominantly serve Black and Hispanic populations is as high-quality as the care provided at other US hospitals. New research reveals significant disparities in the delivery of cancer-related care at minority serving hospitals (MSHs) compared with non-MSHs, however. The findings are published in Cancer. For the study, investigators analyzed information from the National Cancer Database (which accrues approximately 70% of US cancer diagnoses) to identify patients eligible for definitive treatment for breast, prostate, non-small cell lung, and colon cancers between5-27-2024
WHO SEEKS $7 BN WITH FUND-RAISING REVAMP
The World Health Organization launched Sunday a new financing mechanism that aims to raise $7 billion of funds that can be deployed more quickly and flexibly. The UN agency has traditionally relied on commitments from its 194 member states, but often these are apportioned to specific projects with several conditions attached, including deadlines that can prove too short. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said commitment increases would contribute $4 billion to the agency’s budget of $11.1 billion over the four years through 2028. “The Investment Round aims to mobilize the5-27-2024

BRAIN DAMAGE STUDY REVEALS PART OF THE BRAIN NECESSARY FOR HELPING OTHERS
Our willingness to help others is governed by a specific brain region pinpointed by researchers in a study of patients with brain damage to that region. Learning about where in the brain “helping” decisions are made is important for understanding how people might be motivated to tackle large global challenges, such as climate change, infectious disease and international conflict. It is also essential for finding new approaches to treating disorders of social interactions. The study, published in Nature Human Behaviour, was carried out by researchers at the University of Birmingham5-27-2024

WHO CHIEF URGES COUNTRIES TO QUICKLY SEAL PANDEMIC DEAL
WHO countries have spent two years seeking an agreement on tackling pandemics. The World Health Organization chief on Monday urged countries to nail down a landmark global agreement on handling of future pandemics after they missed a hard deadline. Scarred by COVID-19—which killed millions, shredded economies and crippled health systems—nations have spent two years trying to forge binding commitments on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.

For Sale: Rotring Renaissance Fountain Pen
Step into the pulsating heart of early 80's Berlin with the Rotring Renaissance Fountain Pen, a masterpiece of German engineering and design. Crafted between 1982-1985 in West Germany, this pen is not just a writing instrument; it’s a piece of history from an era that was alive with innovation, creativity, and a vibrant nightlife that never slept.
Let’s dive into the details of this remarkable pen. The Oblique Double-Broad nib is as smooth as David Bowie’s vocals during his Berlin Trilogy phase. It glides across the page like a Trabant cruising down the Kurfürstendamm, turning your every word into a symphony of elegance and style. Your grocery lists will transform into poetic masterpieces, and your to-do lists will read like love letters.

Forget the hassle of cartridges—fill this beauty straight from das ink bottle, and watch your words flow as effortlessly as the nightlife in a Berlin discotheque. It’s a conversation starter that says, “I appreciate quality and tradition,” much like the timeless allure of Berlin’s Café Einstein.
And then there’s the beautiful red ring. Rotring, after all, means "red ring" in German, and this subtle yet striking detail is reminiscent of the neon signs that lit up the streets of West Berlin. It’s a nod to the city’s artistic and rebellious spirit, where punk rock collided with avant-garde art, and the air was filled with a sense of endless possibility.
Imagine yourself at a smoky club, the air thick with the beats of Kraftwerk and the chatter of artists and intellectuals. You pull out your Rotring Renaissance to jot down a brilliant idea that just came to you—maybe inspired by the mural you saw at the Berlin Wall or the late-night conversation with a fellow creative. This pen is a piece of that world, a reminder of a time when Berlin was a melting pot of cultures and ideas, buzzing with an energy that was both frenetic and captivating.
This pen isn’t just for the serious writer. It’s for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life, who sees the beauty in history, and who understands that sometimes, the tools we use can inspire greatness. Perfect for signing important documents, writing love letters, or simply impressing your friends and colleagues with its elegance and story.
Whether you’re penning your next novel, drafting a heartfelt letter, or just making a list of things to do, let the Rotring Renaissance Fountain Pen bring a touch of early 80's Berlin into your everyday life. It’s more than just a pen—it’s a piece of history, a symbol of quality, and a testament to the enduring spirit of Berlin.

2024.05.28 23:53 BadGuyBusters2020 Is it weird that his profile pic is one that I took of him?
I don’t know why it bothers me, but I feel weird about it - almost angry. He blocked me on all social media, but when he changed his profile pic on Facebook, this new pic showed up on our old Messenger conversations.
I took the pic while we were on a short vacation last year, which was about a 70% success score on the “great” scale.
Has this happened to anyone else? Thoughts?

2024.05.28 23:42 Scifiase Caergwynt: A homebrew domain that combines Lovecraftian Deep Ones, dragonflesh grafting, and welsh mythology.
So I've been working on this one for quite some time, running sessions here since November, so I thought I'd finally share with the class. My previous domains have all the highly streamlined into a specific gimmick (or if you're being less generous, one-trick ponies), and I wanted to transition to an episodic style campaign for scheduling and session-planning reasons. So I challenged myself to make something that had a lot of potential in the type of sessions, terrain, and factions. I'm pleased with the result and I have endless fun. Dragonmine dungeons, sea monster hunts, and up to my armpits in murder mysteries (Involving everything from serial killers, forced marriages to sea creatures, finding shipwrecks, and backstreet grafting, and their current conundrum involving medieval compacts and mining rights).
What I have here is the stripped down version, hence the lack of things like a detailed backstory, NPCs, or the factions I'm mentioned. These things all exist, but there's far too much for a random reddit post.
Darklord: Dr James Pugh
Genres: Body horror, cosmic horror
Hallmarks: A cursed piscine populace, dragon-flesh grafting surgery, a seaside town.
Mist Talismans: A preserved dragon’s bladder, A piece of leather with a triple-eye tattoo, a carver’s blade
A thousand years ago the people of Dan-y-Mor bargained with the Deep Ones of Thol’Yth, a bargain that caused their home to sink into the sea and has left a corrupting mark on their bloodline to this day. But times have moved on, and in the seaside tourist town of Caergwynt the people try to throw off the chains of the sea and embrace modernity. Dr James Pugh, master surgeon, alchemist, and prodigal son of Caergwynt, brough home with him the discoveries of Dragon-flesh grafting, and how the power within draconic meat can counteract the curse that afflicts them as they age.
But along with innovations, Pugh has brought twisted ideals of supremacy, callousness, and self-loathing to the town. Behind the pastel painted houses and ice-cream stands, Pugh holds the domain in the grips of his ideology. In Caergwynt both beauty and ugliness are skin deep; horror lies beneath both.
And where are they getting this dragon flesh?
· The coastal population is cursed by their piscine ancestry. Though they appear human to begin with, they start to warp into fish-like beings as the enter middle-age, until eventually they can’t survive on land.
· Magic and the occult arts aren’t banned in the town, but they pride themselves in their modern thinking, and so both are rare and seen with suspicion. Alchemy is very popular, as is natural philosophy of all kinds, though scientific truth is often clouded in ideological bias.
· Minor surgeries involving dragon flesh is hugely popular in the town, primarily as it staves off the piscine transformation. Draconic virtues such as wealth, independence, and power are idealised, while meekness, poverty, and laziness are seen as the result of oceanic taint.
· The inland parts of the domain are mountainous and sparsely populated, but under the mountains dragons lie hibernating in the hundreds. Through use of industrial quantities of sedatives, mining teams, and the skilled blades of the ‘Carvers’, they remove the flesh of living dragons for sale to surgeons.
The domain extends another 13 miles inland to the east, almost immediately rising into rolling mountain ranges worn smooth eons ago by glaciers. Beneath these mountains are rich veins of ore, usually lead, copper, tin, silver, and even gold. Not to mention another, slumbering, treasure. These ridges and valleys are mostly populated by sheep farmers and miners, and their distance from the civilised towns means the old traditions still hold strong. Travellers here are likely to be vexed by the remaining fey spirits, whom they have likely offended by breaking their baffling codes.
Lastly, to the west is 13 miles of sea. Beneath the sea here is the remains of Dan-y-Mor, the lands that were drowned. Legends tell that the dragon Rhodri Efydd drowned these lands to punish the people there for their pact with the Deep Ones, and that it’s the survivors of this event that settled in Caergwynt and established the cursed bloodlines that still dwell there. The ruins are now populated by the Deep Ones, and the seas are treacherous to those who do not pay tribute to them.
Caergwynt town The main settlement and namesake of the domain, Caergwynt town is the seat of James Pugh’s power, and the nexus for his ideas. A rail line connects the town to the wider world through the mists, bringing tourists from far and wide to enjoy its pastel houses, seaside attractions, and healthy sea air. The town has grown incredibly rapidly over the past fifty years, so many of the houses are relatively new, painted brightly, and have plumbing. Wealthier houses often have electricity even, as Pugh idealises technological progress as a means of freeing oneself from the overlords of old.
Along the seafront promenade one can find ice-cream stands, circus acts, and countless sun loungers. Many children paddle in the shallows, under the watchful eyes of the many lifeguards. An impressive pier thrusts out to sea over 600ft, hosting a bar, dancefloor, and bandstand, as well as being decorated by colourful electric lights along its whole length.
On an upward-thrust outcropping of stone overlooking the bay, the ruins of a medieval castle can be found. Though much of the old outer portions are now a pleasant picnic overlook, the ruins themselves act as a façade that conceals the home and workshop of Dr James Pugh, the regal remains cloaking the garish metal construction where Pugh conducts his experiments and surgeries.
Dan-y-Mor Long ago, these lands were cast into the sea for the betrayal of the people here to their own kin: In return for protection against floods, the elders of the town betrothed many of their younger relatives to the Deep Ones. When forced to confront the horror of what they’d done, they refused to repent, and so the dragon Rhodri Efydd flooded the land to try and kill off all those tainted by the deep.
Not only did he fail, but the Deep Ones now occupy the ruins in great numbers, growing their strength and plotting their control over the surface. Led by the high priest Xrilath, ancient human structures have been supplemented by cyclopean temples to unfathomable gods. Here Xrilath experiments in creating mutants for his legions, and plots to spread his insanity to all. His aristocrats constantly feud and war over slaves and territory, and his priests construct monuments to induce storms and curses over the ocean. Unnatural reefs and trenches can come and go under the force of their magic, and shipwrecks are a frequent sight.
To this day, the church bells of Dan-y-Mor can be heard when the sea mists are thick.
Llwyd North along the coastline, as the cliffs finally give way to pebbles and finally a sandy beach, sits the unfortunately named Llwyd. Behind the town lies the only flat terrain of the domain, but it is boggy and brackish and so of little use, without a safe harbour like it’s sibling settlement to nucleate around. Thus, it’s a stretched-out town of a few hundred, composing of only two streets running a mile each in parallel along the beach, with the only high ground occupied by a church and a small railway station.
Like Caergwynt, its populace are doomed to mutate as they age, but away from the most intense of Pugh’s influence, they see themselves as more at peace with their nature. Repulsed by their lack of self-repulsion, Pugh has successfully discredited the town as being run-down and dire, stalling its attempt to draw in tourists as Caergwynt has, despite superficially similar pastel houses and beach attractions. Without cash coming in, most of the town is now stuck in a cycle of dilapidation that makes true Pugh’s slander.
Of the ailing attractions, the most notable it the Abominarium, a fledgling zoo that pivoted to displaying captured cryptids and the occasional escaped carver’s pet when funds for proper zoo animals wasn’t available.
Porthniwl
This town lies at the very south of the domain, a ruined place that was bisected by the mists when they descended and never left. Formerly, it was the template that Caergwynt copied to reinvent itself, but now the ebb and flow of the mists leaves it inhospitable and maddening, populated only by aberrations, Aled Llias-y-mor’s Deep-One splinter faction, and insane pirates. The cultists worship and bargain with otherworldly entities that spawn from the mists, welcoming them as Xrilath’s distant kin.
Cwm Crith
Following the river Crith from its terminus in Caergwynt inland (Or better yet, simply taking the narrow-gauge train with the miners each morning) will eventually lead to Cwm Crith, the upper reaches of the Crith valley. Formerly a loose scattering of shepherds, the valley has become dominated by Pugh’s dragonflesh mines that have poked holes in the mountainside. Leaked poisons, smelting effluent, and the residue of toxic ores has rendered the river a pretty but toxic blue colour, and decimated the agriculture of the valley.
While not the only dragonflesh mining compound in the domain, Cwm Crith is by far the busiest and most profitable. Owned of course by Dr James Pugh, Cwm Crith Mining Company, and its subsidiary the Goldscale Carvers, is an economic powerhouse by the standards of the other businesses in the domain. Along with dragon flesh, the draconic influence that seeps into the rocks has imbued the region with rich veins of ore that facilitates the industry of the domain.
Having left the decrepit town as a teenager, Pugh returned with a surprising supply of cash, a doctorate, and ambitious ideas about how the town should enter the bold new world of industry that was emerging. When he returned with a mysterious supply of money, he quickly set to work rebuilding his hometown to fit his own ideas. Where as the curse of their bloodline was formerly an accepted fact of life in the town, he introduced shame of their heritage along with the pioneering surgeries that could counteract it.
Dr James Pugh's Powers and Dominion
Despite being over seventy years old, Pugh appears to be in excellent health. Tall and lean, it’s clear to anyone meeting him, and confirmed by any who knew him as a youth, that he has always possessed an angular but handsome face, one that has only ever expressed seriousness or coldly simmering rage.
However, while age hasn’t affected him too greatly, his own surgery has: He has reptilian eyes, shimmering gold in the irises, and faint golden flecks in all visible skin. Golden scales can be seen around his neck and hands, though his habitual long-sleeved shirts don’t reveal much else. While most grafting subjects are left with swollen and distorted scars to be covered with heavy layers of make-up, Pugh’s few visible stiches are immaculate.
He always wears well made but not flamboyant clothing, so that it is his body, not attire, that draws the eye. Always practical, he is never seen in anything other than the ideal apparel for the occasion.
Though Pugh’s physical self is as full of hypocrisy as his ideology. Despite every sign of refinement and control, he can only maintain this visage by regular consumption of an expensive dragon-blood potion.
His true form, a consequence of his self-inflicted experiments, is a monstrous brute, with heavy staples holding together draconic and human flesh. These wounds are rife with infections that causes him to ooze pus and blood as he moves. While his hulking asymmetrical frame is strong, he suffers greatly from migraines, and thus his intelligence is drowned out by pain and anger. In a mockery of a dragon’s breath weapon, he can vomit great quantities of phosphorescent acid that ignites on contact with air.
Despite seeming to be bursting at the seams, his constitution is remarkable. He has survived poisoning, blood loss, strangulation, and many of his own experimental procedures beyond any reasonable explanation. Grievous wounds will render him in an apparently dead state for several days, but so far he has always woken back up.
However Pugh doesn’t hold sway over the domain by brute force, for almost none know his true condition. His true power is ideological and economic.
With his stolen money, he made many early investments into the mining sector, paid for the rail line that feeds visitors into the town, is the landlord of many homes in the town, and financed most of the tourist attractions. From this he earns a reliable and steady fortune that frees him up to pursue his research, and gives him leverage over a significant amount of the town as their landlord or employer.
Whilst the domains police are not officially under his command, his generous donations, forensic assistance, and loyal local politicians means that they tend to act in his favour.
And when he needs direct actions take, he has the Goldscale Carvers.
As their owner, he has cultivated a collection of brutal and loyal men who aren’t afraid of dirty work. They are also the unofficial biohazard containment specialists of the domain, so Pugh will gladly invent some hazard the police are ill-suited to handle when he wants things handled by his goons.
If attacked, he can choose to transform into his monstrous true form, but will resist doing so at almost any cost. Instead, he is comfortable in using potions and a dueling pistol, along with some magic that resides in him from all his tampering with dragon’s blood.
Dr James Pugh's Torment
· Xrilath is occupied full time with undermining Pugh’s ideology and trying to engineer his fall from grace. The mad aboleth believes only by bringing Pugh down to his level will they all be free of the mists (He’s not wrong either).
· Pugh relies on the dragonflesh mines to not only make money, but also perpetuate his ideology of grafting. Yet he’s terrified one day a dragon will break loose and take revenge on him for his crimes against them.
· Despite all his talk, Pugh has the most monstrous, most obscene grafts of everyone. By his own preaching, if anyone found out, they’d cast him down for his weakness.
Roleplaying Dr Jame Pugh
Pugh is a man of many dualities, hypocrisy made flesh. He’s the tortured spirit of a man whose self-image and true self are incompatible. Pugh’s motives are a web of his enlightened philosophies and base desires. What welds them together is his determination, an iron rod that glows hot enough to burn but never bends.
Pugh believes that gracious physical form belies a noble mind, and vice versa. And that his surgeries are not simple jobs of stitching and cutting, but a means of balancing out a noble intellect with a suitable body, if said body has been unfairly tainted. He blames failed surgeries and the common madness that comes from them on the result of unworthy recipients trying to claim grander forms than they deserve. He practices phrenology, the pseudoscience of determining character from the shape of one’s skull. He will often offer to undertake a phrenological exam on new acquaintances and prospective clients, and fills in the results with assumptions and what knowledge he has gathered on them so far.
In another brazen display of circular logic, he believes that the taint of the deep ones hides the town’s true draconic ancestry, and that the surgery simply helps it rise to the surface. Yet his own true body is a mockery of his own art, the most gruesome of all his patients is himself, and his grandeur is only a façade.
Most tragically, is that from a young age, Pugh has adored the legends of old. He envies the way that the world used to make sense, that people could earn their place by their qualities, and that larger-than-life characters decided the fate of the world. Yet he’s too astute to be blind to the apathetic randomness of the modern world, where logic and science tell us that nobody is truly important. This manifests in his ideology of great people displaying draconic traits, and sometimes in his more crazed experiments…
For Dr James Pugh does go mad. Sometimes for days at a time, he’ll whip himself into a stupor of narcotics and paranoia, lock himself in his laboratory, and perform experiments that would sicken even himself in the light of day. Mockeries of beast of legends, such as drakes and chimeras, are a common result of this.
Bonds: “I have a lot of work still ahead of me: I must fend of the nefarious Deep Ones, perfect my work of removing their curse, and outs my rivals for this kingdom I have built.”
Ideals: “A man should be strong, unwavering, and bold. What he owns is proof of his power. A graceful visage belies a respectable heart.”
Flaws: “I’m surrounded by enemies at all time! I can’t trust anyone! Paranoid? I’ll show you paranoia!” “I’m terrified of dragons.” “My body and blood are tainted and I’m worried I won’t be able to undo any of it.”
Traits: “Yes I’m the smartest man in the room. Any room. All rooms. I take what I want, and by successfully doing so, I prove that I am right to do so.”
Despite his exhaustive list of flaws, Dr James Pugh is an extremely capable individual. Along with his academic brilliance, he has a keen mind for business, strategy, and social manipulation. He can be charming, though more often opts for an aloof commanding presence. Knowing how durable he’s become, he rarely shows fear.
Pugh will try to befriend anyone who seems well-learned, strong-willed, and bold. He’ll compliment those he believes are following his ideals, but the closer they come to being his ideal man, the more he’ll see them as a rival.
Adventures in Caergwynt
By its design, Caergwynt has a wide variety of locations to explore, and several factions to interact with. The ocean is riddled with the feuding Deep Ones, shipwrecks, and the mutated kin of Caergwynt. Inland is host to fey and ghosts that bedevil the simple farming folk, as well as with dragonflesh mines. Caergwynt town is a hotbed for backstreet surgeries, families torn apart by biology, and the clash of the old ways against the new. And while the domain is modern enough for gunpowder, steam trains, and even the odd electric bulb, the history of a thousand years ago still casts its shadow into the current day.
· A pair of serial killers have been abducting those with dragon grafts ripping out the valued flesh, and selling it on the black market. Can anyone track them down?
· A man driven mad by his grafts has become obsessed with a 30 year old shipwreck, claiming that the sunken treasure aboard is his hoard, and has hired help finding it and taking it from a Deep One noble.
· A valuable item has been hidden in an abandoned mineshaft, but the Goldscale carvers have started using it as a convenient place to farm their carrion crawlers.
· A washed-up sea monster has started an outbreak of a strange disease. Pugh is confident he can create a cure, but needs someone to hunt down a living specimen.
· Sightings of a strange creature have spread around the town. Is it a monster from the ocean, or was it created closer to home. To find out, one would have to race the carvers to find and kill it, lest any evidence disappear.

