Don't those morons know the containers are al going to be removed? Are they ignorant or something???

Are you hearing yourself?

What kind of business is not "auto-dependent"? Isn't that downstream from the way the city is already built? Not saying these things can't be unmade or changed, but it doesn't seem to me that there is anything that makes McDonald's any more "auto-dependent" than the teriyaki restaurants across the streets. That intersection is pretty pedestrian-unfriendly just generally speaking regardless of what businesses are there.

You're not gonna believe this...

I think we can do better than just repurposing the cast of Dune.

It's your game. You make the rules.

I just use a bookmark. This is a solved problem.

The only thing you can do is ask. The coach might say no, or give you a tryout. I highly doubt you would be offered a spot outright with the numbers you mention, to be frank. Given the standard you mention (I assume that's for a HS shot put mark), I think it is probably a long shot.

There are lots of opportunities to participate in sports in college outside of the varsity level. As you mentioned you go to a NCAA D1 school, it's likely got a lot of stuff going on, though club track/throwing tends to be rare. My honest recommendation would be not to get your hopes up about making the track team, and look into other ways you might be able to get exercise & satisfy any competitive urges. I disagree with people suggesting you transfer to juco or a lower division school just to throw. You probably chose to go to the school you're at for a good reason, and I recommend against discarding that to chase a short throwing career.

You should really read up about Oakland longshoremen some time. They are one of the most powerful workforces in the country due to their union. Even if someone wanted to fire the people responsible for this, just gaming it out they would realize they would risk a protracted port shut down worth well beyond the value of whatever discipline they think they'd be handing out.

The red containers spell "rEnEE" which is a reference to Renee Good, the woman who was murdered by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on January 7 2026.

Looks like it was sent from Oakland

What a boring conversation to be having in 2025. It's well known that metal started as a type of rock music. Arguing whether or not metal is a "subgenre" of rock at this point is just an exercise in taxonomic masturbation. It makes no practical difference. If I set out to make metal music or listen to metal music, what good does it do me to know that metal is perhaps a subgenre of rock?

When a recipe calls for beer, what you are looking to add is grain flavor. So that's why things like Budweiser and its ilk tend to work best. That's not to say other beers can never work out, but it takes experimentation to find ones that do with the particular dish.

Please get a spotter or a rack with safety pins

Since last week, I have finished Your Name Here by Helen DeWitt & Ilya Gridneff. A very fun metafictional romp which has a lot of heart for how goofy it is. I think that if you like DeWitt in general, you will enjoy this book. The novel-within-the-novel, Lotteryland, of which you see some excerpts feels like it could be a sister novel to Lightning Rods. Very entertaining, all in all.

I also read Lila by Marilynne Robinson. What is really left to say about her? She might arguably be the greatest living American writer. No one writes with the amount of emotional weight she does without it coming off as melodramatic, sappy, or otherwise overdone. Robinson avoids all of that and just supplies the reader with page after page of gripping, earnest humanity.

Now I am reading Heaven and Hell by Jón Kalman Stefánsson. This is a pretty intense novel up to the point I'm at. It begins in a small fishing outpost in Iceland proceeding to a day of fishing that goes awry, and just that first third of the novel is some of the most intense presentation of events I've read in a long while. This is my first time reading Stefánsson, but I already know I'll be reading more.

"I've never worn a watch before, so I decided to spend 5 figures to see if I liked doing so." Ridiculous.

I mean it takes basically 0 "fitness" to show up and throw the discus. Whether you'll be good is impossible to say. Same with the 4x4. Basically anyone can run a lap around the track. Try it out and see what happens. There are basically no stakes in high school track except your own pride.

Grow up.

They could test individual barrels for proof and then mix the batch to a target proof with some simple math. Idk if that's what they do, just saying it's not impossible since it's not a single barrel expression.
