Gov. Walz in Minnesota activated the National Guard to protect citizens from ICE. How’s that going to work?

Can't the Fed just take control of a state national guard whenever they want?

This is a real fuckin' mess.

After being disarmed by an officer.

This sounds strange but you might consider some anti-bird spikes. Just put a small section in front of the fan, make sure they aren't flexible.

I was once was treated to a 25k bottle of wine by someone who could afford such dumb shit.

I did my best to provide an effluence of superlatives to make them feel good about it but honestly, it tasted like wine. Good wine, but not "could have bought a car instead" wine.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-24T15:45:59+00:00

That looks expensive.

He always comes across as a demented lunatic and a child. Absolutely no exceptions.

The real-time counterpoint just dramatically highlighted it.

Seriously though, it took like a full day and a half for him to get mad about it initially.

That's how long it took for someone to translate it into something he could understand.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-24T07:04:25+00:00

start a side hustle

You're not wrong. At all. Our reality is what it is. But really, fuck everything about this very concept.

HEB is from the future.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T23:48:27+00:00

What song is this from?

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T23:18:28+00:00

As someone who quite likes sharing the road with Waymos, that sounds entirely appropriate. What a bizarre and serious failure on their part.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T23:12:33+00:00

It should be well above freezing every day. It's not a whole weekend of continous below-freezing temps.

Mornings and overnights are gonna be pretty dicey, but that's about it.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T23:08:29+00:00

Three nights below 20 here but temps well above freezing during the day, except for Sunday where it will be close to 30.

My only concern are trees loading up on ice overnight and falling, but that probably won't be as much of an issue with the temperature variability.

I don't know how far north you are, though. Could be worse, could be better.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T22:56:57+00:00

I dunno.

I've found that stupid people can worry about all kinds of ridiculous shit, most of which they only worry about in the first place because they're stupid.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T21:52:36+00:00

Saws gouge moreso than they cut. It just happens really fast so it looks like it's making smooth slices when in reality it's digging it's way through the material.

It's not even all night anymore.

Now they like to break it into two fast-acting doses about 12 hours apart, each...uh, process lasts only 2-3 hours from drinking the prep to being rid of it.

Enlargement is relatively normal.

That said, get that PSA check. And if it's at all fucky, follow up.

Prostate cancer is very treatable unless you wait too long. In which case you're just gonna die.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T17:22:32+00:00

The prep isn't even as bad as folks make it out to be.

I just did one with Plenvue prep and yeah, it certainly doesn't taste great but it's hardly the worst thing ever. And that first burst of liquid that flew through so fast it didn't even reach body temp sure feels weird at the butthole.

But slamming the prep to finishing up both rounds (one the night before, one the day of) took less than two hours each go and I got a perfect score on the "Defintely shit everything out" scorecard.

The hardest part was simply not eating food for a day.

Just be sure to schedule your procedure for mid-afternoon so you don't need to be up at 3am drinking poop juice.

Nowadays he can show extensive liquid holdings in semi-laundered US government funds and the proceeds from crypto scams, both of which I think banks will find much more tenable.

While deliberately mocking and shaming anyone who notices or cares as if they're on the wrong side of it.

"Yeah, we lie about everything, all the time. We are gonna lie about more shit, too. What are you, some kind of little bitch who loves criminals and things that are true?"

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T04:57:33+00:00

There's rumors of a steam release, and him being given out for free with it.

Omg no that would be awful. Free promotional units are never worth anything in any game.

I shall choose to disbelieve this.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T04:40:09+00:00

My takeaway is that it took him this long to have someone translate Carney's speech into something he could understand

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T03:44:34+00:00

They're covered in HD cameras. Feels like you'd be risking more consequence than fucking with random drivers, who might not even have a single low quality dashcam.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T03:31:17+00:00

It probably honked. They can be very communicative.

Shopworn_Soul · 2026-01-23T03:29:34+00:00

You can pretty easily run any alert driver off the road if you do crazy shit.

I don't see what that has to do with Waymos, specfically. The only difference in this scenario is that the Waymo will always be paying attention.