Noteworthy Features
Those familiar with [Domain Name] know these facts:· The coastal population is cursed by their piscine ancestry. Though they appear human to begin with, they start to warp into fish-like beings as the enter middle-age, until eventually they can’t survive on land.
· Magic and the occult arts aren’t banned in the town, but they pride themselves in their modern thinking, and so both are rare and seen with suspicion. Alchemy is very popular, as is natural philosophy of all kinds, though scientific truth is often clouded in ideological bias.

Geography and locations
At the heart of the domain lies the town of Caergwynt, for which the domain is named, though it extends well beyond the picturesque town. Coastline stretches to the north and south for 9 miles in each direction. Outside the town much of the coastline is steep cliffs with only occasional cove, until the northern most two miles, which level out into sand dunes and finally to an estuary, the river bisected by the mists.The domain extends another 13 miles inland to the east, almost immediately rising into rolling mountain ranges worn smooth eons ago by glaciers. Beneath these mountains are rich veins of ore, usually lead, copper, tin, silver, and even gold. Not to mention another, slumbering, treasure.

However Pugh doesn’t hold sway over the domain by brute force, for almost none know his true condition. His true power is ideological and economic.
With his stolen money, he made many early investments into the mining sector, paid for the rail line that feeds visitors into the town, is the landlord of many homes in the town, and financed most of the tourist attractions. From this he earns a reliable and steady fortune that frees him up to pursue his research, and gives him leverage over a significant amount of the town as their landlord or employer.
Whilst the domains police are not officially under his command, his generous donations, forensic assistance, and loyal local politicians means that they tend to act in his favour.
And when he needs direct actions take, he has the Goldscale Carvers.
As their owner, he has cultivated a collection of brutal and loyal men who aren’t afraid of dirty work. They are also the unofficial biohazard containment specialists of the domain, so Pugh will gladly invent some hazard the police are ill-suited to handle when he wants things handled by his goons.
If attacked, he can choose to transform into his monstrous true form, but will resist doing so at almost any cost. Instead, he is comfortable in using potions and a dueling pistol, along with some magic that resides in him from all his tampering with dragon’s blood.
Dr James Pugh's Torment
· Xrilath is occupied full time with undermining Pugh’s ideology and trying to engineer his fall from grace. The mad aboleth believes only by bringing Pugh down to his level will they all be free of the mists (He’s not wrong either).
· Pugh relies on the dragonflesh mines to not only make money, but also perpetuate his ideology of grafting. Yet he’s terrified one day a dragon will break loose and take revenge on him for his crimes against them.
· Despite all his talk, Pugh has the most monstrous, most obscene grafts of everyone. By his own preaching, if anyone found out, they’d cast him down for his weakness.
Roleplaying Dr Jame Pugh
Pugh is a man of many dualities, hypocrisy made flesh. He’s the tortured spirit of a man whose self-image and true self are incompatible. Pugh’s motives are a web of his enlightened philosophies and base desires. What welds them together is his determination, an iron rod that glows hot enough to burn but never bends.
Pugh believes that gracious physical form belies a noble mind, and vice versa. And that his surgeries are not simple jobs of stitching and cutting, but a means of balancing out a noble intellect with a suitable body, if said body has been unfairly tainted. He blames failed surgeries and the common madness that comes from them on the result of unworthy recipients trying to claim grander forms than they deserve. He practices phrenology, the pseudoscience of determining character from the shape of one’s skull. He will often offer to undertake a phrenological exam on new acquaintances and prospective clients, and fills in the results with assumptions and what knowledge he has gathered on them so far.
In another brazen display of circular logic, he believes that the taint of the deep ones hides the town’s true draconic ancestry, and that the surgery simply helps it rise to the surface. Yet his own true body is a mockery of his own art, the most gruesome of all his patients is himself, and his grandeur is only a façade.
Most tragically, is that from a young age, Pugh has adored the legends of old. He envies the way that the world used to make sense, that people could earn their place by their qualities, and that larger-than-life characters decided the fate of the world. Yet he’s too astute to be blind to the apathetic randomness of the modern world, where logic and science tell us that nobody is truly important. This manifests in his ideology of great people displaying draconic traits, and sometimes in his more crazed experiments…
For Dr James Pugh does go mad. Sometimes for days at a time, he’ll whip himself into a stupor of narcotics and paranoia, lock himself in his laboratory, and perform experiments that would sicken even himself in the light of day. Mockeries of beast of legends, such as drakes and chimeras, are a common result of this.
Bonds: “I have a lot of work still ahead of me: I must fend of the nefarious Deep Ones, perfect my work of removing their curse, and outs my rivals for this kingdom I have built.”
Ideals: “A man should be strong, unwavering, and bold. What he owns is proof of his power. A graceful visage belies a respectable heart.”
Flaws: “I’m surrounded by enemies at all time! I can’t trust anyone! Paranoid? I’ll show you paranoia!” “I’m terrified of dragons.” “My body and blood are tainted and I’m worried I won’t be able to undo any of it.”
Traits: “Yes I’m the smartest man in the room. Any room. All rooms. I take what I want, and by successfully doing so, I prove that I am right to do so.”
Despite his exhaustive list of flaws, Dr James Pugh is an extremely capable individual. Along with his academic brilliance, he has a keen mind for business, strategy, and social manipulation. He can be charming, though more often opts for an aloof commanding presence. Knowing how durable he’s become, he rarely shows fear.
Pugh will try to befriend anyone who seems well-learned, strong-willed, and bold. He’ll compliment those he believes are following his ideals, but the closer they come to being his ideal man, the more he’ll see them as a rival.
Adventures in Caergwynt
By its design, Caergwynt has a wide variety of locations to explore, and several factions to interact with. The ocean is riddled with the feuding Deep Ones, shipwrecks, and the mutated kin of Caergwynt. Inland is host to fey and ghosts that bedevil the simple farming folk, as well as with dragonflesh mines. Caergwynt town is a hotbed for backstreet surgeries, families torn apart by biology, and the clash of the old ways against the new. And while the domain is modern enough for gunpowder, steam trains, and even the odd electric bulb, the history of a thousand years ago still casts its shadow into the current day.
· A pair of serial killers have been abducting those with dragon grafts ripping out the valued flesh, and selling it on the black market. Can anyone track them down?
· A man driven mad by his grafts has become obsessed with a 30 year old shipwreck, claiming that the sunken treasure aboard is his hoard, and has hired help finding it and taking it from a Deep One noble.
· A valuable item has been hidden in an abandoned mineshaft, but the Goldscale carvers have started using it as a convenient place to farm their carrion crawlers.
· A washed-up sea monster has started an outbreak of a strange disease. Pugh is confident he can create a cure, but needs someone to hunt down a living specimen.
· Sightings of a strange creature have spread around the town. Is it a monster from the ocean, or was it created closer to home. To find out, one would have to race the carvers to find and kill it, lest any evidence disappear.
2024.05.28 22:24 Forward_Hyena_3871 She is not hooking up with Travis. Sorry to say but they are definitely still together...Here is the timeline and details
- A random person spotted them at an Ice cream date in March and managed to sneak in a pic despite them saying no to the photos (same bag as Kylie and Timmy have a history of wearing masks)
- Nick, one of the people Timothee is often seen around was spotted at the Sprinter's Launch Party. He was never spotted with the Kardashians before so why is he here
- Easter with the blurring of a name (definitely happened). In a recent post about Travis, people are now saying Travis was with her at Easter. When the easter situation was happening, it was already confirmed multiple times that he is in NYC like during the same time and everything. So no sorry to burst your bubbles but he wasn't.
- We found out Kylie's BFF/old assistant follows Timothee's BFF/assistant
- Pregnancy rumors and break up rumors started and US Weekly came out with exclusive source that they are still together but doing long distance due to filming. Please explain to me why Timothee would be okay with tabloids using his name with Kylie if they were already broken up especially when it could hurt his reputation?
- MET Gala: Kylie landed in NYC a few days before and there was zero photos of her there besides the MET gala event. So this proves that she clearly can be in NYC without being photographed. Meanwhile, someone mentioned seeing them at West Village getting bagels
- Elle Fanning (his current costar) liked and commented on a photo of Kylie's MET gala look. I was told she is close with photographer and showing support which is why she commented but there is deadass no evidence of them being close and the last time she commented on a photo was back in 2022
- Kylie was spotted out with a photoscreen of them. People are saying it was photoshopped but the only photo we have of it is from September with her finger blocking his nose meanwhile, in this one we can clearly see his nose. So the photoshopping must be hard to do especially in that lighting
- NYC Sightings.
- Kim's jet left in the middle of North's performance. She would definitely not leave in the middle of her daughter's performance. Someone else was using the jet and it landed at 4 am Saturday in NJ and left the day of. We are confirmed that Travis is with his kids in Monaco so I do believe Kylie's kids were on Kylie's jet with the nanny or Kris and Corey who are also in Europe.
- 2 random people spotted them at a restaurant at the same time and told deuxmoi about it. Deuxmoi meanwhile, posted it the day after. You are telling me a kylothee fan can predict the future and knew there would be conversation about Kim's jet (not even Kylie) landing in NYC and decided to make up a whole sighting rumors over it. It's just too much of a coincidence.
- Nicholas Brittel is such a specific name to be making up lies about. Like yeah he was in the photo with Timothee but I did not know him at all when someone posted it 2 weeks ago. Good for you if you know him but an average person or kjenner fans like you guys are claiming telling deuxmoi these rumors probably don't who he is.
- Kylie hasn't posted any thirst traps, random photos of her face/body, and tiktoks for the past few days. Like where is she?
- Cherry, a LA company run by their friends (Lauren's Perez brothers) just posted Travis on their story wearing that matching cap. How much you wanna bet, they gave these merch out recently to celebrities to promote their merch? Meanwhile, yall were jumping into conclusions they share hats
2024.05.28 20:10 Gazooonga Wayward VII
Prev First
What is a name really?
I had been asking myself that for the past few hours now. I realized that I couldn't continue on without a name, but I didn't even know where to start. I couldn't name myself just anything and hope to fit in, especially with how strange my appearance was to humans.
The Gothi who defended me (which I had learned was his title and not his actual given name), had also mentioned something about me being ‘Dragon-Kin’, which seemed to imply that there were more like me, at least biologically. That meant they had their own culture and beliefs that I would know nothing about if I ever met them. How would I ever fit in if I needed to? Would I even be accepted into their villages and towns or would I be shunned as some kind of madman?
I couldn't live like this, never having the answers I needed. I had to learn about them, and the rest of this wretched place, so I could at least have some idea of what to expect.
So I did what I always do: I consulted the journal. I pulled out the leather bound book and held the quill in my hand before considering what to ask first. My biggest concern was figuring out how to become used to this body, because it felt so wrong, but then I realized that if there was some kind of quick fix on how to become used to this strange body, the journal would have enlightened me earlier. So I decided not to disappoint myself. Instead, I'd ask something more simple to start out with.
What is my name?
Silence for a few moments, then my hand moved on its own once more, the journal responding. You were never given one. That was always for you to decide.
I sighed and stewed in that for a moment. I was back at square one again, but then I remembered what I had been told: I had been using the Journal wrong, hoping for it to answer all of my most vague and open ended questions. The journal might have been able to read my mind to a limited extent, but it couldn't always discern my desires and intentions. I had to be more specific.
So then maybe it would be better to put the cart before the horse in this one instance and see what he had to say about the dragon-kin before I chose a name, then maybe I could pick a good dragon-kin name that would help me fit in if I ever interacted with them.
What are Dragon-Kin? What are they like?
This time, the response was almost instantaneous. That is a complicated question. What would you like to know?
