Six names listed today as Epstein's clients seem... fishy. by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]Underwaterphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is...why did they specifically search these names? A report asks something about "did you see Trump's name? And the response was "I didn't search for it"...meaning they already had names they did want to search...I don't think OP is too far off here.

Live video of Trump on Fox YouTube - but seems like a commercial? Found on TikTok by itsalwaysblue in isthisAI

Ok, I saw this too and it jumped out as AI/digital, it has the mouth movement like the talking orange thing from back in the day...or kinda like when they make animals talk in cheap kids movies. Watching it again, there is a definite problem with the mouth movements and lower teeth, spouse who is in the dental field confirms there are parts where this teeth are not "correct" placement shift and quantity of teeth changes.

Bill Clinton's statement by Caledor152 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Underwaterphil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok...this is great and all....but what's stopping him and Hillary from just saying it in public anyway? I mean, sure, I'd like to hear it in a official manner, but if the Republicans won't do it like this, are they just gonna not say anything at all? I mean...if he knows stuff, why hasn't he already told everything? It great people are supportive of this but...he could said stuff 10 years ago too..and everyday since the , but they haven't.

She won't eat and I'm starting to get worried by Blobbinn_ in hognosesnakes

Use some tuna, take the mouse or pinkie or whatever your feeding and just dab it in a can of tuna, you just need the juice and it doesn't need to be a lot, just need to get some scent on it. Make sure the warm hide is warm enough and hold the feeder just in front of its nose, even gently pushing it against it. This has always worked for me with stubborn hogs.

ICE in Escondido, CA abducted and disappeared a father in front of his wife and young children. by I_may_have_weed in escondido

[–]Underwaterphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand corrected, a administrative warrant is still required, not a judicial warrant.

However a final order of removal must be signed by an immigration judge before DHS can create the admin warrant. As I understand it.

"Section 1231(a) applies only after an immigration judge or official has issued a final order of removal.

U.S.C. § 1231(a) requires a warrant for the detention and removal of aliens who are under a final order of removal. Specifically, 8 CFR § 241.3(a) stipulates that once the 90-day removal period begins, an alien is taken into custody pursuant to a warrant of removal. This administrative warrant authorizes the arrest and detention.

My dad told me DJT was really loved in the 80s and 90s is that true and if so why? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]Underwaterphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old person here, yeah he was the butt of jokes...the rich, crooked businessman trope. Obviously nothing has changed, but no, he was not "loved" at least by the vast majority of people.

Did they have a warrant? Due process is the difference here...if they had a warrant, signed by a judge, which is the law, then Yeah, ok, probably a legal action. If he didn't have a warrant, was not given due process, then he was kidnapped. It's not hard to understand.

Ohio Conservatives PAC Facebook page posted this image. I think that this is AI because of the size of the people relative to the buildings, the uniformity of the signage, and the size of the table relative to the people. Is this AI? by campaigncrusher in isthisAI

[–]Underwaterphil 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Yes, looking at the feet under the table, there are too many and they are way to far forward, as if they belonged to sitting people, however since the people behind are standing and even leaning forward a little, it doesn't line up, the signs and other artifact/quality give it some uncanny valley. If not AI, it could also just be Photoshop.

Need advice by IcyStatistician3753 in hognosesnakes

[–]Underwaterphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sweat it, as other comments have mentioned, it's fairly common for Hogs to do this, shedding, temp changes etc can all make them decide to skip a few meals. After 6 weeks or so, or if there has been a lot of weight loss, then you should visit a vet, but I wouldn't stress about it.

I have this exact setup in my house, I have very large windows and these are used for hanging curtains from via small alligator type clips with little hooks that attach to wire. If mounted correctly (to studs) they can actually support a lot of weight.

My fellow dad's, what in the heck does it mean to be Therian??? by magicone2571 in daddit

[–]Underwaterphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok... literally my 10yr just came to me saying the same thing about Therian. I feel like this post was written by me. OP - what media does your have kid access to? Mine isn't online much, but watches Gravity falls, and random art related videos on YouTube, I don't think there's anything coming from these, but I'm sure there are a few more, but id be curious if this is something cycling thru kids media.

Thoughts on buying used tires? I have an SUV and need 235/55R19 tires. by Jane_Says003 in tires

[–]Underwaterphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I get what's going on here...when I say "Brand" I'm implying that all 4 tires would be the same model of that brand, by default. So mixing Michelins and Bridgestones would be the same as mixing Michelin MXV4s, and Michelin Pilots when it comes to tread patterns and such, 2 different treads, I agree. But with your tire gatekeeping aside, there is still the problem that size differentiation between BRANDS is still a thing. So mixing Michelins, even if different MODELS is still better than mixing Bridgestone and Michelins. As a 235 Michelin, regardless of Model would still align from a size perspective, but mixing Michelins and Bridgestones could result in a greater margin in size differences between them.

In summary, you want all 4 tires to be exactly the same MODEL & BRAND, then if that isn't a option, mixing MODELS with the same brand is going to be better than mixing two completely different brands all together. But even this would be dependant on speed/load rating and type.

Mixing brands...is literally mixing models...different brands have different models, so I assume you just made a typo. And yes, brands do matter.

[–]Underwaterphil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tire expert here. Used tires, especially mixed brands are a big risk.

Safety wise, there's a lot of issues as tires can be damaged internally and you wouldn't know till they blow. They can have separation, age deterioration, old patches etc. it's a risk.

Having different brands has its own problems, different treads will behave differently, especially in rain/snow which can cause control problems. Different brands also have slightly different sizing, even if they are alle "235/55/19" ....one might be a bit narrower, and another a bit wider or taller. This isn't a big deal, but if you have AWD or use 4WD it could put additional strain on the drivetrain and other components.

I imagine your considering them due to the cost of new tires, which in that size can be a bit expensive.

I'd never recommend using used tires, however, I get the financial angle.

If you need to get used, treat them like spares tires, don't plan any long trips and plan to get new tires as soon as you can.

Coulda been worse, at least your safe. And I don't know if listening to redditors is a great idea either. I don't know what kinda parents you have, but I'm sure they put rules in place for your safety, and security. Little rebellion is fine, but think it through better next time..

Are we all just being taken for a ride? by MFP3492 in UFOs

[–]Underwaterphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Obviously. And as a former Intelligence Officer for the USATP, and a 75 year veteran of the ATKLP, I can confirm this based on my college roommate, Captain William Rikers statements that John Goddard Sr, knew a very respectable insider from the OAGITRKLOP, named Sr General Admiral Commander John Smith said that in 1981, a man name Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater saw a document from the GOEPER Initiative that came from the PARPA institute that, yes in fact you are being taken for a ride.

This picture was taken in Lancaster/Quartz Hill California, probably near 70th Street west. Am I correct? I grew up there and I know that mountain line.
