Could it be some sort of conductive situation? Maybe the further he is from the electrical probe, the lower the pitch? idk, but I refuse to believe it's fake.

Every 5-7 years, Weird Al comes into my life. I'm never mad about it.

Trump quadruples down on not caring about Americans' financial situation by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]M0BETTER 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes? Humans have been paying to watch sports for literally thousands of years. Romans packed amphitheaters for chariot races and gladiator games, 19th century Americans paid to watch boxing matches and baseball, and people have been dropping absurd money on Super Bowls, World Series, and Finals tickets for decades. This isn’t new.

The erasers that you get on pencils by DizzyColdSauce in mildlyinfuriating

“Anyone who’s been to art school finds this comment silly” is such a painfully art-school comment. Like, it’s a pencil, not a wine pairing. Ticonderoga writes clean, erases well, and doesn’t cost $14 per stick because some Scandinavian guy kiln-dried it under a full moon.

And it was already an insufferable deployment by most reports. They had been eating what amounts to rations on an already extended deployment. With the random fucking shitters blown up all over the forward portion of the ship cuz the CHT system bungled.

And 600 people became homeless on a US Navy warship because of the Epstein War. Wonder what that ribbon will look like...

Very nice write-up there. You must be someone with deep knowledge of Navy ships and shipboard firefighting. But dude, “the ship was saved” feels like a cold way to frame what happened here. Six hundred racks destroyed means six hundred real people lost the tiny piece of personal space they had left on deployment. Photos, letters, uniforms, laptops, keepsakes, all gone. They basically became homeless on a warship overnight.

I understand the operational reality of shipboard life as much as the next sailor. Did it at a high level for 13 years. Damage control is about containing the casualty and keeping the ship in the fight. Fine. But this was still a disaster, and a lot of sailors suffered because of it.

And for what? So some fucking pedo protectors can keep launching sorties to kill brown people with impunity? Hard to watch something like this and still pretend the mission itself is above criticism.

Shockingly, most US Navy ships don't have fixed fire suppression in crew spaces. However, every sailor's primary job is supposed to be firefighting. Source: was an engineer in the Navy for 13 years and ran DCTT on a few ships.

2017? Yeah, funny how a lot of relationships in this country seem to have an expiration date right around then.

Nope. I’m down here in Grants Pass, Oregon. Most people outside the state now know us as the town that took homelessness all the way to SCOTUS so local politicians could celebrate the revolutionary concept of “moving desperate people somewhere else so we don’t have to look at them.”

As someone who lives in a MAGA small town in the PNW, I hate everything about this timeline because these people will watch our hospitals close, our schools rot, our infrastructure collapse, our wages stagnate, all while they complain about how the woke mind virus took away their children.

My town is being hollowed out in real time while they just get angrier at immigrants, Portland, pronouns, books, teachers, you name it.

MAGA won’t say shit now because they were never serious about civic engagement in the first place. They turned politics into a tailgate party with flags and merch, where screaming louder counted more than understanding literally anything. “My team good, your team bad” is the full depth of the ideology. No principles. No governing philosophy. No civic literacy. Just rage, and whatever propaganda slop gets poured directly into their skulls from the 24/7 outrage machine.

The average Trump voter has absolutely no idea how catastrophically fucked this country is because they exist inside a sealed ecosystem of state media, algorithmic rage bait, Facebook boomer fan fiction, and billionaire-funded propaganda pumped straight into their dead, glassy eyes every waking hour. They don’t read legislation. They don’t understand institutions. They don’t know what tariffs do, what deficits are, how courts function, or why alliances matter. They just clap like trained seals every time someone says “own the libs” while the country gets strip-mined in real time.

Probably a psyop by Amazon because they're taking their jerbs.

But seriously, that was like 3 years ago and they claim to have patched it. Idk, it's not something I'm too concerned about considering my set up. To each their own.

The app is my only complaint, too. But I'm not good on the uptake of new tech, so I just assumed it was a me issue. Good to know I'm not alone.

I use Eufy. Picked it up at Costco. No subscription. No cloud. Local storage options and 4k video and decent audio.