What is there to know?
Another immediate response, although this one almost seemed to be written out of frustration with how hard the quill touched the pages.
To answer that question, it would take days of nonstop writing, and more pages than you could possibly imagine. You need to be more specific.
He was right, of course: now that I thought about it, that question was impossibly open ended. Then what about their culture? What would I need to do to fit in?
Silence, for a minute. I was worried that I had asked a question he couldn't answer, but then my hand began to move once more. The Dragon-kin live along the warmer coasts of the world, and are prolific raiders, shrewd traders, and fearsome warriors. They are also slavers and worship Rhörldir as the supreme god instead of his brother Inir, who the humans worship as the supreme god. If you show strength and discipline, give glory to the father of dragonkind, and turn a blind eye to slavery, very few will question your authenticity as one of them, as to do so is a grave insult.
That didn't sit well with me. Is that why the humans in the village seem to hate me? They think I worship Rhörldir?
It is more complicated than that, The Journal replied, Rhörldir and Inir are trapped in an eternal struggle for dominance, but not the kind of struggle one would attribute to a war or a battle to the death. Think of it as a series of never ending, honorable duels and ploys that constantly shift the balance of power one way or another, but never fully tip the scales in any one way. It is the way of brothers to compete, after all.
That didn't really explain my question, I wrote back, will humans hate me because I worship Rhörldir, or because they think I'm a slaver?
No, The journal replied, Humans are static creatures compared to their other fair folk, like the elves and the dzedka, and tend to hate change. They see you as one intrusion of many into their sense of normalcy, and it doesn't help that there's apparently a bloodthirsty cult of natives attacking anyone who strays too far from the village. Once you prove yourself as a positive force in their loves, who you worship will be more of a source of jests and jokes, and you won't be attributed as a slaver. They are scared and desperate, as was the Høbding.
But will I fit in? I wrote down nervously, the cold feeling of anxiety settling in my stomach, Will I be seen as an equal, or simply be tolerated?
The journal was quiet for a long time, my hand not responding to its subconscious demands. So I simply sank back into the cool creek water, disappointed by the harsh reality of what the journal had confirmed: I needed to get home, wherever that was, because I wouldn't fit in here.
After a while, I felt an incredible urge to pick up the quill and write more, and soon I did. Immediately, the quill moved on its own, and the Journal replied. You will find those who will value you, it is written, but you must also understand that there are those who are not worth appeasing: they will only see you for what you are and not who you are. Have faith.
I set the quill down and looked into the woods, the shimmering of the midmorning dew and most in the scant rays of sunlight that pierced the canopy was oddly mesmerizing, and very peaceful. It helped me focus as I dug deeper into my thoughts.
Part of me wanted yet another excuse to reject all of this, to hope that all of this was just one bad dream that I'd eventually wake up from. But I knew that wasn't the case, and I was also worried that, if I had to make a life here, it'd be a pitiful and meaningless one where all I would ever be considered as would be a delusional outcast. What I really wanted was some piece of mind, but maybe I’d achieve that one day.
Now all I needed was a name. I had become distracted from my initial purpose. What name would I have? What is a dragon-kin name that would fit me?
There was a thoughtful pause, then an answer. I would say the name Varaxis suits you well. It means ‘to be illuminated’ in their oldest tongues.
I liked that name enough, so I figured I would keep it. I finally decided it was time to pull myself out of the creek and do something productive. I stepped out and laid in the sun for a bit to dry off, then once my scales were smooth but dry enough to have friction again, I put on my braies and leather trousers and slung the rest over my shoulder as I headed back to my room in the inn, ready to prepare to find the old Huskarl’s body.
Timeskip
The inn was quiet due to it still being midmorning, though there were a few individuals sitting around a table near the back. Æstrid bowed to me as I entered. Morning, M'lord, how can I be of service?”
“Just looking for some rations for the journey into the woods,” I said, “I'm going to find Huskarl Kothtal’s body for the Høbding so he can receive a proper burial, or so I've been told. Is there anywhere I could get a few water skins? I have food, just not enough clean water.”
“Aye, the tanner’s stall and the tailor, down by the other end of the creek, should have what you're looking for,” she explained as she began doing up some onions and chopping garlic for a stew and tossing it into a pot over the hearth behind the bar, “and if I may, M'lord, you may want to get some warmer clothes: the spring is still bitterly cold in the mornings, especially after a good rain like we had for a few days before you arrived. I'm sure the tailor could find a coat and a mantle that will fit over your armor.”
I actually hadn't thought about that, but she was right: it was too damn cold for me to be walking around with just a gambeson on. “Thank you, I appreciate the advice,” I said before digging a coin out of my bag awkwardly and tossing it to her, “You take care.”
“Blessings from the gods be upon ye,” she called back to me as I entered my room, “and I wish nothing but luck upon you, M'lord.”
I walked into the room, set my pack down, and examined everything. I still had the mace and shield, but I decided to leave those: they would weigh me down, and I preferred the longsword anyway. Then it was simply a matter of getting dressed and getting everything I needed before I headed over to the tanner and the tailor for what I needed. The idea of a coat and a mantle seemed pretty enticing actually, and maybe I could get something a little more warm and protective to wear under my ragged old breastplate than just a worn and patched gambeson.
The villagers still seemed wary of me, although they were less straightforward about it to not offend me. They always scurried away when I walked by, ending conversations early or switching chores mid-work to get away. And when someone was doing something they couldn't put down so easily, like the blacksmith who seemed to have been repairing some farm equipment, they refused to make eye contact with me and kept their heads down, as if they were hoping and praying I'd move along.
That actually made me a bit angry: I understood the journal’s reasoning from earlier, but it was no excuse to be rude to me. So I decided to see how far they would go to avoid me, maybe see if I could change their minds in the process.
I approached the blacksmith, and I could practically hear him hiss a string of curses under his breath. He dunked an unfinished scythe into the quench bucket and tried to walk back into his storeroom, but I raised my clawed hand to signal to him. “Blacksmith! Might I have a word?”
He froze and looked over his shoulder before sighing and attempting to straighten out his red wool shirt and dust off his black apron. “Aye, how can I help you, M’lord?” He said, eyeing me warily.
“I was in the market for some new armor, and I figured you'd be able to forge me some while I'm out completing a task for the Høbding,” I said, racking my brain for what I'd need. Maybe chainmail? Plate armor was probably both expensive and heavy, and while I did have a decent bit of money I didn't feel like spending it all on armor when I'd need money for room and board, food, and maybe even a horse. I had no desire to walk everywhere, so a horse would be ideal. “What would a good hauberk cost me?”
The old blacksmith sputtered and bounced on the balls of his feet. “I- I'm just a humble toolsmith M'lord,” he said, “I don't make good armor, maybe the scant mail for some of the frimann, but nothing someone like you would want, M'lord.”
“I'm not looking for much, just some decent armor to replace this old, dented breastplate with,” I insisted. I unstrapped it and presented it to him. It was beginning to rust on the edges and stain my gambeson, and there were plenty of dents in the armor. “You wouldn't happen to have any chainmail in the back? I'd pay handsomely.” I pulled out a few gold coins from my pack and showed them to him, at least fifteen of them. He gulped, eyes focused on the coins, and for a moment I thought he might crack. But no, he held firm against my offers. “I couldn't, M'lord, I don't know how to design armor for you,” he said, “you're too different and too big, so yer measurements would be different than what I could work with.”
“Shame, I was willing to pay more,” I said, ready to put the coins away, but he wasn't finished.
“Wait, M'lord,” he said, “th- there's a dragon-kin armorsmith in Ljosavatnsskaro, with a big forge along the docks. Apparently he makes armor for some of the dragon-kin warriors who raid further west, and he was the one who Kothtal purchased his armor from before being chosen as Huskarl for the previous Høbding. That smith should be able to get you what you need.”
I thought about that for a moment. The idea of dealing with a dragon-kin still unnerved me, but I wasn't beyond the irony of that feeling since I was trying to get these villagers to accept me as well. Maybe it was time I let go and took a risk, to see if I could fit in with them when I had a chance.
Maybe Kothtal could teach me, maybe he'd be willing to teach me about the Dragon-kin once I rescued him, if he was even still alive that is. I'd have to pursue that once I figured out where he was, and if he was dead or not.
“Thank you for the information, blacksmith, what is your name?”
“I am Æirik, M'lord, and I'm the local toolsmith. I wish I could be of more use.”
“Nonsense,” I said, tossing him a coin, “take care, blacksmith: I must be on my way, but I hope you won't be as anxious around me in the future, I won't bite.”
He turned red as a tomato when I called him out, but didn't respond. I nodded to him and walked away, heading for the tanner and the trailer soni could get the rest of what I needed and get going on this quest.

“I was in the market for some new armor, and I figured you'd be able to forge me some while I'm out completing a task for the Høbding,” I said, racking my brain for what I'd need. Maybe chainmail? Plate armor was probably both expensive and heavy, and while I did have a decent bit of money I didn't feel like spending it all on armor when I'd need money for room and board, food, and maybe even a horse. I had no desire to walk everywhere, so a horse would be ideal. “What would a good hauberk cost me?”
The old blacksmith sputtered and bounced on the balls of his feet. “I- I'm just a humble toolsmith M'lord,” he said, “I don't make good armor, maybe the scant mail for some of the frimann, but nothing someone like you would want, M'lord.”
“I'm not looking for much, just some decent armor to replace this old, dented breastplate with,” I insisted. I unstrapped it and presented it to him. It was beginning to rust on the edges and stain my gambeson, and there were plenty of dents in the armor. “You wouldn't happen to have any chainmail in the back? I'd pay handsomely.” I pulled out a few gold coins from my pack and showed them to him, at least fifteen of them. He gulped, eyes focused on the coins, and for a moment I thought he might crack. But no, he held firm against my offers. “I couldn't, M'lord, I don't know how to design armor for you,” he said, “you're too different and too big, so yer measurements would be different than what I could work with.”
“Shame, I was willing to pay more,” I said, ready to put the coins away, but he wasn't finished.
“Wait, M'lord,” he said, “th- there's a dragon-kin armorsmith in Ljosavatnsskaro, with a big forge along the docks. Apparently he makes armor for some of the dragon-kin warriors who raid further west, and he was the one who Kothtal purchased his armor from before being chosen as Huskarl for the previous Høbding. That smith should be able to get you what you need.”
I thought about that for a moment. The idea of dealing with a dragon-kin still unnerved me, but I wasn't beyond the irony of that feeling since I was trying to get these villagers to accept me as well. Maybe it was time I let go and took a risk, to see if I could fit in with them when I had a chance.
Maybe Kothtal could teach me, maybe he'd be willing to teach me about the Dragon-kin once I rescued him, if he was even still alive that is. I'd have to pursue that once I figured out where he was, and if he was dead or not.
“Thank you for the information, blacksmith, what is your name?”
“I am Æirik, M'lord, and I'm the local toolsmith. I wish I could be of more use.”
“Nonsense,” I said, tossing him a coin, “take care, blacksmith: I must be on my way, but I hope you won't be as anxious around me in the future, I won't bite.”
He turned red as a tomato when I called him out, but didn't respond. I nodded to him and walked away, heading for the tanner and the trailer soni could get the rest of what I needed and get going on this quest.

2024.05.28 16:23 cthulupussy wow, they need to revisit HoT adventures.
I've been clearing out all the HoT adventure (gold & silver) masteries and HOLY HECK these things are buggy as hell.
I think "Tendril Torchers", "Floor is Lava" and "Shooting Gallery" probably felt the most skill-based and rewarding of players trying new paths, etc.
Long kinda ranty post but I spent all yesterday tryna clear every HoT mastery point off the map and some of these (scrap rifle I'm looking at you) are actually some of the worst content ive ever played in this game, and EASILY the worst parts of HoT. Glad to be done with it, hope I'm not about to lose it when I do the same for Path of Fire.
TL;DR fix the fucking mushroom in scrap rifle field test I beg you Anet.

