My wife got a tattoo of a Luna moth on her wrist. She got it in on a whim in Austin while we were there for a couple of days before heading up to Dallas for the eclipse last year, so it has a bit of a special meaning.
The tattoo itself came out great, but when my kids saw it upside down, they were convinced it was Mr. Crabs, and I think they might be right.
Bombing Japan is a big dark spot on our history. As was our treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII. Basically everyone agrees on that.
We retconned history to say dropping the big bombs would have averted many more casualties, and maybe that’s true, but really a.) who knows and b.) big difference between civilian casualties and military casualties.
Good beer comes in 6-packs…but great beer comes in 4-packs.
May be on to something there. Only “Jake Springer” I see on LinkedIn posted from Port Aransas, TX yesterday.
There’s still a Saturn?
Obviously there’s still a brake pedal. I don’t think they are actually going to get rid of it any time soon.
In single-pedal mode you can still slam on your brakes.
It’s just…optional.
I don’t know how the hell it works either.
I imagine since it’s an electric vehicle, the motors either have electricity or they don’t…so when they don’t, if there’s no clutch mechanism disengaging the wheel, it would probably “engine-brake” naturally. Engine-braking, as I understand it, is basically how regenerative braking works anyway.
Combine that with a CVT and it can make a pretty smooth deceleration.
Combine that with distance sensors in the front and it’ll keep you from accidentally slamming into something.
Hey man I love a manual transmission as much as the next hipster…but I rented a Mustang EV last year and got to experience single-pedal mode and it’s fucking glorious.
I imagine the part in the article where OPP destroyed the vps and cancelled the domain because he realized he paid for the vps with his credit card?
Me finding Power Wash Simulator on GamePass a week after starting Adderall
Meanwhile my wife yelling at me to power wash the deck and my only retort is “uhh water ban”.
Kind of fitting that an abuse victim with Stockholm’s Syndrome is the de facto mascot of Republican women.
This is why I love my hens.
Like, I had no idea. I didn’t even want chickens. One day my wife comes home with a 6-pack.
Now tho? I could spend a whole day sitting outside, stoned, just watching them live their life. It’s like a soap opera with miniature dinosaurs.
I don’t think you can see it in the video, but it is literally the first sentence of the article…
A man who was believed to be part of a peacekeeping team for the “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City shot at a person who was brandishing a rifle at demonstrators.
“Brandish” is a specific word. It implies aggression.
brandish 1 of 2 verb bran·dish ˈbran-dish brandished; brandishing; brandishes transitive verb 1: to shake or wave (something, such as a weapon) “menacingly brandished a knife at them”; 2: to exhibit in an ostentatious or aggressive manner “brandishing her intellect”
If I were to brandish a rifle at you, you would have every right to shoot me first and ask questions later. Especially given the circumstance and current events.
But I already have an Obama Phone.
The cops shouldn’t have been protecting the protestors. The cops should have been protecting everybody.
But we know to expect failures of the police. And we know we have a “god-given” right to defend ourselves.
And we know that police have no actual requirement to protect the public from dangerous situations anyway. That is settled case law.
And we know that calling the police when somebody is already marching towards you with an AR-15 pointed at your crowd is a waste of precious time.
The cops did nothing wrong. They also did nothing, but that’s besides the point.
You don’t raise a gun and point it at people unless you intend to shoot it at them.
Should the peacekeeper have waited till he started spraying bullets until he fired on an obvious threat?
Maybe he should’ve waited until a few people got shot first. Or waited until there was at least a confirmed kill?
Should he have called 911 and said “officer there is a man here drawing an AR-15 on the crowd please hurry before he shoots somebody” and wait 15 minutes for the cop to arrive?
Like…I don’t know what you expect here. If there’s one time when it’s acceptable to shoot first, it’s when somebody already has a gun pointing at you.
This whole thing is a shining example of “good guy with a gun”. It’s the second-best possible outcome, only being better if Ah Soo weren’t struck in the crossfire. .
Sounds like the cops are in the right here…
Gamboa was the idiot who pulled his rifle on a crowd of peaceful protestors.
The protestors, being smart, had peacekeepers who were defensively carrying.
One of the peacekeepers shot at Gamboa, and ended up hitting Ah Loo, who was (apparently) an innocent bystander.
Gamboa broke the cardinal rule of carrying a gun: don’t point it at anything that you aren’t planning to kill. Defensive peacekeeper took the appropriate action in disarming a very valid threat (especially considering the actions that MAGAts had been taking on protestors lately). Cops arrested Gamboa.
I’ve got sympathy for Ah Loo (and the peacekeeper that shot him)…but that death is on Gamboa. That’s felony homicide right there. FAFO, Gamboa.
Yeah but you don’t understand the mentality of a Rhode Islander.
Rhode Islanders only take the Mass Pike if they have to. Very little reason to go to Western MA, 495 goes to the Cape, and 93/95 to NH.
They only go to Connecticut for Foxwoods/Mohegan or Mystic. No tolls on that route.
Other than that, the only way they are leaving the state is on a Southwest flight to MCO or FLL.
Yeah that’s the other thing. It’s in Bristol!
That’s practically Massachusetts! And not even like, Boston…it’s like…Swansea. Suburban, nearly rural.
To get from Providence, you practically have to go into Massachusetts first.
To get from Warwick (where PVD airport is) or points south, you have to take the Pell bridge, which is a toll road, in addition to a bridge. Iirc, the only toll road in RI for 2-axle vehicles…so not a lot of people even really have EZPass. And you gotta cross the Jamestown Bridge first.
These are all things most Rhode Islanders loathe doing.
And yet despite that, it gets 80% of what Trump claimed his draw was. Pathetic.
I’m pretty sure my steam is installed via flatpak.
Is this only new installs?
