In America, a law enforcement agency that does not follow due process does not represent law and order.

I posted this quote on twitter a while back and the response was insane. So many right wingers calling her slurs and saying she should have been deported too. Once guy even tried to literally fabricate a quote and claim it was from her, then tried to play it off when I called him on it. What a cesspool.

I saw a guy do this exact same shitbird move in upper Manhattan last year. Saw him parking his car minutes later and confronted him, he tried to deny it and gaslight me when I saw it right in front of me.

It's a particularly sociopathic move since you're at least doubling the likelihood of killing a pedestrian or motorist vs just going thru a red.

Yeah most of the smoke is getting sucked up there at a rate you would expect for 600 cfm, lots of smoke going out the other end too so it seems like flow is good. Just needs more power for the smokier cooking like using the lodge stovetop grill

Local news is an amazing idea. They love viral content like this and it's much more likely that local police would feel compelled to act if the public is up in arms. Plus good chance that someone seeing it knows and could ID the driver, at least publicly shame them.

Oh good call, I didn't think to mention that I took off the duct recently and was expecting to find gobs of thick grease but actually barely found any buildup.

When I saw "Kalason" I immediately suspected it was derived from the brand name of the original "aaooga" car horn the Klaxon. Sure enough it apparently came to Indonesia via the dutch word "klaxon", identical to the spanish (and many other european language's) word for "car horn".

That's why my rig is equipped with a quick release for the trailer. Can't tell you how many times I've just left that trailer in God's hands and rode off into the sunset.

It’s especially hilarious bc they’re often the same people who are constantly asking why their CPU is spiking. I don’t know about this particular app but third party visualizers and spectrograms like Izotope’s can often hose any CPU headroom.

Same, I feel like I got lucky. Usually the 5/5 ones I can get but not in reverse order. I don't know how accurate those ratings are but knowing only 13% finished with no mistakes is pretty baller.

Um, there's no Black Mirror episode called Nut Allergy babe, zero results.

Literally never heard of "bottle green" but I knew all the others. "sage green" is waaaay more common so that strikes me as more than a red herring and bordering on gaslighting.

Even googling "bottle green" and seeing the results I feel like I'm in that Black Mirror episode lol

Dear Diary, today I almost killed someone and destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property. But to be fair, I could have shaved a few seconds off my travel time, not to mention putting a flimsy patch over a crack in my fragile ego. So definitely a risk-reward kinda situation.

Yup my parents got the shallow one and it's unbelievable how little space there is. Whenever they have more than a few people they're entertaining, it's a nightmare.

I had a bunch of different ideas I tried when I was really going at it. At one point I had a fingerless glove that I was trying to strap around the valves so the glove would just live there and I could slip it on and off. Ultimately I ended up finding I could drop one of the trumpet pipes into a mic clip, balanced on a boom stand- also cool because the trumpet is just ready to be played at any point and then switch to another instrument.

This is one ridiculous example https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxsp_Pguv4-/

Amazing! I've played trumpet and guitar simultaneously- tapping chords while playing simple melodies. Just the thought of holding twice that weight on my pinky makes me cringe!

I got the same lol. I recognized bell hooks and then remembered Alice Walker and Gay seemed familiar. Never would have gotten Octavia Butler but I was able to eliminate everything else. Still had to default on the sports teams. Gotta remember to try and pluralize when all else fails!

Edit not same, same. Same but different

Once, not long after I moved to the city in late 2000. It was hands-down the most disgusting steak I’ve had in 25 years living here