- Sanctum Scramble, the number 2 ability is buggy and fails to start/stop correctly sometimes. It also pings off to the side if you hit a pebble, costing you a gold medal on a good run. Also the quickest runs of this are just throwing the 3 ability as high up as possible and skipping vast sections.
- Scrap Rifle Field Test. Oh my god I hate this one, the bounce mushroom at back is bugged and takes you nowhere (I've checked, there are old videos of it working properly). The rifle damage scales with stats so with my build it happened to be really fucking annoying. The chak also have such bugged out aggression that they genuinely forget they're in combat and walk off, making it really hard to get Gold because too many stragglers means the spawns are WAYY slower on the bottom level. PAIN/10
- Masks of the Fallen is genuinely RNG dependant on whether it's possible to get Gold rank. Sometimes the masks spawn close together and it's easy, sometimes you get 6 masks in a row that are on opposite sides of the room. Not fun.
- Haywire Punch-O-Matic Golem is not the worst but they actually give you 2 literally useless skills and the way you win is by pressing 2 over and over and over. Smacking around 25 chak at the same time is fun but this mini game is not.

2024.05.28 16:13 redlight886 February 1998 PLAYBOY interview with Conan
PLAYBOY Interview With Conan O'Brien Interview by Kevin Cook For Playboy Magazine February 1998 Part 3
Playboy: Now that you're doing so well do you worry about losing your edge? O'Brien: I fear being a victim of success. It's seductive. You have new choices. "Conan, Sylvester Stallone wants to be on, but we're already booked." My feeling is that I must say no to Stallone. "Sorry, Sly. Bob Denver's on that night.
Playboy: How's your relationship with NBC executives now that the show is a success? O'Brien: Better. But I have not forgotten the bad old days. Let me tell you about one executive. He's no longer with the company. I had him killed. But in our darker days he came to the set one night after we did a great show. I come off after the show and this guy says, "Wow, that was terrible." He thought the show should look like MTV. "Run into the audience and tell jokes. Run up to a guy, have him shout his name, get everybody cheering."
Playboy: You didn't agree apparently. O'Brien: Too much of television is energy with no purpose. People going "Whoo!" But that's just empty energy. That's American Gladiators. I often try to lower the energy, especially when school is out and college kids are here. They're huge fans, they're psyched, but we're a quirky comedy show, not MTV Spring Break.
Playboy: Were you thrilled when the Marv Albert sex case hit the news? O'Brien: Oh man, was I into Marv. I would love to trick you into thinking I'm high-minded, but that story made me think, My God, yes, I'll use this, and this... But it bothered me the way he was publicly vilified. People were getting off on the kinky stuff; they condemned Marv for wearing women's clothing, which isn't a crime.
Playboy: Yet tonight you did a Marv Albert joke. You said Marv had a new job as a mannequin at Victoria's Secret. O'Brien: You can be uncomfortable with it and still use it. Isn't that what guilt is all about?
Playboy: What comedy bits do you regret doing? O'Brien: We did one with a character called Randy the Pyloric Sphincter. Now, the point of the joke is that this is not the sphincter that excrement passes through. The pyloric sphincter is at the top of the digestive tract. It basically keeps acid from going up into the oesophagus.
We had a guy in a sphincter costume and a cowboy hat. He says, "Hi kids, I'm Randy the Pyloric Sphincter. No, not that bad sphincter! When food passes through me, it isn't digested yet." He then proceeds to squeeze foods that look like shit whether they're digested or not. Chocolate. Picture a sphincter exuding a huge chocolate bar. We were grossing people out.
Playboy: So why put Randy on the air? O'Brien: I just loved the fact that he wore a cowboy hat.
Playboy: What sorts of bits do you refuse to do? O'Brien: Arbitrary humor. "Here's the sketch: Conan jumps into a barrel of wheat germ." I'll ask him what the joke is. "It's crazy, that's all."
Look, I was a comedy writer. I've been through this before. If the joke is that there is no joke, the writer gets no paycheck.
Playboy: Jumping into wheat germ sounds like Letterman. O'Brien: My show began with me and everyone involved with the show doing all we could to avoid being anything like Letterman. Which is difficult. He invented a lot of the form. He carved out a big territory. He's the Viking who discovered America, and now I have my little piece of northwestern Canada that I'm trying to claim as my own.
Playboy: So how do you avoid being Dave-like? O'Brien: We have always scrupulously avoided found comedy. You never see me going up and talking to normal Joe on the street. The real word of people, dogs, cabbies -- Letterman is great at that. His genius, I think, is playing with the real world around him. Which is not my forte at all. My idea is more about creating a fake, cartoony world and playing with that.
Playboy: Are you goofy in real life? O'Brien: My private life is boring. I've been with the same woman, Lynn Kaplan, for four years, and there ain't nothing crazy going on. Lynn is a talent booker on our show. We go to my house in Connecticut on weekends. I sit around playing guitar.
Playboy: Gossip columnists have placed you in Manhattan with other women. O'Brien: One of them had me with Courteney Cox. Lisa Kudrow and I did improv together years ago and we went out for a while. Maybe that's why I can now be romantically linked to the entire cast of Friends. I may be thrilled with that, but my girlfriend is one of those people who believes everything they read in the tabloids. She's sitting at the table in Connecticut when she opens a tabloid and says, "What the hell?" There's a big photo of me with Courteney Cox. The story says, "Courteney's moving in with Conan."
Playboy: Did Lynn believe it? O'Brien: No, because the story went on to say, "Conan and Courteney were seen at the Fashion Cafe munching veggie burgers." That sentence ended her faith in tabloids. Lynn knows that I would never (a) go to the Fashion Cafe and (b) eat a veggie burger. I'm an Irish-Catholic kid from Boston; I'll eat red meat until my heart explodes out of my chest.
Playboy: Do you still drive an old Ford Taurus? O'Brien: When I got my five-year contract I moved up. Bought a Range Rover. Now I drive the Range Rover to Connecticut for the weekend, park it and tool around in the Taurus all weekend. I can't let go of that Taurus. It's an extension of my penis.
Playboy: Can you forget about the show on weekends? O'Brien: I drive around playing Jerry Reed tapes, fantasizing that I'm some backwoods character. But even then -- you know, it's probably not an accident that people who do these shows tend to be depressive. You want so badly for it to be right every night, but mounting an hour-long show four times a week -- the pace will kill you. One night I put my fist through a tile wall. Another night, I walked off the stage, pulled an air-conditioning unit out of the wall and kicked it. This stuff I can't explain. Nor can I excuse it. But there may be something maddening about these shows. The pace is... I forget shows we did last week. That's why I can't imagine doing this for 30 years. I bet you could show Johnny Carson footage of how he shrieked as his body was lowered into acid and he's say, "Hmm, don't remember that one."
I saw Jerry Seinfeld at the Emmy Awards. He said he liked the show, then he paused and said, "How do you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Do what you do every night for an hour?"
That shocked me. This is Jerry Seinfeld, the master. A man everyone can agree is funny. And I really have no answer.
Playboy: Praise from Seinfeld must cheer you up. O'Brien: (Shaking his head) I worry that we have hit our stride and must be headed for a fall. Because every show has an arc. The Honeymooners had an arc. People forget, but The Honeymooners was mean and depressing. Art Carney wasn't fun and cuddly yet. Even successful shows take time to find their rhythm. Then they get self-indulgent and fuck it up. Look at late Happy Days episodes. They quit shooting on location, Mork keeps visiting, and it's an excuse to spin off new shows.
Playboy: Will you fuck it up, too? O'Brien: Eventually my only consolation may be that I get paid a lot. I'll say, "I know it sucks, but I'm getting $65 million a year!"
Playboy: Letterman said almost exactly that not long ago. When a joke died he admitted it sucked. "But I'm making a fortune!" he said. Do you really worry about losing your edge? O'Brien: I want a living will for my career. I want the people around me to pull the plug when I become a self-parody, an old blowhard like Alan Brady. Remember him, the television star Rob Petrie worked for on the Dick Van Dyke Show? Pompous, over-the-top, over-the-hill. I don't want to be Alan Brady.
Playboy: Letterman paid you an odd compliment. "When I see that show it withers me with exhaustion," he said. O'Brien: That's our new slogan. "Watch Late Night -- We'll wither you." But I think Dave was saying that he knows how hard it is to make a show like this every night.
Playboy: Suppose Leno left The Tonight Show. Would you like to duel Dave at 11:30? O'Brien: Our best slot would be eight A.M.. We have puppets, cartoons, lots of childishness. I think I'm doing an OK late-night show but it's a great kids' show.
Playboy: This from Mr. Hip? O'Brien: No. When someone says this or that sort of comedy is hip and alternative -- "Yes, these are cool people" -- I hate that. Because at the end of the day, funny is funny. People get fooled about me because I went to Harvard. "He's cerebral." But I love Green Acres. I love how Green Acres bends reality.
Playboy: Sounds cerebral. O'Brien: It isn't. In one episode Oliver Douglas has to go to Washington, D.C. His wife says, "Darling, take a picture of the Eiffel Tower." He says, "Lisa, the Eiffel Tower ---" Then Eb comes in. "Mr. Douglas, git me an Eiffel Tower postcard!" Now Oliver is terribly frustrated. He keeps sputtering about Washington, D.C., but nobody listens. At the end, he goes to Washington, looks up, and there's the Eiffel Tower. That is the kind of thing that made me love T.V.
Playboy: As a TV-mad college kid you cooked up scams to meet celebs. O'Brien: I wanted to meet Bill Cosby, so my friends and I offered him some fake award. We took a bowling trophy and called it the Harvard Comedy Award, something like that, and Cosby, thinking it was the Hasty Pudding Award, accepted. So I drive out to meet his private plane. "Over here, Mr. Cosby!" And I chauffeur him in my dad's second hand station wagon. Cosby sits in the backseat, picking old McDonald's wrappers off the floor, and says, "This is about the Hasty Pudding Award?"
"Oh no, nothing like that."
Playboy: You tricked Bill Cosby into letting you drive him around? O'Brien: I didn't realize that one does not pick up a famous person in a 1976 station wagon. They like to fly first-class, to be picked up in a Town Car and put up in a nice hotel. Fortunately I am not directly involved in celebrity care anymore.
Playboy: Did you bring other comics to Harvard? O'Brien: Yes. John Candy's people warned me that John was on the Pritikin diet. They gave me strict dietary instructions. John immediately ran into a bakery on Harvard Square to get pastries. He said they were Pritikin eclairs.
Playboy: You once stole a famous television costume. O'Brien: When Burt Ward visited Harvard there were fliers all over the campus: Burt Ward to Appear With Original Robin Costume (Insured by Lloyd's of London for $500,000). In fact, Burt Ward was said to keep a bunch of them in his car; he'd pass them out to impress girls. Naturally, I wanted to screw with him. A few friends and I attended his speech at the science center. We went dressed as security guards. I said, "Mr. Ward, I've been sent by the dean to safe guard the costume." As if it were the Shroud of Turin. But the guy is humorless. "Yes, very good. That costume is very valuable," he says.
That's when we hit the lights. Which works great in the movies. In the movies the lights go out and suddenly the jewel is gone. In real life, though, what you get is some dimming. You hit the lights and people can see a little less well.
Playboy: Did you grab the costume? O'Brien: We grabbed it and the chase was on. Some Burt Ward admirers -- young Republicans, I guess -- took off after us yelling, "Stop them!" But we escaped in a waiting car. We proceeded to torment Burt Ward for hours on the phone, saying, "This is the Joker, hee-hee-hee. I've got your costume."
Playboy: How did Burt react? O'Brien: Robinlike. He said, "Return it or you will feel my wrath!" Playboy: Burt Ward used to tell reporters he had an IQ of 200. O'Brien: He may be delusional.
Playboy: Were you always starstruck? O'Brien: Stars are fascinating. When I was a writer for Saturday Night Live, Robert Wagner did the show. One day he was sitting offstage, talking on the phone. He had on a camel-hair jacket, silk scarf, and of course his perfectly arranged Robert Wagner hair. "Very good, goodbye," he says, and hangs up. Suddenly his hand shoots up and touches the right side of his head, where the phone receiver may have disturbed a few hairs. At that point you know he has done this smooth move every day since 1948.
Playboy: You seem to prefer goofy celebs -- Jack Lord, William Shatner, Robert Stack. There are photos of Stack and Adam West, TV's Batman, here in your office. Do those guys know you are making fun of them? O'Brien: I'm not. I have a real affection for those men. To me, meeting Andy Griffith is just as interesting as interviewing Allen Ginsberg. I'm interested in Martin Scorsese and Gore Vidal as well as Jaleel White, TV's Urkel.
Playboy: How do Gore Vidal and Urkel compare? O'Brien: I'd say Jaleel White's prose style is not taken as seriously. But the same is true of Vidal's nerd character.
Playboy: As one of the writers on The Simpsons you helped create some memorable characters. O'Brien: What I loved about The Simpsons was that it wasn't a cartoon for kids. A cartoon might look like the friendliest thing in the world, but we were subversive. I loved it when we had Lisa write a patriotic essay in school: "Our country has the strongest, best educational system in the world after Canada, Germany, France, Great Britain..." It was this great sugarcoated cutting remark. I loved her for it.
Playboy: Tell us a Simpsons sercret. O'Brien: When Dan Castellaneta started doing Homer's voice, he was doing Walter Matthau. Like I said, it takes time to find your rhythm.
Playboy: So are you satisfied with your work? O'Brien: Intellectually, yes. The show works. Advertisers like to buy time on it. Young people really like it. But I was a moody, driven, self-critical person before I got this show, and that hasn't changed. It's just that I now have something even more frightening than a Saturday Night Live sketch or a Bart Simpson joke to worry about. I have an hour of comedy broadcast every night. My anxiety has finally met its match.
Playboy: Will you and Lynn get married? O'Brien: The core idea of being a comic, particularly a comic with a talk show, is control. Marriage is a leap of faith, a giving up of control. I'm not sure if I can make that leap.
Playboy: What about kids? O'Brien: What sort of dad would I make? Maybe this job and a normal family life are diametrically opposed. Dave, Jay, Bill Maher, Arsenio -- where are your kids? Jack Paar seemed to have a normal life with a wife and child, but you don't see much of that. And I believe that your kid should be the most important thing in your life. I may not have room, at least not now. I have Pimpbot to think about.
Playboy: Another foul mouthed Late Night character. O'Brien: Half-robot, half-Seventies street pimp. He's got a feathered hat and a metallic voice: "Gotta run my bitches. Run my ho's. I'll cut you." Right now my life revolves around Pimpbot.
Playboy: You need to settle a fashion question. You, Leno and Letterman seldom wear suits off stage. Leno likes flannel shirts, Letterman prefers jeans and sweatshirts. You wear T-shirts. Why wear a suit and tie on the air? O'Brien: There are two schools of thought on that. The Steve Martin approach says that you're putting on a show, so dress up for the people. The George Carlin approach says all that old showbiz stuff is over, this is the new way, so wear a T-shirt. I choose a jacket and tie because that's the uniform people expect talk show hosts to wear. If I came out in a mesh T-shirt and chains it might distract people from the comedy.
Playboy: How would you describe your show? O'Brien: It's a hybrid. If Carson defined the talk show and Letterman was the anti-talk show, where do you go next? That was the question we faced. What we did was make a show that has the visual trappings of the classic Tonight Show -- the desk, the band, the sidekick -- but with everything else perverted. When it works well I'd say my show is one part Carson, one part Charlie Rose and one part Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
Playboy: Do you have any advice for future talk show hosts? O'Brien: You had better love the job. Some hosts don't. You can see it in their eyes. Chevy Chase's talk show -- he did not want to be there. And if that's in your eyes you're finished, because there's another show tomorrow and next week and the week after that. You can't conquer it. You can do two or three or ten good shows in a row and still want to punch a wall when you slip up.
Playboy: Can you ever conquer your repressed childhood? O'Brien: It's always there. I still believe in moral absolutes. Murder, for instance, is wrong, unless it helps the show.
Playboy: Still, talk show hosts have perks most guys can only dream of. O'Brien: It's great to be played over to the desk. You finish your monologue, then the band kicks in as you cross the set. Fortunately, we have a great band. Even when people didn't like anything about the show, they loved the Max Weinberg Seven. The music heightens everything. Now you are more than just a guy in a suit, you're Co-nan O'Bri-en! I think every guy should have that -- if a band played you over to your rental car at the airport, you'd have a cooler day.
Playboy: Is Andy Richter your Ed McMahon? O'Brien: He's Andy. When we were getting started and the network wasn't sure of me, they kept asking, "Who's that Andy guy?" I think we've answered the question. Part of the show's rhythm is my energy played against the quiet steadiness of Andy.
Playboy: Is that rhythm genuine? O'Brien: Yes. Our mentalities mesh. I'm always dissatisfied. He's the guy saying, "Hey, relax. It's good enough." My girlfriend would be happy if I had a bit more of that in me.
Playboy: Who is the guest you can't get? O'Brien: Werner Klemperer. He refuses to revive Colonel Klink, the commandant he played on Hogan's Heroes. Which confuses me. Is he going to come up with another character at this late date -- Werner Klemperer as the aging black man or kung fu fighter? No, he's Colonel Klink.
Playboy: You once said that as a boy you wanted to be like Bob Crane in Hogan's Heroes, the cool guy who "wore a bomber jacket and wised off to Nazis." O'Brien: I asked Werner Klemperer to do some bits as Colonel Klink. He refused. Then a strange thing happened. We're shooting abit on the West Side when Werner Klemperer comes around the corner. Pulling his parka up to his chin, just like Colonel Klink, he walks past our film crew and says, "Hello, Conan. I must say the show is very good lately. Give my best to Andy. Farewell!" It was a cameo appearance in reality. He was there, he was gone. I wanted to shout, "Hey, Werner Klemperer just did a walk-on in my life."
Playboy: Are you losing the boundaries between your life and your job? O'Brien: There are no boundaries. At any minute Werner Klemperer may step in here and give me 30 days in the cooler. It's getting surreal. Just this morning I am going through the lobby downstairs when two girls see me. One girl nudges the other, "Look, it's the guy from Conan O'Brien!" I guess she couldn't quite place me, but she knew which show I was on.

