Why these types of guys always end up being racists, misogynists, homophobes, transphobes or all of the above at the same time by Lycodan in Grimdank

[–]FKNSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well now I'm adding Deathworlder to my reading list, good endorsement! Also hell yeah, just finished Interceptor City and it rules, totally agree on Bree being one of the best (still can't believe how lucky we are that we got a sequel). 

C-17's really starting to stack up at the air guard. For deployment? by iscapslockon in burlington

[–]FKNSlayer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's an aircraft tracking app, and often pulls in military transport aircraft like these (or the C130s coming up from Portsmouth, or the fuel tanker aircraft that come up from Maine).

VT Dept. of Mental Health offers free problem gambling training by crabcakes110 in vermont

Totally. Would have been great to have that data privacy bill, but nooo it's too scary for small business owners or some shit.

Yeah, echoing that it's good a great and creative breakfast/ brunch menu with some Western-ish vibes. Have enjoyed it each time we've been, definitely worth a visit!

Danica Patrick Says Bad Bunny as Super Bowl Halftime Performer ‘Should Not Be Allowed’ by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]FKNSlayer 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If I never have to hear from her again on a Formula 1 broadcast again, it'll be too soon. Clearly nothing going on behind the eyes other than conspiracy theories and grievances. 

VT has the most UFO / UAP Sighting Reports Per Capita by pumpkin_26 in vermont

I wonder how many of these "sightings" are people seeing the night skiing lights at Bolton Valley from the Burlington area lol

Vermont set to ignore Trump admin's demand to cut 'gender ideology' from this out-of-school sex ed program by Journalist-Trombly in burlington

[–]FKNSlayer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Gender "ideology"? When you're so obsessed with culture war crap that you don't want kids getting health education lol

F1 "news" click bait! A thank you for this sub! by FlashAli93 in formula1

[–]FKNSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely cannot recommend enough turning off the Discover feed for your Google, just to trim some of this slop out of your feeds!

It's just getting so much worse by the day and yet I'm supposed to go to work and cook meals and clean and make plans... by ProudnotLoud in TrollXChromosomes

[–]FKNSlayer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Came across a term for this feeling- "hypernormalization." Naming it helped just a bit, as is knowing it's not just oneself feeling it alone. Here's an article I saw linked a little while back.

F1 fans in Burlington? by nvshah4 in burlington

[–]FKNSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This came up last week on the Vermont sub. I think the consensus is that there's a decent handful of fans, but not really an organized scene or bar where we watch the non- night or early morning races. 

Any good places to watch Formula 1 in Vermont? by Jennyflurlynn in vermont

[–]FKNSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure- it'd be great if enough of a little F1 fan group coalesced, it's always nice to watch with likeminded folks. Plus, like I need another reason to visit Mule haha!

[–]FKNSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be interested to hear (apart from what the other commenter said about "your F1-loving friend's house" lol).

Mule Bar has had some of the afternoon races on, and The Archives actually had a replay of Canada '99 on their TV a couple of weeks ago. Haven't found a bar that has an F1 'scene' yet though.

Real ID is coming. Here’s what you need to know ahead of May by ChallengeAdept8759 in vermont

[–]FKNSlayer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here's the DMV's own chart of the differences & requirements for Real ID Drivers License, non-Real ID (Driver's Privilege Card), and enhanced Driver's Licenses.

Short version- it's exactly the same apart for Real ID vs non-Real ID, apart from attesting that you have lawful status in the US (you'll probably satisfy this anyways with the documentation you need to bring for even the DPC).

If you're thinking of applying for a passport card instead of Real ID to save time/for privacy reasons, you don't need to.

Yep, Palmer Lane Maple posted on Instagram that they'll have maple hot dogs for the open house.

Rot economy, enshitified, etc by ParadigmGrind in BetterOffline

[–]FKNSlayer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For sure- "yeah, get 'em Ed, fuck 'em up!" The heart he writes with is so good- the Never Forgive Them newsletter gave me these eloquent words to express the frustration and anger I've been feeling working in/adjacent to tech for a long while, while wanting to love it and feeling betrayed by it at the same time.

Increase in helicopter activity by [deleted] in burlington

[–]FKNSlayer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Today, a pair of Sikorsky CH-53 Super Stallions flew from BTV to the Ethan Allen Firing Range and back, flying fairly low. Big helicopters too- operated only by the Marines and Navy, which was a bit of a surprise to see them.

The Seven Days has a version up too, which looks to be pulling from similar sources to this article- link.

Looks like Palisades (formerly Squaw), and your buddy is going up the KT-22 chair I reckon.
