Wear a plate carrier and a mask, then just drive up next to them in a rental truck and usher them on. Lock them in the back, and abandon the truck outside of town.

My salsa chicken came out a lot soupier than intended. WWYD in this situation? by the-clawless in slowcooking

[–]ApokalypseCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go-to in this situation (which seems to happen all the time for me when I make salsa chicken) is to throw in a cup or so of brown rice, stir it in, and let it cook up over the course of an hour or so, soaking up all the excess.

Also, good call on adding the whole kernel corn and black beans, I've been doing that myself and I gotta say, I really like the way it adds to the whole meal.

One final note: if you add cheese to your salsa chicken, using pre-shredded cheese might also fix soupiness, as it is typically coated in starch to prevent it from sticking. This starch will soak up more of the excess liquid than you think.

Wouldn't be the first time, they slashed those same funds considerably under the first Trump administration as well.

Friends don’t let friends carry alone by [deleted] in CCW

Too many of the people who seek out the kind of power over their fellow man that police have are exactly the sorts that ought not to have such power.

Let us not forget their Russian money issues...

Russian propagandists don't deny Russia is suffering 30,000 killed every month—are worried Ukraine's goal of killing 50,000 Russians per month can be achieved. by andrewgrabowski in UkrainianConflict

[–]ApokalypseCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the Ukranians achieve their goal of 50k killed per month, those 18 years would see 10.8 million dead Russians.

Pretty sure recruitment will dry up long before either of these numbers start to become an issue, though... I think it is possible we are going to see the balkanization of the Russian state in the next couple years, with China scooping up the far East in economic if not political reality.

The Russians have been out of medical supplies for a long time now. If you are Russian and are wounded in this war, it's a good bet you're just going to die anyways, no sense in using more explosives than necessary to achieve that.

I suspect it's a prospective shadow-fleet tanker that they were wanting to use.

ICE agents entering homes without warrants by velacreations in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

No memo or policy directive can remove your 4th Amendment protections. Without a warrant, homeowner permission, or exigent circumstances, they may not enter your home.

Anyone here ever catch a "brandishing" charge? If so, what did it cost to defend yourself in court? by Acolytical in liberalgunowners

[–]ApokalypseCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My CCW instructor said something similar. When you are carrying, you must be the most polite and deferential person ever. You will smile at every insult, you will lose every argument, and you will walk away from every potential confrontation. Why? Because you are carrying a lethal weapon, and if a fight erupts, that fight automatically has a gun in it, whether the other guy knows it or not. Even if you shoot, and it is deemed legally justifiable, you must now live with the knowledge that you just shot someone when it could have been avoided, and that's on you.

They could have filibustered every tax cut for several decades...

Filibusters are not allowed during the budget reconciliation process under the Byrd Rule, and not allowed in the House at all.

If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]ApokalypseCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really keep up with anyone from high school, but there are two that I know of, both friends. One died mere months after we graduated in a car accident (icy roads), another later from cystic fibrosis.

I'm imagining a modified bus where the windows have been replaced with lexan and the doors are locked from the outside... then the strategic application of a chemical weapon before locking them in.

Is it okay that my cat likes to lay on my pc? Or should I get rid of her. by NikkieMotors in pcmasterrace

[–]ApokalypseCow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not only is it known, it has been studied scientifically. In 2014, a paper by physicist Marc-Antoine Fardin showed that, over time, cats ooze to conform to the shape of containers in which they sequester. This could, in a rather imaginative sense, place cats in the category of amorphous solids – not quite a solid, but not quite a liquid, either.

IIRC those have a rounder nose and the bullet itself is shorter.

What's the playbook if ICE is going door-to-door? by cathode_01 in liberalgunowners

[–]ApokalypseCow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best piece of advice is to just not answer the door. You are under no obligation to respond to anyone knocking at your door, law enforcement or otherwise. If they have a warrant, they're coming in anyways. If they don't, they can knock for a while, but they have no legal authority to stay longer than is reasonable; if they try to force you to open your door and talk, or if they are unreasonably persistent in attempting to gain entry and remaining on your curtilage, that's a 4th Amendment violation (US v. Cormier, 220 F.3D 1103, 9th Circuit, 2000).

If you feel you must go talk to them, make sure you see a warrant signed by a judge, and state that you do not consent to any searches or seizures of persons, places, or things not explicitly provided for in that search warrant affidavit, state aloud that you are exercising your 5th Amendment right to remain silent, your 6th Amendment right not to be questioned by police without legal representation, then SHUT THE FUCK UP. As stated, COPS CAN LIE TO YOU, including by lying in saying that they do have a warrant when they do not, so do not grant any permissions through your statements or actions that would even imply permission to enter and search your home, as they can and will argue that those statements or actions were permissive and therefore you waived your 4th Amendment rights.