The real word of people, dogs, cabbies -- Letterman is great at that. His genius, I think, is playing with the real world around him. Which is not my forte at all. My idea is more about creating a fake, cartoony world and playing with that.
Playboy: Are you goofy in real life? O'Brien: My private life is boring. I've been with the same woman, Lynn Kaplan, for four years, and there ain't nothing crazy going on. Lynn is a talent booker on our show. We go to my house in Connecticut on weekends. I sit around playing guitar.
Playboy: Gossip columnists have placed you in Manhattan with other women. O'Brien: One of them had me with Courteney Cox. Lisa Kudrow and I did improv together years ago and we went out for a while. Maybe that's why I can now be romantically linked to the entire cast of Friends. I may be thrilled with that, but my girlfriend is one of those people who believes everything they read in the tabloids. She's sitting at the table in Connecticut when she opens a tabloid and says, "What the hell?" There's a big photo of me with Courteney Cox. The story says, "Courteney's moving in with Conan."
Playboy: Did Lynn believe it? O'Brien: No, because the story went on to say, "Conan and Courteney were seen at the Fashion Cafe munching veggie burgers." That sentence ended her faith in tabloids. Lynn knows that I would never (a) go to the Fashion Cafe and (b) eat a veggie burger. I'm an Irish-Catholic kid from Boston; I'll eat red meat until my heart explodes out of my chest.
Playboy: Do you still drive an old Ford Taurus? O'Brien: When I got my five-year contract I moved up. Bought a Range Rover. Now I drive the Range Rover to Connecticut for the weekend, park it and tool around in the Taurus all weekend. I can't let go of that Taurus. It's an extension of my penis.
Playboy: Can you forget about the show on weekends? O'Brien: I drive around playing Jerry Reed tapes, fantasizing that I'm some backwoods character. But even then -- you know, it's probably not an accident that people who do these shows tend to be depressive. You want so badly for it to be right every night, but mounting an hour-long show four times a week -- the pace will kill you. One night I put my fist through a tile wall. Another night, I walked off the stage, pulled an air-conditioning unit out of the wall and kicked it. This stuff I can't explain. Nor can I excuse it. But there may be something maddening about these shows. The pace is... I forget shows we did last week. That's why I can't imagine doing this for 30 years. I bet you could show Johnny Carson footage of how he shrieked as his body was lowered into acid and he's say, "Hmm, don't remember that one."
I saw Jerry Seinfeld at the Emmy Awards. He said he liked the show, then he paused and said, "How do you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Do what you do every night for an hour?"
That shocked me. This is Jerry Seinfeld, the master. A man everyone can agree is funny. And I really have no answer.
Playboy: Praise from Seinfeld must cheer you up. O'Brien: (Shaking his head) I worry that we have hit our stride and must be headed for a fall. Because every show has an arc. The Honeymooners had an arc. People forget, but The Honeymooners was mean and depressing. Art Carney wasn't fun and cuddly yet. Even successful shows take time to find their rhythm. Then they get self-indulgent and fuck it up. Look at late Happy Days episodes. They quit shooting on location, Mork keeps visiting, and it's an excuse to spin off new shows.
Playboy: Will you fuck it up, too? O'Brien: Eventually my only consolation may be that I get paid a lot. I'll say, "I know it sucks, but I'm getting $65 million a year!"
Playboy: Letterman said almost exactly that not long ago. When a joke died he admitted it sucked. "But I'm making a fortune!" he said. Do you really worry about losing your edge? O'Brien: I want a living will for my career. I want the people around me to pull the plug when I become a self-parody, an old blowhard like Alan Brady. Remember him, the television star Rob Petrie worked for on the Dick Van Dyke Show? Pompous, over-the-top, over-the-hill. I don't want to be Alan Brady.
Playboy: Letterman paid you an odd compliment. "When I see that show it withers me with exhaustion," he said. O'Brien: That's our new slogan. "Watch Late Night -- We'll wither you." But I think Dave was saying that he knows how hard it is to make a show like this every night.
Playboy: Suppose Leno left The Tonight Show. Would you like to duel Dave at 11:30? O'Brien: Our best slot would be eight A.M.. We have puppets, cartoons, lots of childishness. I think I'm doing an OK late-night show but it's a great kids' show.
Playboy: This from Mr. Hip? O'Brien: No. When someone says this or that sort of comedy is hip and alternative -- "Yes, these are cool people" -- I hate that. Because at the end of the day, funny is funny. People get fooled about me because I went to Harvard. "He's cerebral." But I love Green Acres. I love how Green Acres bends reality.
Playboy: Sounds cerebral. O'Brien: It isn't. In one episode Oliver Douglas has to go to Washington, D.C. His wife says, "Darling, take a picture of the Eiffel Tower." He says, "Lisa, the Eiffel Tower ---" Then Eb comes in. "Mr. Douglas, git me an Eiffel Tower postcard!" Now Oliver is terribly frustrated. He keeps sputtering about Washington, D.C., but nobody listens. At the end, he goes to Washington, looks up, and there's the Eiffel Tower. That is the kind of thing that made me love T.V.
Playboy: As a TV-mad college kid you cooked up scams to meet celebs. O'Brien: I wanted to meet Bill Cosby, so my friends and I offered him some fake award. We took a bowling trophy and called it the Harvard Comedy Award, something like that, and Cosby, thinking it was the Hasty Pudding Award, accepted. So I drive out to meet his private plane. "Over here, Mr. Cosby!" And I chauffeur him in my dad's second hand station wagon. Cosby sits in the backseat, picking old McDonald's wrappers off the floor, and says, "This is about the Hasty Pudding Award?"
"Oh no, nothing like that."
Playboy: You tricked Bill Cosby into letting you drive him around? O'Brien: I didn't realize that one does not pick up a famous person in a 1976 station wagon. They like to fly first-class, to be picked up in a Town Car and put up in a nice hotel. Fortunately I am not directly involved in celebrity care anymore.
Playboy: Did you bring other comics to Harvard? O'Brien: Yes. John Candy's people warned me that John was on the Pritikin diet. They gave me strict dietary instructions. John immediately ran into a bakery on Harvard Square to get pastries. He said they were Pritikin eclairs.
Playboy: You once stole a famous television costume. O'Brien: When Burt Ward visited Harvard there were fliers all over the campus: Burt Ward to Appear With Original Robin Costume (Insured by Lloyd's of London for $500,000). In fact, Burt Ward was said to keep a bunch of them in his car; he'd pass them out to impress girls. Naturally, I wanted to screw with him. A few friends and I attended his speech at the science center. We went dressed as security guards. I said, "Mr. Ward, I've been sent by the dean to safe guard the costume." As if it were the Shroud of Turin. But the guy is humorless. "Yes, very good. That costume is very valuable," he says.
That's when we hit the lights. Which works great in the movies. In the movies the lights go out and suddenly the jewel is gone. In real life, though, what you get is some dimming. You hit the lights and people can see a little less well.
Playboy: Did you grab the costume? O'Brien: We grabbed it and the chase was on. Some Burt Ward admirers -- young Republicans, I guess -- took off after us yelling, "Stop them!" But we escaped in a waiting car. We proceeded to torment Burt Ward for hours on the phone, saying, "This is the Joker, hee-hee-hee. I've got your costume."
Playboy: How did Burt react? O'Brien: Robinlike. He said, "Return it or you will feel my wrath!" Playboy: Burt Ward used to tell reporters he had an IQ of 200. O'Brien: He may be delusional.
Playboy: Were you always starstruck? O'Brien: Stars are fascinating. When I was a writer for Saturday Night Live, Robert Wagner did the show. One day he was sitting offstage, talking on the phone. He had on a camel-hair jacket, silk scarf, and of course his perfectly arranged Robert Wagner hair. "Very good, goodbye," he says, and hangs up. Suddenly his hand shoots up and touches the right side of his head, where the phone receiver may have disturbed a few hairs. At that point you know he has done this smooth move every day since 1948.
Playboy: You seem to prefer goofy celebs -- Jack Lord, William Shatner, Robert Stack. There are photos of Stack and Adam West, TV's Batman, here in your office. Do those guys know you are making fun of them? O'Brien: I'm not. I have a real affection for those men. To me, meeting Andy Griffith is just as interesting as interviewing Allen Ginsberg. I'm interested in Martin Scorsese and Gore Vidal as well as Jaleel White, TV's Urkel.
Playboy: How do Gore Vidal and Urkel compare? O'Brien: I'd say Jaleel White's prose style is not taken as seriously. But the same is true of Vidal's nerd character.
Playboy: As one of the writers on The Simpsons you helped create some memorable characters. O'Brien: What I loved about The Simpsons was that it wasn't a cartoon for kids. A cartoon might look like the friendliest thing in the world, but we were subversive. I loved it when we had Lisa write a patriotic essay in school: "Our country has the strongest, best educational system in the world after Canada, Germany, France, Great Britain..." It was this great sugarcoated cutting remark. I loved her for it.
Playboy: Tell us a Simpsons sercret. O'Brien: When Dan Castellaneta started doing Homer's voice, he was doing Walter Matthau. Like I said, it takes time to find your rhythm.
Playboy: So are you satisfied with your work? O'Brien: Intellectually, yes. The show works. Advertisers like to buy time on it. Young people really like it. But I was a moody, driven, self-critical person before I got this show, and that hasn't changed. It's just that I now have something even more frightening than a Saturday Night Live sketch or a Bart Simpson joke to worry about. I have an hour of comedy broadcast every night. My anxiety has finally met its match.
Playboy: Will you and Lynn get married? O'Brien: The core idea of being a comic, particularly a comic with a talk show, is control. Marriage is a leap of faith, a giving up of control. I'm not sure if I can make that leap.
Playboy: What about kids? O'Brien: What sort of dad would I make? Maybe this job and a normal family life are diametrically opposed. Dave, Jay, Bill Maher, Arsenio -- where are your kids? Jack Paar seemed to have a normal life with a wife and child, but you don't see much of that. And I believe that your kid should be the most important thing in your life. I may not have room, at least not now. I have Pimpbot to think about.
Playboy: Another foul mouthed Late Night character. O'Brien: Half-robot, half-Seventies street pimp. He's got a feathered hat and a metallic voice: "Gotta run my bitches. Run my ho's. I'll cut you." Right now my life revolves around Pimpbot.
Playboy: You need to settle a fashion question. You, Leno and Letterman seldom wear suits off stage. Leno likes flannel shirts, Letterman prefers jeans and sweatshirts. You wear T-shirts. Why wear a suit and tie on the air? O'Brien: There are two schools of thought on that. The Steve Martin approach says that you're putting on a show, so dress up for the people. The George Carlin approach says all that old showbiz stuff is over, this is the new way, so wear a T-shirt. I choose a jacket and tie because that's the uniform people expect talk show hosts to wear. If I came out in a mesh T-shirt and chains it might distract people from the comedy.
Playboy: How would you describe your show? O'Brien: It's a hybrid. If Carson defined the talk show and Letterman was the anti-talk show, where do you go next? That was the question we faced. What we did was make a show that has the visual trappings of the classic Tonight Show -- the desk, the band, the sidekick -- but with everything else perverted. When it works well I'd say my show is one part Carson, one part Charlie Rose and one part Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
Playboy: Do you have any advice for future talk show hosts? O'Brien: You had better love the job. Some hosts don't. You can see it in their eyes. Chevy Chase's talk show -- he did not want to be there. And if that's in your eyes you're finished, because there's another show tomorrow and next week and the week after that. You can't conquer it. You can do two or three or ten good shows in a row and still want to punch a wall when you slip up.
Playboy: Can you ever conquer your repressed childhood? O'Brien: It's always there. I still believe in moral absolutes. Murder, for instance, is wrong, unless it helps the show.
Playboy: Still, talk show hosts have perks most guys can only dream of. O'Brien: It's great to be played over to the desk. You finish your monologue, then the band kicks in as you cross the set. Fortunately, we have a great band. Even when people didn't like anything about the show, they loved the Max Weinberg Seven. The music heightens everything. Now you are more than just a guy in a suit, you're Co-nan O'Bri-en! I think every guy should have that -- if a band played you over to your rental car at the airport, you'd have a cooler day.
Playboy: Is Andy Richter your Ed McMahon? O'Brien: He's Andy. When we were getting started and the network wasn't sure of me, they kept asking, "Who's that Andy guy?" I think we've answered the question. Part of the show's rhythm is my energy played against the quiet steadiness of Andy.
Playboy: Is that rhythm genuine? O'Brien: Yes. Our mentalities mesh. I'm always dissatisfied. He's the guy saying, "Hey, relax. It's good enough." My girlfriend would be happy if I had a bit more of that in me.
Playboy: Who is the guest you can't get? O'Brien: Werner Klemperer. He refuses to revive Colonel Klink, the commandant he played on Hogan's Heroes. Which confuses me. Is he going to come up with another character at this late date -- Werner Klemperer as the aging black man or kung fu fighter? No, he's Colonel Klink.
Playboy: You once said that as a boy you wanted to be like Bob Crane in Hogan's Heroes, the cool guy who "wore a bomber jacket and wised off to Nazis." O'Brien: I asked Werner Klemperer to do some bits as Colonel Klink. He refused. Then a strange thing happened. We're shooting abit on the West Side when Werner Klemperer comes around the corner. Pulling his parka up to his chin, just like Colonel Klink, he walks past our film crew and says, "Hello, Conan. I must say the show is very good lately. Give my best to Andy. Farewell!" It was a cameo appearance in reality. He was there, he was gone. I wanted to shout, "Hey, Werner Klemperer just did a walk-on in my life."
Playboy: Are you losing the boundaries between your life and your job? O'Brien: There are no boundaries. At any minute Werner Klemperer may step in here and give me 30 days in the cooler. It's getting surreal. Just this morning I am going through the lobby downstairs when two girls see me. One girl nudges the other, "Look, it's the guy from Conan O'Brien!" I guess she couldn't quite place me, but she knew which show I was on.

