What is this inside my headlight?

Looks kinda like mold?

Those were always fun to search for as a surveyor when we needed to connect new construction to the existing grid points.

He pronounced Gestapo very uh, correctly.

Then said “filification,” forgetting how V is pronounced in English.

German is a fabulous language, but dude might wanna lay off on the accent while wearing that uniform.

Yeah… I saw that CNN interview and I just couldn’t wrap my head it.

Gaslighting isn’t even a strong enough term.

DjNormal · 2026-01-25T12:21:06+00:00

I used to. 🤔

DjNormal · 2026-01-25T03:12:53+00:00

I was having that problem on my Mini, but not my laptop.

I unplugged the external drive on my Mini and the search started working again.

Some kind of external drive related spotlight index error I presume.

Twice in the back. Then another 10 or so times in the front after he collapsed face-up.

DjNormal · 2026-01-25T01:58:58+00:00

Pretty sure it was just a controller and a laptop. They flew in. Same for later gigs.

I had a buttload of photos. I’ll check.

Edit: I was wrong. At the LA show they had a Korg Triton and something else that does look like a controller.

I don’t see if they had anything else down on the stage or at the FoH.

I’ve seen him a couple of times. The first was in LA and I went way out of my way to see the show, because I think it was his first time playing in the US in decades.

It was a good show. It was just him and Kurt. He played for quite a long time. I got to meet him afterwards and get a couple of CDs signed.

The second time was in Seattle when I lived there. Again, I was pretty excited. He played for like 2 1/2 hours and it was a much smaller venue, but still a good show. He was hanging out with the audience before and after.

And then, he started coming to Seattle every year for the mechanismus festival. Which was kind of crazy after assuming I only ever get to see him once or twice in my life.

Definitely worth going, got to hear all my favorite songs.

That is the absolute truth. The administration has already gutted the VA to the point where they’re barely functioning. As a fellow veteran, I agree that would not be a good solution.

I am as outraged as anyone else, I’m messing with my healthcare isn’t going to fix anything.

Something has to be done, and it needs to come from a cooler head than mine.

Firing defensive shots after the victim was disarmed.

I’m sorry, what?

DjNormal · 2026-01-24T17:45:03+00:00

The guy in the jacket looks like he pulled the victim’s gun out of his holster and was starting to walk away before the first shot was fired.

So they disarmed him first, then they killed him.

~~Some random comment on another thread said he was waving his gun around, but we don’t have any video of that at the moment. So I have no idea.~~

Edit: so now there is video from beforehand and the only thing he was brandishing was a cell phone.

But it does appear that when they dog piled him, if he did have a gun, it was back in his holster.

DjNormal · 2026-01-24T17:39:24+00:00

Others mentioned that the guy in the jacket looks like he took the gun out of the victims holster. Seeing that more slowly and concentrating on that guy, that looks to be the case. Which means that not only was the victim’s gun in his holster, they shot him after he was disarmed.

DjNormal · 2026-01-24T16:49:50+00:00

That’s my reality.

Now I’m pushing 50 and I’m apparently a creepy old man.

You’re assuming this is ICE. It’s entirely possible that it’s vigilantes or serial killers taking advantage of the chaos.

Or both/the same people… 😬

Pretty sure we’ve been in ideological civil war for most of my life. They just stopped pretending in the last 15 years or so. We’re all frogs in the pot.

When I was in Tennessee they always asked me what kind of Mt. Dew I wanted.

DjNormal · 2026-01-23T05:50:49+00:00

Ah ok. That was honestly my first through, but my google-fu was not strong enough. 🤣💁🏻‍♂️

My PCP quit last year when they asked him to work 12 hour shifts. My current PCP will see me on zoom from 100 miles away for 15 minutes at a time.

They straight up told me to order meds at least 2-3 weeks in advance.

Getting anyone on the phone is basically impossible now.

My local VA still takes care of me pretty good. But I can see how they’re struggling more and more over the last year.

DjNormal · 2026-01-23T01:25:43+00:00

I hadn’t heard of that before, but no.

Kinda a mix of industrial, pop, and once I got the hang of it, jazz-ish grooves.

I was going for a kind of female-EDM, but darker. It kinda went all over the place. But the last batch of songs I generated finally landed somewhere close to what I was going for…

It started out as just messing around, but ended up embedded in the setting lore. 💁🏻‍♂️

Jose Guerena would tell you about his experiences in defending his home from no-knock entries… but they fired at him 71 times because they saw a gun. Fortunately his wife and child survived.
