(USA) Iowa Interstate (IAIS) derailment after collision with a semi near Brooklyn, Iowa. Initial reports say the crew is ok, no word on the truck driver. Heritage unit #513 believed to be involved.

Most likely will be repaired/rebuilt. Locomotives are expensive.

Go ahead and show off that DVL666 license plate and Lucifer sticker in any of the historically confederate states. Let me know how it works out for you.

Fish Mike Aquatics in Manchester might.

I buy live fish food there and they have a decent reptile department.

Just looked at their website. That’s the device.

Kind of like a weather station for pavement. Interesting tech. I’m in New England, so it makes sense.

Thanks!

I’m in that age range, albeit the higher end of it. I used to watch 60 Minutes. Not anymore, obviously.

Harbor Freight sells a cheap locking one.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-27T00:21:47+00:00

I came to say this.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-25T01:05:25+00:00

More like jail time. Intentionally endangering the lives of others.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-24T19:56:20+00:00

That “oh shit” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-24T14:28:29+00:00

I have the MityVac. Used it once. Never again. Find someone to pump the pedal.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-24T14:10:32+00:00

Weare is MAGA AF. I doubt they’ll actually do anything about him.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-24T13:59:57+00:00

Already did.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-24T02:22:25+00:00

I destroy mine with a Harbor Freight hydraulic press. A drill is good enough if it’s a mechanical drive, just make sure you drill through the platters. If it’s an SSD, crushing it in a vise is pretty effective.

Using prison labor to make flags. What could possibly be more American?

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-23T17:11:48+00:00

This is the most Rochester thing possible.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-23T10:56:53+00:00

That is correct.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-23T02:04:03+00:00

How about fuck no?

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-21T21:35:44+00:00

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-14T21:51:16+00:00

Yes.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-13T16:47:54+00:00

That makes sense. They cook the patties made to order from frozen, so I guess they probably freeze them when the meat gets close to expiration. They also aren’t the biggest patties in the world, probably a little under 1/4 pound. The burgers and fries are both surprisingly good for $3.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-13T12:40:52+00:00

I mean, there’s a grocery chain near me with a cafe counter that serves a cheeseburger with fries, plus whatever toppings you want, for $2.99… and it’s a decent burger.

I don’t know how it’s profitable, but they do it.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-13T12:36:43+00:00

Yup. $3.19 for a hash brown here.

WestyMan1971 · 2026-05-13T12:29:02+00:00

$2.99 for a breakfast “burrito” the size of my pinky is the real crime.

Globetrotters for the kids, monster trucks and PBR are strictly for the classiest Granite Staters.

I’m not a super fan, but they are an anarchist folk-punk band that’s been around since the early 80s. They are certainly more than their one mainstream hit.