Reviews🔗White 20' x 20' Decorative Party Tent with Enclosure Kithttps://preview.redd.it/ovgkohpmt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dafcf36c8d5e524ec21894e581e2ce6705c0c53f As a first-time tent purchaser for my family's annual cookout, I can confidently say that the ShelterLogic 20 x 20 ft White Party Tent & Enclosure Kit has been a game-changer. Gone are the days of renting a flimsy tent that barely protects against the elements or spending a fortune on an event venue. Setting up this sturdy party tent was surprisingly easy. The tool-free frame assembly made it quick and simple, even for someone like me who isn't naturally handy. However, I did find that having another person or two helped quite a bit when it came to lifting the vertical support poles into place. Once assembled, the ShelterLogic Party Tent truly shines. The 1.5-inch diameter galvanized steel tubes provide unmatched durability and strength, while the heavy-duty fire-rated PVC fabric not only stands up to the elements but also offers UV protection and waterproofing. Plus, the decorative scalloped valances and clear PVC windows add a touch of elegance to any event. One standout feature of this tent is the Enclosure Kit, which includes complete wall and door panels. This versatile option allows you to have full protection from weather elements or enjoy an open-air feel depending on your event needs. Additionally, two double zipper doors enable easy access for guests without compromising structural integrity. In terms of durability, I found that the ShelterLogic Party Tent held up well during a light rainstorm and strong winds. However, I would recommend using more robust ground anchors in case of extreme weather conditions. Overall, the ShelterLogic 20 x 20 ft White Party Tent & Enclosure Kit is a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to host memorable outdoor events. While it may require a bit of elbow grease to set up initially, its durability and craftsmanship make it a reliable choice that will last through many gatherings. 🔗20x20 High Peak Frame Party Tenthttps://preview.redd.it/cmbs131nt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=495a7676b7ef6d75a71a027b3a28faa0b46f2693 I recently purchased the 20' x 20' Twin Tube High Peak Frame Party Tent - White for a garden party I was hosting, and I must say, it has been a game-changer. Not only was it incredibly easy to set up, but it also provided an elegant and spacious shelter for my guests. The high-quality materials, such as the 16 ounce PVC-coated polyester and the 2.5 inch anodized aluminum frame, ensured durability against windy conditions. One feature that stood out to me was the frame tension design, which eliminates the need for center poles and side poles. This innovative design provided more space for my guests and equipment. Additionally, the cast aluminum corner fittings and the 8' tent legs ensured stability and strength during the entire event. However, one downside I noticed was the weight of the assembly. Although it didn't hamper the ease of setup, it did make it a little more challenging to transport and store. Overall, I am thrilled with my purchase and would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish party tent. 🔗MaxAP 10x20 Screen Enclosure Kit for 20x20 Tentshttps://preview.redd.it/29x3hecnt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d40b5a6a0dc008aa8a8f6ae202b1158e1fd5d835 I recently got my hands on the ShelterLogic 25777 Party Tent Enclosure Kit with Windows, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my backyard gatherings. This little beauty turns any 20x20ft canopy into an instant screen house - perfect for camping trips, picnics, or just relaxing in the backyard. The highlight for me was definitely the ease of setup. In no time, I had transformed my plain old canopy into a cozy screen house that kept the bugs and pests at bay. However, one minor con was the lack of detailed instructions which made the installation a tad confusing at first. Despite this, I must admit, the overall impact of this product on my outdoor activities has been incredibly positive. It has significantly enhanced our outdoor experiences, making them more comfortable and enjoyable. So if you're looking to upgrade your existing canopy, don't miss out on the ShelterLogic 25777 Party Tent Enclosure Kit with Windows! 🔗Easy-Up 20'x20' Standard Canopy Pole Tent - 80 Person Capacityhttps://preview.redd.it/cetqtktnt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1952bffb7e3780c273c279ff447750489e38dc0b I recently got my hands on the 20'x20' Weekender Standard Canopy Pole Tent, and it has made my outdoor event preparations easier than ever. The tent sets up quickly and easily, even for those who aren't particularly handy. Plus, it provides ample space for various events like weddings, parties, and graduations. One of the features that stood out to me was the translucent vinyl fabric that is not only 100% waterproof but also resistant to flames. The bonded panels and scalloped valances add a touch of professionalism to the overall look of the tent. Even though I didn't need them, the permanently installed sidewall ropes provide extra protection from wind and elements, should they be necessary. The sturdiness of this product is another highlight that I've appreciated. With its galvanized steel tent poles and well-constructed fabric, I'm confident that it can withstand minor weather challenges during short-term events such as patio or backyard BBQs. However, there's one issue that I've noticed with the product - durability. Even though it's advertised as suitable for various occasions, I've found the material to be somewhat delicate, making it prone to rips and tears from debris or sharp objects on the ground. To prevent this, it's recommended to use a ground tarp for laying out the tent top before installation. Overall, the 20'x20' Weekender Standard Canopy Pole Tent has been a game-changer for me in terms of organizing outdoor events. While the material's durability could be improved, the ease of setup and the spacious shelter it provides make it worth considering for anyone hosting parties, weddings, or similar gatherings. 🔗Robust 20x20 Outdoor Party Tent with Carry Bagshttps://preview.redd.it/u8xohq0ot43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4cc74c4d3699559e12fca5ef39aa427271ea2b12 I've been trying out the Peaktop Outdoor 20'x20' Party Tent for my backyard gatherings, and I must say, it's been a game-changer! With its heavy-duty construction and sturdy frame, I've seen it endure strong winds and even a little rain with ease. The upgraded anchors and durable nylon ropes have made a significant difference in securing the tent, while the galvanized steel foot bases add an extra layer of stability. You know, setting up the tent can be a bit of a workout, but the included carrying bags make it easy to transport and store. The only downside I encountered was the lack of proper instructions, but once you get the hang of it, the assembly process becomes a breeze. If you're looking for a reliable and sturdy party tent for your outdoor gatherings, the Peaktop Outdoor 20'x20' Party Tent is definitely worth considering! 🔗20x20 LED Shooting Tent with Backgrounds & Travel Baghttps://preview.redd.it/ttuadncot43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d78ad8e8dcd235ab265e59f7637b9cf643d09c4 As a photography enthusiast, I recently got my hands on the GTX Studio LED Shooting Tent 20x20. This compact yet spacious tent has been nothing short of amazing for my indoor product photography sessions. The installed light kit bundle offers a versatile range of backgrounds in white, black, gray, and orange, making it perfect for any product I want to showcase. What truly sets this tent apart is how effectively it softens the illumination of my LED lights, giving a more professional and polished look to my product photos. I also appreciate the ease with which it folds down and fits into the included travel bag, making it incredibly portable for on-the-go shoots. However, one minor inconvenience I've encountered is that the light stand is a bit wobbly and might require some extra support during use. Overall, the GTX Studio LED Shooting Tent 20x20 offers a fantastic combination of portability, performance, and versatility, making it a must-have for photographers of all levels. 🔗20 ft x 20 ft Weekender Frame Party Tenthttps://preview.redd.it/dibnqvwot43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3740127f57ec5467f2c07614520ec6f46db21ec3 The Weekender West Coast Frame Party Tent from Party Tents Direct is a game-changer for outdoor gatherings. This 20 ft x 20 ft beauty has changed the way I host parties. The ease of setting it up is unbelievable - no center poles needed, and you'll be good to go in no time. I love how spacious it is, even with a high 12' overall height and 7-foot tall legs that provide ample space for guests and equipment. Construction-wise, this tent is built like a fortress with a sturdy galvanized steel frame and fittings. The PVC top cover is a masterpiece of strength and endurance, being waterproof, UV-resistant, and fire-resistant. The alligator clips and replaceable polyester sidewall ropes make adding sidewalls a breeze (sold separately). I must warn though, the instructions could use a little work. There were some instances where certain things were not very clear, but overall, it was manageable. Its durability is impressive, withstanding a fair amount of wind and rain without showing any signs of wear. With this tent, I've hosted everything from casual backyard barbecues to formal corporate events, and it has never let me down. The only downside is that the nylon ropes tend to slip, causing slight adjustments from time to time. However, this was easily resolved by replacing them with ratchet straps, making it much more secure and less prone to slipping. Storage and transportation are a breeze with the included storage bag, full instructions, care manual, and all necessary hardware. And the best part? The price is incredibly reasonable, making it an amazing value for anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and easy-to-use frame tent. All in all, I'm beyond thrilled with the Weekender West Coast Frame Party Tent. It has single-handedly transformed my outdoor gatherings, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're in the market for a top-notch, easy-to-assemble frame tent, look no further! This gem is definitely worth checking out. 🔗20x20 Blue/White Party Tent Enclosure Kit with Windowshttps://preview.redd.it/qlqiwu0pt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ef21a6a49e9bbd425d32ccf3a9995287c196ddd I recently got my hands on the ShelterLogic 20'x20' Blue/White Party Tent Enclosure Kit with Windows for my garden party. The first thing that caught my attention was its vivid blue and white color scheme, which added a nice touch to the overall ambiance. The fabric is sturdy and I could tell it's reliable in withstanding various weather elements. I particularly appreciated the individual clear PVC windows that allow light into the tent while simultaneously maintaining privacy - perfect for a cocktail hour or reception. The double zipper doors ease the process of entry and exit, and the skirt anchors ensure that the entire structure remains stable on windy days. However, there were a few cons that didn't sit well with me. One, the height wasn't as I expected and some of my taller guests felt a bit cramped. Secondly, the assembly process was fairly cumbersome and took much longer than I anticipated. Lastly, even though I got all the parts, the lack of a proper assembly manual made the whole process quite confusing. All in all, this party tent offers a nice blend of aesthetic appeal and functionality. Despite some minor hiccups, it provides a decent shelter for outdoor events, given the right conditions and proper assembly. 🔗White 20x20 Heavy Duty Party Tenthttps://preview.redd.it/3blyrdept43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dff08aede76fc82b1344874c61b3426f47cab14c I recently set up the American Phoenix Party Tent for a family gathering, and it was truly a game-changer. The thicker steel tubes and rust-resistant coating made it incredibly sturdy, even in windy conditions. The roof material was impressive too, as it was not only waterproof but also provided excellent UV protection. The plastic windows allowed for ample natural light, and the zippered curtains offered privacy when needed. However, the assembly process was a little complex, and I found myself referring to the instructions quite frequently. Overall, this tent is a reliable option for hosting outdoor events, though it may require some patience during setup. 🔗Durable 20x20 Red Party Tent with Aluminum Framehttps://preview.redd.it/yptx7jxpt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9243d182c035dd6eb6421543416acf1e0902df60 As a frequent host of backyard gatherings, I was in search of a reliable and sturdy shelter that would provide ample protection from the elements. That's when I came across the Caravan Canopy Magnum Shelter, a 20 ft. x 20 ft. pop-up party tent. I must admit, setting it up initially was a breeze, thanks to the pull pin slider and height adjuster, which made the assembly process hassle-free. One of the standout features was its full truss design, which allowed for added stability during even the windiest of days. The aluminum frame not only made it lightweight and easy to transport but also ensured that it was less prone to rusting than steel frames. While the pop-up design made it easy to set up and break down quickly, it did take some time to get the knack of collapsing the frame properly. However, the spacious interior provided by the 20 ft. x 20 ft. square size has allowed me to comfortably accommodate my guests during various gatherings. The only downside I've encountered is that it can be a bit difficult to install the roof, as the elastic straps can sometimes become tangled. All in all, the Caravan Canopy Magnum Shelter has made hosting events in my backyard a stress-free affair, and I eagerly look forward to using it in the future. 🔗Durable 20x20 Tent for Outdoor Eventshttps://preview.redd.it/i8f9np3qt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aeebb9c8e2e85d76a60f95ff73897312e4a61bf7 As a reviewer who's had some first-hand experience with the Impact 20 FT x 20 FT Event Canopy, I can attest to its sturdiness and ease of setup. The canopy is quite large, making it perfect for family reunions or outdoor weddings. Assembling the canopy can be a breeze, though it's worth mentioning that some users found issues with the instructions. The canopy's durability is also worth mentioning, as it's made with thick materials to withstand harsh weather conditions. However, some users reported missing parts and difficulties with customer service, which can be quite a headache. All in all, the Impact Canopy is a solid option for those in need of a large event shelter, but it may require some extra effort in terms of communication and assembly. 🔗Premium 20' x 20' Green and White Frame Party Tent Top for Durable Usehttps://preview.redd.it/ibspx3gqt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d715605fdd0e8e28058de6ecc945d95e524d7b6 I recently hosted a family reunion in my backyard, and thought a sturdy tent would be perfect for providing shade on a hot summer day. I decided to give the 20'x20' West Coast Frame Tent Top a try. This green and white tent definitely stood out, making my event look more organized and put together. The highlight of this tent top is undoubtedly its durability. It's made of heavy-duty 16 oz block-out vinyl, which is both mildew resistant and flame retardant. I was really impressed with how well it held up against the windy conditions during our reunion. The aluminum reinforcement plates on the interior and exterior also added a lot of stability, ensuring that my guests stayed protected from the sun. However, there were a few downsides to this tent top. Firstly, it doesn't include the actual frame for the tent, so I had to buy one separately. Additionally, while the fabric is designed to be waterproof, it's not very breathable, which made the interior feel a bit stuffy on humid days. Overall, I'm glad I chose the 20'x20' West Coast Frame Tent Top for my event. Its durability and resistance to mildew and flame make it a reliable choice for outdoor gatherings. Just keep in mind that you'll need to purchase a frame separately and be prepared for some stuffiness on particularly humid days. 🔗Outsunny Large 20' x 20' Wedding Party Tent & Carporthttps://preview.redd.it/61lyvbtqt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfc339605e1b5f4141d4b0492df4eb8068ee188d I remember when my friend and I decided to host an outdoor birthday party for our mutual friend. It was a risky move considering that the weather forecast had rain in the mix. But I had my trusty Outsunny 20' x 20' Heavy Duty Wedding Tent and Carport with me, and boy did it save the day! The Outsunny tent is an absolute lifesaver, quite literally. It protected our friend's birthday car from getting drenched, and it turned our so-so backyard into an elegant party venue. Its weather-resistant capabilities, reinforced structure, and transparent sidewalls truly enhance the overall event experience. Plus, it was a breeze to set up and take down! However, one issue I did face was with the anchoring system. The instructions mention using ropes and stakes, but I felt that the stakes weren't sturdy enough to hold the structure firmly in place during strong winds. That's something that could be improved. Overall, the Outsunny tent has been a game-changer for me. I've hosted several outdoor events since then, and this versatile tent has always been at the top of my list. If you're in need of a heavy-duty carport with great weather resistance, look no further! 🔗Premium 20x20 High Peak Frame Party Tent - Green Solidhttps://preview.redd.it/1a1pif3rt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff4e476f9dfd163820820823e8245e381c5c29cf I was in search of a sturdy, attractive, and easy-to-assemble tent for our family gatherings and after weeks of scouring through different options, I stumbled upon Tent and Table's 20x20 High Peak Frame Party Tent. Oh boy, it was like finding a hidden gem! The highlight of this tent has undoubtedly been its 16 oz block-out vinyl material, which has not only helped in keeping out the harsh sun but also provides a waterproof and fire-retardant layer of protection. The frame tension design and the use of tension cables have made the entire structure incredibly strong and stable, capable of withstanding the rigors of our wild family parties without compromising on the elegance and aesthetic appeal. Another significant feature of this marvel is the fact that it eliminates side poles and the center pole, making it an ideal choice for gatherings that require more space. The 2.5" anodized aluminum frame and the included 8 3/4 x 22" galvanized steel stakes are worth a special mention, as they are incredibly durable and help in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of the tent. However, just like any other product, the Tent and Table's 20x20 High Peak Frame Party Tent isn't perfect. I found the instructions to be a tad bit confusing initially, which led to a bit of a learning curve during the assembly process. Moreover, the overall height of the tent is slightly on the shorter side, making it a bit difficult to move around comfortably for taller individuals. All in all, the Tent and Table's 20x20 High Peak Frame Party Tent has proved to be a valuable addition to my collection of camping and party gear. Its durability, ease of assembly, and elegant appearance make it a perfect choice for both indoor and outdoor gatherings, and I can't wait to share this fantastic find with my friends and family. 🔗20x20 Heavy Duty White Party Tent Canopy for Weddings and BBQshttps://preview.redd.it/9e8cuyirt43d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffe2b20e60a2816f498052f39b1b25722018734d I recently purchased the Quictent 20x20 Heavy Duty Party Tent for a family reunion, and I must say, it was an absolute game-changer.

