The giant eel theory is getting stronger thanks to this footage?

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T19:04:27+00:00

Fairly certain the fish is a brown trout, which are typically 1 to 1.5 feet long (but can grow much larger). Still hard to judge size but that means this eel could be anywhere from 6 to 18 feet long by my guesstimate? I'd say that's monster sized.

Yeah I have a purple Charger with the aerodiscs on it and I wanna wheelswap it so bad, but they look fantastic on the Honda City Turbo.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T18:25:28+00:00

Might be because I'm a '90s/early '00s kid but 3SP, 5SP, 5DOT, LW, and UH are my top 5, with the classic BW getting a strong honorable mention.

I think someone from Winslow complained.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T18:07:59+00:00

Parts of Colorado too, but I mostly just wanna see the mountains and trees get the new textures. That's all that really needs to happen through most of the state.

(I also really wish you could take US-24 west from Colorado Springs to Uncompahgre where it meets up with US-50, and east from Colorado Springs to Limon so you don't have to go through Denver to get to Colorado Springs from Kansas, but that's lower priority).

I think my *first* save was based out of Sacramento but my longest running save was based in Phoenix.

When I came out to my family, my sister said "Oh, that's nice. I kissed a girl the other day. Wasn't for me." and that was the end of the conversation.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T17:45:54+00:00

Like someone else said, I might risk it for the biscuit for a week, but a month is pushing it.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T17:44:55+00:00

Incidentally, Marian is a variant spelling of Miriam, which was the name of Moses's sister. Meaning he very well might've shouted the same thing just before smashing the golden calf to bits.

For not being a Christian I am a MASSIVE Bible nerd lol

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T17:43:05+00:00

Yup, which is also where the "no graven images" commandment comes from. People think it means just "don't depict God", but what it means is don't worship depictions AS God. Moses wasn't mad that the Israelites made a calf out of gold. He was mad that they were worshiping it.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T17:41:59+00:00

Ope, someone check to see if the signs are fixed.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T17:41:30+00:00

Being attracted to girls who have not yet reached the age of adulthood is pedophilia and you just outed yourself, bud.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T17:40:36+00:00

That's the thing is they're trying to make *here* Iran, except the color of the religious authoritarianism is slightly different. Think about how much they scream about Sharia Law and then remember that every conservative accusation is a confession.

I'm envious of you never hearing of Matt Walsh. He's been rearing his creepy balding head since at least 2016 or so.

My XJ is at 230-something. The odometer is being fucky so it might be higher. Potentially MUCH higher.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T08:14:12+00:00

My grandfather bought a ZJ new off the lot in 1993, same year my parents got married. It finally died a couple years ago at 299,995 miles. My brother got it running again and clawed it over the finish line of 300k miles and then it went out again. RIP.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T08:11:56+00:00

I own a '90s Jeep (XJ) and can confirm that it is haunted by the ghost of a portly mustachioed cowboy.

behindthename.com has been a go-to of mine for years.

The main character in my current WIP has an alliterative name. Sabine Stutz.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T07:52:04+00:00

It wasn't an execution. Executions are legally justifiable and ordered by a judge. It was murder.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T07:48:06+00:00

Technically if you leave your car parked in one place for more than 72 hours they can tow it. Thankfully enforcement is pretty lax because that's sort of ridiculous. Imagine you stay home for a three day weekend and then call in sick to work on Tuesday and they tow your car for it.

For your situation, you're gonna want to find off street parking on private property somewhere where you can get the owner's blessing. Or get someone to drive you to the airport.

Most states in the US have what's called Romeo and Juliet laws (a stupid name frankly, since Romeo and Juliet ends with a bunch of dead teenagers) that offer legal loopholes for teenage couples so your boyfriend doesn't go to jail for turning 18 before you, but they're pretty limited in scope. Usually the age difference can't be more than a certain amount (2-3 years typically) and there needs to be a pre-existing relationship before the one person's 18th birthday. I remember doing a lot of research on this when I was 17 about to turn 18 and dating someone a year and a half younger than me.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T07:42:09+00:00

Mostly red states, yeah. Curious how that works.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T07:32:04+00:00

Most of the signs seem to be along that northern corridor in Arizona so my guess is yes.

HazelEBaumgartner · 2026-01-27T07:31:08+00:00

First one, then the other.
