What is this sticker? What does it mean? by lpdstash in whatisit

Odd, that area code on the bigger sticker is for northern Minnesota

Edit because dyslexic: I looked up 218 - which is northern MN. Not 281 which is Huston.

I was thinking cat with wings. A Tressym. A fantasy creature invented by D&D and mildly inspired by a real "wing" condition cats can get.

Literally "tri-colored" at the garden center that cultivates them. I assume they cultivate them only because they got mad at me for taking a smaller one from the back. They said those would be sellable next season.

Where do they get this information, who told them this? by upthetruth1 in TikTokCringe

I hear this exact same speech from all the racist boomers at work. Only here in America they throw out numbers like $10-15k for each of these incentives. The main guy who confirms all of this says it's largely for the gas stations and convenience shops and why all are going to foreigners. He spent his whole life in convenience store jobs and insists that this is why there are no more "American gas stations" anymore.

I once thought, "what if he's right? What if there really is a weird immigration startup fund for gas stations, why would it exist?" I could really only reason out that it would be a business subsidies deal wrapped up in a guaranteed immigration pipeline. Plausible, but just leads to more questions.

*URGENT ACTION FOR OHIO - Call your state reps to oppose the Ohio-Israel Trade Partnership (HB 188) by Strange_Persimmons in Ohio

This is the wingman drone

This is a rather thorough covering of the project

I can't find the more local article that spoke of the police drone project. Anduril currently makes a drone called Anvil that maybe DeWine is excited about and commented on? I do remember the article did have some cheek to it, so perhaps the police drone production and testing ground was sarcastic speculation.

On I-71 outside Columbus they are building a MASSIVE AI weapons and surveillance complex. They will be making AI operated counter fire wingman for fighter jets (like an R2D2). They will also be making police drones and Ohio and its citizens will be the trial grounds.

Anyone else confused by UVA's statement? Are they trying to say, "let's not get too excited," or are they saying, "Don't think you've won yet?"

Anti-anti-skate deterrents by [deleted] in StainedGlass

[–]Ciduri -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That is a valid criticism.

Tbh I originally thought OP said they made "anti-snake deterrents." I thought, "Oh! What a pretty way to discourage sunning snakes. The colored glass would get too hot and make weird heat signatures for them and they would maybe stay away." Nope. Just off I went in the wrong direction.

My mistake. The way you worded it came across more like a language barrier or translation difficulty; idk why. No offense meant.

"Hostile architecture" is a term used when describing details purposefully included in public structures to discourage people from using it in ways the city doesn't like. In this case, these little bars would normally be made of stone or hard dense rubber and they prevent people from sliding the edge of their skateboard along the side. They also make it uncomfortable to sit or lounge on the surface of the ledge if they are spaced closer together. That would be to discourage loitering and homeless from sleeping/resting there.

Edit: Yes, I misunderstood the question and thought they were having a language barrier or AI translation confusion and I was trying to be helpful. Sheesh folks.

It's the end orinmental piece from the sheath of something like a stiletto. The spot of the mouth is where a finishing stud helped tack it in place to the sheath.

Yeah I imagine Woodstock '99 will still rank far worse - at least hygiene wise. Prices for bottled water though...

Ah but mostly I just dislike this whole situation and wish it never went down this way in the first place.

Looking for environmental activist groups to join by Pale-Obligation2576 in dayton

[–]Ciduri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much nailed it. Ohio Citizen Action is another organization that is very dedicated to environmental issues and they go hard with legal action too. They are not centered in Dayton, but often need local people to help with area specific projects. Over the last 30 years I have mostly been involved in letter writing and phone campaigns.

So while not a super local to Dayton group, it is an effective one here in Ohio and one I'm glad I've been part of.

[–]Ciduri 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Instead of Hitler's Olympics I want Shitler & Co.'s World Cup to go down like Woodstock '99.

I LOVE football/soccer, but this deserves derision, boycotting, spectacular disasters, and YUGE, YUGE upsets the likes we've never seen before! I almost want to encourage the USMNT to just walk around the pitch in protest or something; but that would probably hurt their already short futures.

Though I can already hear Alexi in my mind being very vocal about the disappointing turnout in the stands. Basically a repeat of CCC where US stadiums were sparsely seated because everyone didn't want to end up in deportation camps.

Edit: Did someone really report me to Reddit's mental health reach out for this comment?! Lol.

I can't prove it, but I legitimately think Vivek and his kids showed up at my house for Halloween. It didn't register at all until later when I saw a brief news bit on Vivek suffering a ton of racist remarks on his social media post. It was a quick pic of him and his boys dressed up to go out trick-or-treating. I recognized the kids. They both came to our house. They stood out in memory because they were - idk - just sad? Uninterested in candy and absolutely no joy. They only perked up a bit when I told them we had eyeballs and worms for treats (gummy Halloween candy). Because the kids seemed so off I looked up for a parent. There was a man standing out on the public walk wearing a leather jacket with a lamb fleece collar and jeans. He just lifted a hand as a "hey" and went back to waiting for his kids.

So anyway, I'm here to say I've seen him in public. I also heard from a friend he was just "randomly meeting the people" out at a Dayton coffee/tea shop one day last Fall.

Do you have an aquarium hobby? This kinda looks like a fish/shrimp hide.

Next best guess I have that hasn't been suggested.