One of the features that stood out most was the convenience offered by the carry bags, making transportation and storage hassle-free. I also appreciated the versatility of the tent; it's suitable for various outdoor events and can withstand different weather conditions. However, I did experience a minor issue where a few parts were missing upon delivery. I reached out to Quictent, and they responded promptly, addressing my concerns and resolving the situation. Their excellent customer service further enhanced my satisfaction with the product.

The scope has made hunting much more enjoyable for me, thanks to its amazing abilities to lock onto and track moving targets from vast distances. One of the features that really stood out is the durability of the metal case. This thing has a real tank-like feel to it, resisting impacts and harsh weather as if it was made for it. The spring-loaded covers on the lenses also proved to be quite reliable, keeping the lenses safe and scratchless until I was ready to hunt. The built-in Speed Ring is another aspect of the scope that has impressed me. Making adjustments for my crossbow's speed has been a breeze, and the illuminated reticle is a big help when it comes to sighting in low-light conditions. I particularly appreciate the contrast the red/blue illumination provides. However, there was one downside that I found a little disturbing. The scope came in a condition that made it apparent that someone had used it before. I was not happy with this fact, especially considering I had paid for a brand new product. Overall, the MSCKI-1020 Lumix Speedring 1.5 to 5 x 32 IR-E Crossbow Scope is a product that I would recommend, even with its minor fault. It certainly helped me become a better hunter, and it would do the same for anyone looking to enhance their hunting experience. 🔗Killer Instinct Lumix 4x32 Black Ir-E Crossbow Scope with LED Illuminationhttps://preview.redd.it/wqp5d5czy33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92db18cfcee4f4685d8a8f75fdf5d34284ff9021 I recently had the opportunity to try out the Killer Instinct Lumix 4x32 Ir-E Crossbow Scope. This black 1021 model was a great addition to my hunting gear, providing exceptional clarity thanks to its multicoated optics and 1-inch mono tube construction. The fast focus eyepiece is a game-changer, allowing me to quickly adjust my sight even when on the move. One feature that stood out was the illuminated cross-hair reticle, which came in both blue and red. It was perfect for low-light situations, making it easier for me to spot my target. I appreciated the adjustment click value of 0.5 inches at 100 yards, as it gave me accurate and consistent shot adjustments. However, there were a few downsides to this otherwise great scope. The exit pupil was smaller than I would have liked, making it a bit more challenging to see the cross-hair reticle at times. Additionally, the scope's weight was lighter than expected, which might not have been ideal for everyone. Overall, I'm happy with my experience using the Killer Instinct Lumix 4x32 Ir-E Crossbow Scope. It's a quality product with some small drawbacks, but its pros certainly outweigh the cons. If you're in the market for a reliable crossbow scope, this one is definitely worth considering. 🔗Vortex Recon T 15x50 Tactical Scope with 15x Magnificationhttps://preview.redd.it/t2fjcuozy33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5ed9ee49131996754ac49cf894c2f29a23308fa I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Vortex Recon T, a versatile attachment scope designed for field surveillance and range estimating. This compact tactical piece of equipment was easy to attach to my belt or strap for quick deployment, and it proved to be quite useful in a variety of situations. One of the standout features for me was the bright, sharp image it provided, even in low-light conditions. The 15x magnification and the 50mm objective lens diameter were perfect for capturing every detail I needed to see. I appreciated the easy-to-read distance measuring scale as well, which allowed for accurate approximations when targeting objects at varying distances. However, there were a couple of drawbacks I encountered while using the Recon T. The eye relief did require some adjustment on my part, as I found it a bit challenging to get just right for my comfort. Additionally, the objective lens size seemed a bit smaller than I expected, especially considering other Vortex binox models with larger lenses. Despite these minor drawbacks, I still found the Vortex Recon T to be an overall excellent product, well-suited for its intended purpose. If you're in the market for a reliable, powerful scope that's perfect for field surveillance and range estimating, this may be the one for you. 🔗Riton 5 Primal 15-45x60 Silver Rifle Scopehttps://preview.redd.it/k6678y20z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91b67ffa6533ab11ed0c30adbbaea93d568d3d52 The Riton 5 Primal 15-45x60 AGLD SPT Scp is an optics line designed for marksmen and hunters. As someone who's been there, I can attest to its durability and reliability. The scope's 19.1-inch length fits comfortably in hand and the 60-millimeter objective lens captures a clear and wide image, even in low light conditions. However, this wasn't without its challenges. I had to learn the intricacies of adjusting the magnification and parallax, which can be a bit tricky for beginners. Despite this, the Riton 5 Primal has become a trusted companion on my adventures, and I'd highly recommend it to fellow marksmen and hunters seeking a reliable and long-lasting scope. 🔗Silver Gray Rifle Scope with 52mm Aperturehttps://preview.redd.it/yk70l4e0z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa644599d59338b915517b3ce9d3cb78f3bfd609 I recently had the chance to use the Vixen Field Scope Aroma 52-A Silver Gray, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer for those who love observing the beauty of nature. The sleek Silver Gray color was a welcomed addition to my camping setup, and the 2.0-inch objective lens definitely came in handy when spotting distant wildlife. It weighed just enough for me to take it on hikes but not so much that it became a burden. The 25x eyepiece provided an unparalleled level of detail, making it perfect for birdwatching or stargazing. However, one downside was that it didn't come with a protective case, so I had to purchase one separately to ensure its longevity. Overall, the Vixen Field Scope Aroma 52-A Silver Gray is an excellent investment for anyone seeking an enhanced outdoor viewing experience. 🔗Advanced 15-45x60 FDE T Series Scope with ED Prime Glass and Mil-Hash Reticlehttps://preview.redd.it/epvsfir0z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b17277b175d5412d6062923808ada1e71482d4d2 I've been using this Bushnell T spotting scope in my outdoor activities, and it's been quite the experience. The Mil-Hash reticle works seamlessly with the Mil-Base riflescope reticle, making zeroing a breeze. The scope has a heavy-duty, militaristic feel with a rubberized coating. The Picatinny rail mounts are a nice touch, and they're also compatible with a red dot sight for added accuracy. The optical clarity is what one can expect at this price point, but it does the job well enough. The lens caps make it a breeze to protect the glass from dust, debris, and other environmental conditions. The only issue I had with the front lens cap is the lack of a lanyard attachment, making it easily misplaced. The case, on the other hand, left me concerned about Bushnell's overall quality. The Velcro stitching on the lens flap failed on the first day, and the scope case seems too small for the scope. The magnification setting ring could use some improvement as well, but overall, it's an acceptable addition. Despite these minor drawbacks, the scope has proven to be durable and holds up well under rough outdoor conditions. Its compact design and easy-to-handle eyepiece make it a top choice for avid spotters. With a solid construction, good image quality, and an attractive price point, this Bushnell T series spotting scope is worth considering for your next outdoor adventure. 🔗Athlon Optics Talos 20-60x80 Spotting Scope - High-Performance, Fully Multi-Coated Waterproof Sc scopehttps://preview.redd.it/lydd9641z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4072aa8e9660635c910c67bf5b4b23aeb94c31fa I recently got a chance to use the Athlon Optics Talos 20-60x80 Spotting Scope, and I must say I was quite impressed with its performance. To begin with, the scope is surprisingly lightweight, which makes it perfect for outdoor use. Its waterproof feature is an added bonus, allowing me to use it in harsh weather conditions without any worries. One of the standout features of this spotting scope is its fully multi-coated lenses, which provide incredible light transmission, resulting in bright and clear images. This feature is particularly useful for birdwatching or spotting objects in the distance. The K9 glass prisms with the silver coating help reflect a lot of light to your eyes, creating a bright image. Combined with the multi-coated layering, you get optimal brightness, making it easier to spot your target. The Talos scope is perfect for my needs, whether I'm shooting at the range or observing nature. Its fog-proof construction ensures that my images will always be crisp and clear, no matter the conditions. The included tripod is a great addition, providing a stable platform for comfortable and easy viewing. However, the rotating ring could have been more comfortable and easier to adjust. But overall, the Athlon Optics Talos 20-60x80 Spotting Scope is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality spotting scope at an affordable price. 🔗Diamondback HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope - Affordable, Fully Multi-Coated Magnification for Huntinghttps://preview.redd.it/zdpepsi1z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=129f2375721b9da0e7fad12cb4c9937e831bafec There's something about using the "Diamondback HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope" that makes you feel like you're really a part of the action. On my last hunting trip, I couldn't have been more thankful for its portability - it only weighs a pound, so I could pack it with ease. The rubberized outer shell kept everything safe during hikes, and the Armortek lens coating kept the lens clear of dirt and oil. In the low-light setting, the scope was nothing short of magical. I can't tell you how many times I was able to spot a deer or rabbit way off in the distance, even with the sun barely rising. However, in my experience, the scope seemed to struggle a bit with higher magnifications - sometimes the focus was a bit off, and the object appeared a bit soft. Still, the "Diamondback HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope" has become my go-to for all hunting trips and outdoor adventures. Its sleek design and reliable performance make it worth the investment for any serious spotting enthusiast. 🔗High-Range Hunting Spotting Scope with Rubber Coatinghttps://preview.redd.it/nqu8adu1z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18386a5f3d92014548f92d5eb8bed8be1819c741 In the vast wilderness of western ranges, discerning the precise movements of wildlife demands crystal clear optics. The redesigned Diamondback HD spotting scope meets those demands with unrivaled clarity even in low light conditions, making it the go-to for long-distance hunters. Designed for those who traverse the rugged terrain of the west, this spotting scope combines advanced technology with durability. The 45° angled viewing allows for effortless observation of the surrounding landscape, while the 16-48x zoom eyepiece provides flexibility for different situations. The large 65mm objective lens captures vast amounts of light for excellent vision in dim conditions. In our hands-on experience, the scope's high-density, extra low-dispersion glass produced stunning views, with exceptional sharpness and detail. The anti-reflection and ArmorTek lens coatings further enhance the image quality, while the argon-filled body ensures water and fogproof performance. A minor hiccup came with the rotating tripod collar and 1/4"-20 mount, as it required some finesse to set up properly. However, the neoprene cover tethered objective lens and ocular lens cap, along with the included lens cloth, added a touch of convenience. Overall, the Diamondback HD spotting scope proves itself to be a reliable and user-friendly option, perfect for those seeking crystal clear vision in the wide open spaces. Its reasonable price point and fantastic features make it a standout performer in the long-range optics market. 🔗Vortex Diamondback HD Spotting Scope - Rugged and Powerful Long-Range Opticshttps://preview.redd.it/6vr3qtd2z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d96b9cd74ae220a725d2a7e3d5be03437cdc8d9d Recently, I took a trip to the mountains for some outdoor exploration. I packed my Vortex Diamondback HD 20-60x 85mm Straight Spotting Scope, a powerful and reliable piece of equipment that I've come to rely on for my adventures. This scope boasts a powerful 20-60x zoom eyepiece, optimized for long-range applications and basic astronomy. The traditional Porro prism light path produces clear and bright views without internal light interference, as I discovered during my wildlife spotting sessions in the wilderness. One of the most impressive features I encountered during my trip was the scope's anti-reflection fully multicoated optics, which greatly improved my viewing experience by increasing light transmission. This allowed for accurate color fidelity and enhanced contrast and clarity, even in low light conditions, something that I truly appreciated when glassing out my surroundings. Furthermore, the ArmorTek exterior lens coatings helped protect the lens from scratches and abrasions, which greatly added to the longevity of the scope. The 108-foot field of view at 1000 yards at 20x and the 60-foot field of view at 60x were also impressive, allowing me to spot distant objects with ease. However, there was one downside I encountered during my trip. The scope's exterior design, while sleek and streamlined, made it snag more easily on tree branches and foliage while hiking. I had to be extra careful when traversing through the wilderness to avoid any damage to the scope. Overall, despite its minor drawbacks, the Vortex Diamondback HD 20-60x 85mm Straight Spotting Scope proved to be an invaluable tool on my mountain journey. Its advanced features and excellent performance made it an essential companion during my outdoor adventures, and I can't wait to see what else it has in store for my future trips. 🔗Affordable Vortex Diamondback 20-60x80 Angled Spotting Scope with Fully Multi-Coated Opticshttps://preview.redd.it/zrr2uvu2z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e9a4ddb076c08495957919d2e7e1f12babf3e6b I recently got my hands on the Vortex Diamondback 20-60x80 spotting scope, and I must say, it has been a game-changer for my outdoor hobbies. The 20-60x zoom eyepiece is a fantastic feature that provides incredible clarity and detail, especially in low light conditions. One of the things that stood out to me was the single wide focus knob, which is incredibly smooth and easy to adjust. It truly feels like a premium scope, yet it doesn't break the bank. The Diamondback 20-60x80's exterior lenses are protected by the scratch-resistant ArmorTek coating. This has been invaluable when I've taken the scope on various outings where it might be exposed to dirt or other elements. The fact that the scopes are waterproof and nitrogen-purged is a great bonus as well. One of the best features of this spotting scope is the fully rotatable mounting bracket. It's incredibly convenient, allowing me to get the perfect position regardless of where I'm set up. The spotting scope is more versatile than I had imagined, and it has proven to be quite a valuable addition to my outdoor gear. While the product does have a few drawbacks, such as slightly coarser focus control at higher magnifications, overall I am beyond thrilled with my purchase. The Vortex Diamondback 20-60x80 spotting scope has provided me with an exceptional experience, and I couldn't recommend it enough for anyone looking for a great spotting scope at a budget-friendly price. 🔗Waterproof 20-60x80 Spotting Scope with Rangefinder and Full Multi-Treatment Lens Coatinghttps://preview.redd.it/manm8ea3z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e19791ca1308dbabbc09b263cd0483f00aa44c18 The Bushnell FORGE spotting scope with rangefinder has been a game-changer for my outdoor adventures. I was initially skeptical about its 20-60x magnification and 80mm objective lens, but I was thrilled to discover how it performed in various lighting conditions. The spotting scope has a 45-degree eyepiece that allows me to comfortably view distant targets or wildlife without straining. The clarity was outstanding, and I could see even the slightest details that my old gear couldn't capture. In low light situations, the scope truly shined with its excellent light transmission. I also appreciated the spotting scope's waterproof construction (IPX7) and the secure O-ring sealing. This feature has been crucial during my outdoor excursions, ensuring that the optics remain dry regardless of the weather conditions. The premium EVA foam case, telescope cover, and lens cleaning cloth are thoughtful additions that protect the scope when not in use and keep it clean for the next adventure. Overall, I highly recommend the Bushnell FORGE spotting scope; it has exceeded my expectations and made a significant difference in my wildlife viewing experience. 🔗Nikon Monarch Spotting Scope: High-Quality Bird Watching Experience - Enhanced Durability and Fog-Resistant Designhttps://preview.redd.it/tfisnil3z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb6d684263a929213bc87c3ed545080ee01951f2 Nikon's Monarch Spotting Scope has been a game-changer in my birdwatching excursions. The 82mm objective lens and 20-60x zoom eyepiece offer a stunning contrast-rich and color-accurate image, even in low-light conditions. I love how easy it is to fine-tune focus for distant subjects and coarse adjust for nearby ones. The weather-resistant body and waterproof eyepieces make it perfect for outdoor adventures, while the type 1 bayonet mount with locking system ensures secure eyepiece attachment and detachment. However, I do wish it came with some built-in sunshade or a protective cover that fits more snugly. Overall, the Nikon Monarch Spotting Scope has been an enjoyable and reliable companion on my birdwatching adventures. 🔗Vortex Viper HD Spotting Scope: High-Performance Optics for 6.5 Creedmoor Riflehttps://preview.redd.it/9iu1j804z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=987f4cde1e98e674eb59e681ab905f6dfafff287 Every morning, during my daily bird-watching routine, I would attach my trusty Vortex Viper HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope to my trusty tripod. The scope's adjustable eyecups made switching from my wife's eyeglasses to mine a breeze. As I scanned the skies above me, the Porro prism system ensured crystal clear views of the feathered creatures. The scope's ArmorTek coating proved its mettle when I inadvertently dropped it in the mud during a particularly vigorous pursuit. Despite the rugged abuse, it still functioned like a charm, and the fogproof feature even came in handy during our family camping trip. However, I did experience a bit of trepidation at times when bringing the scope up to the maximum magnification of 60x. The scope did feel a little shaky, which could be attributed to the smaller lens diameter of 85mm. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Vortex Viper HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope has been an invaluable addition to my bird-watching toolkit. It has certainly lived up to its high-quality promise, and I've even started sharing my birdwatching tips and stories with my newfound birdwatching buddies. 🔗Vortex Razor HD Straight Spotting Scope with Advanced Optics and Ultra-Sleek Designhttps://preview.redd.it/1gs6oah4z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33be82718442ac4ec526b1d1a6f7e8bffc214063 Imagine a crisp, clear morning at your favorite shooting range. You unbox your brand new Vortex Razor HD 22-48x65 Straight Spotting Scope. It feels sleek and sturdy, ready for action. You hold it up to the sky, and your eyes quickly adjust to the viewfinder. The HD lens elements showcase a remarkable, edge-to-edge image with remarkable clarity and color accuracy.

The spotting scope's lightweight design, coupled with its waterproof and fog-resistant features, adds convenience and durability to your experience.

Buyer's GuideWhen it comes to choosing the right 17 HMR scope, there are several important factors to consider. This buyer's guide will help you understand the key aspects of 17 HMR scopes and provide advice to make the best purchase for your needs.MagnificationThe magnification of a 17 HMR scope is one of the most important considerations. The scope should have the appropriate magnification range to help you accurately shoot at your target. For most hunters, a range between 2.5x and 10x is suitable. https://preview.redd.it/269y3oh6z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=646779a33875a80c08c5f9cd5b2f44b0b4ce352a Field of ViewField of view (FOV) is another crucial factor to consider. The FOV measures the width of your field of vision when looking through the scope. A larger FOV can make target acquisition easier, but it typically comes at the expense of magnification. Finding a balance between FOV and magnification that best suits your needs is key.Objective Lens SizeThe objective lens size is the diameter of the front lens of the scope. A larger objective lens size will allow more light into the scope, which can be beneficial in low-light conditions. However, it may also make the scope heavier and less portable.Reticle OptionsReticles are the crosshairs or other markings inside the scope's lens. There are various types of reticles, including mil-dot, crosshair, and others. Consider the type of hunting you plan to do and choose a reticle that best aligns with your preferred shooting style and distance. https://preview.redd.it/j4amrzs6z33d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e5cd448a5a06925ec630a944f88ca125e229ba2 DurabilityDurability is an essential factor, especially if you plan to use your 17 HMR scope in rugged hunting conditions. Look for scopes made of high-quality materials, with waterproof and fogproof features, and sturdy construction.Ease of UseYour 17 HMR scope should be easy to adjust for different distances and shooting scenarios. Choose a scope with clearly marked adjustment knobs and a parallax adjustment feature to ensure accurate shots.Price and Value17 HMR scopes come in a wide range of prices.

Consider purchasing from reputable brands with strong warranties and customer support.Finding the right 17 HMR scope depends on your specific needs and preferences.

2024.05.28 06:57 Rasbobbo 10 of my most memorable overseas travel experiences from the past 34 years
 | This is in no particular order. It's interesting to me that the things I remember most are not the Colosseum in Rome, or the Louvre, or Westminster Abbey or the Sydney Opera House — it was the experiences and people that were unique to where I was visiting. submitted by Rasbobbo to travel [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/xsfeuemvm33d1.jpg?width=3816&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30894b55350c418b81b76f2207795e239baf6455 In 1991 (oh to be 25 again), on my second ever overseas trip, I traveled around France on the cheap, going to Normandy, the chateaus of the Loire valley, Brittany and Provence. In St. Malo, near Normandy, I stayed at a hostel. I'd go see sights in the daytime — like the abbey at Le Mont St. Michel and D-Day beaches — and then come back to the hostel to cook dinner in the kitchen with other shoestring travelers. Right next to the kitchen was a volleyball court. Every night we played volleyball until 10 p.m., pounding $2 bottles of wine the whole time. Met some amazing people and had a blast. The late-night place to be in Paris Around about 2000, I did a combo Spain/Paris trip. In Paris I was joined by a co-worker. We'd go our separate ways during the day, then meet back for dinner and going out. The problem, though, was that bars seemed to close shockingly early. We got to one at 11:00, and the barkeep was locking the door. But he was American, and he said: "Follow me." He took us to a place near the Sorbonne that looked like a closed restaurant, but that had stairs to the basement. It was a bar with a bustling, young, international crowd. We ended up staying there until 4:30 a.m. It's called the Violon Dingue — Crazy Violin, and as far as I know is still there. My friend drew portraits of girls at the bar to give to them. A dark cloud over Parliament. In 2019 I went to London for the first time. On one of my days there, a longtime friend who lives in Dublin flew over just to spend the day with me. It was insane, and a blast. We saw art exhibits of 1,000-year-old British archaeological finds, and some of the earliest books in existence, took pictures of Big Ben and Parliament, took an organized walking/drinking tour of pubs, and otherwise just explored back streets and alleyways near Westminster Abby. Then he caught a train back to the airport to fly home. Publicans at the Colton Arms. On that same trip in London, I happened upon a pub in the neighborhood I was staying in out in the city's west side, near Hammersmith. What I expected to be a pint and some food and then maybe a walk back to kill time in my room, turned into food, multiple pints and a whole evening's worth of entertainment as, one by one, the pub's regulars came in for their pints. By 7:30 p.m. people were packed in. And I had been introduced to half of them. This is where I discovered my favorite beer of all time, Timothy Taylor's Landlord pale. I bought rounds. And rounds were purchased in my honor. They were fascinated that I worked on politics news. They didn't hate Trump, really, but kept asking me: How the fuck did such an idiot get elected? (It's called the Colton Arms. Highly recommended.) Sunset on Ipanema Beach. In 2013 I visited several cities in Brazil, and when I was in Rio de Janeiro, they were having a heat wave. Thank goodness the city has world famous beaches! I went to a very crowded Ipanema Beach and I think half the city was there. And a ton of people, including me, were out in the water jumping waves and cooling off. They were the kind of waves that surprise you with how much power they have. And every once in a while you'd see a bigger one coming and say "Oh shit!" You'd see the look of excited panic on everybody's faces. Then the wave would pass, everybody would survive, and they'd have the biggest smiles on their faces. Rio was a scary city at times — the poverty there creates some desperate people. But in the water, everybody was smiling after the big waves — white, Black, mixed, old, young, rich, poor. The waves became the leveler. figuratively and literally. This was good rum, but I liked Santiago de Cuba rums even more. In early 2017, a friend and I visited Cuba during a very brief window when the U.S. allowed independent travelers to go there. While we were in Havana, some massive tides were flooding streets close to the seawall. I can't remember whose idea it was, but a bottle of fantastic — and cheap — Cuban rum was purchased and a couple of glasses stolen from the AirBnB so that we could join the locals out on one of the main avenues to watch the encroaching flood. I think I would remember more from that night if not for the rum. Bamberg was a beer lover's dream. In the fall of 2015 I visited Eastern Europe from Germany and Poland down to Croatia. I stayed a couple of days in a town called Bamberg in Bavaria. Monks have been making beer in that town for centuries. The proprietor of my AirBnB said: "Hey, if you want to join us tonight, a couple of the other guests and I will be sampling some beers and snacks of the region. Just pitch in a few Euros at the end of the night if you want." I learned so much that night about German food and beer. It was a blast. After surviving the ferry from Italy, and a train ride to Athens, the Acropolis shined. My very first trip overseas was a three-week trip in January/February of 1990 that started in Amsterdam and ended in Athens, Greece. In addition to those cities, I went to Paris, Venice, Florence, Rome and the Greek island of Santorini. To get from Rome to Greece, I took an overnight ferry out of the Italian port city of Brindisi. I was in deck class, lol, on the ground. But so were a bunch of other travelers my age, also experiencing Europe for the first time. I ended up hanging with a few who just so happened to be sharing a bottle of the Greek liquor called Ouzo. Let's just say that I had enough that I hope I never drink Ouzo again in my life. The deck might have been hard to sleep on, but, I was in no condition to notice. Our outback tour guide gets the fire going. In early 2015 I went to Australia for my one and only visit. Besides visiting the big cities of Melbourne and Sydney, I flew to the "Red Center" town of Alice Springs, where I took a three-day long van tour of the outback, including visiting Uluru (previously known as Ayers Rock). On the first night, we camped outdoors, sleeping in what the Aussies called "swags," basically insulated sleeping bags made for sleeping right on the ground. The trick though, was preparing the area around where you would be sleeping. You see (and this just might be something they use to scare the tourists), if you dig a little trench around your bag, it will keep spiders and snakes from crawling in with you because they won't go up and down trenches. Well, true or not, I wasn't gonna NOT do it and just give them a paved highway to my nose! So I dug my trench. I didn't get bit. But a German girl was the hero of our group because she woke up and saw a dingo in our camp and proceeded to throw a rock at it, and hit it, to scare it aware. Huzzah! Happy scooter riders in Ho Chi Minh City. In early 2017 I went to Vietnam for the first time, visiting Hanoi first and then Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). I took one of the most highly regarded tours in all of Southeast Asia, a Back of the Bike scooter street food tour, in Saigon. It was a fun crowd on the tour, and the college-age Vietnamese girls driving the scooters were a hoot. But the thing that really made this night memorable was sports related. In the middle of our tour, as we going from one stop to the next, the streets filled with people celebrating something, yelling, singing and waving the Vietnamese flag. It turns out the national soccer team had just had one of its first wins in international competition. They had been waiting to celebrate for a long time. The honking was constant. And there was a sea of waving red flags. |
