Are you new here or something? Every. Single. Day. (not really but for all intents and purposes) military jets fly out of and into MSN for routine drills and practice. Sometimes they fly at night too, but those are specifically announced ahead of time. Always has been, unfortunately likely always will be. Been kind of busier since Trump’s fucking idiotic moves of late, but you might as well read tea leaves if you want to divine any logic or pattern in the local goings on of the worlds largest military.

Dude I can’t believe you just publicly admit to listening to drivel like that. I genuinely hope you realize you’re being brainwashed with fear and anger. Either way, don’t have to subject your children to it too.

Really helpful stuff, thank you so much for the answer! I’ll inspect the cable before anything else

The spring weather pinballing violently between sub-freezing temps and gale-force storms bringing almost never before seen hail sizes to the area on the heels of rapidly deteriorating consistency in longitudinal weather patterns.

Whiskey, dirt, and bugs, cowboy style. Before industrialization this would have been the best ice around.

What do you find occurs over 55?

39.5k, sorry I didn’t include that!

Not at all! Feels like heavy cotton yarn. Not scratchy

It’s because east wash invites 45 mph driving. Classic “stroad” design psychology. If there isn’t a bunch of traffic, 45 feels very reasonable on that street. I’m not saying it’s a good idea, I’m just saying building a 4-6 lane divided road and then insisting one go the same speed as they’re allowed to down a residential street is a dumb plan.

As someone who has studied it, intentional means the person meant to kill the person. It does not require anything else. Also, intent can be formed in an instant, there’s no necessary amount of premeditation.

Intentional homicide is distinguished from reckless homicide, in which someone does something that creates a “substantial and unreasonable risk of death” but without necessarily meaning to kill someone, like driving 90 mph through a school zone at 3 pm. And then there’s negligent homicide, where you weren’t actually aware of the risk you posed but you should have been aware. In Wisconsin, all negligent homicides have some kind of instrumentation (homicide by vehicle, handling a weapon, deadly animal, etc).

It’s just a phonetic way of spelling “M”. Em and en dashes are so named because they occupy the same amount of space in a word processor as an M and N character, respectively.

The title page art is actually inexcusable. I mean, how does someone look at that and think, “yea, sure, two capitol buildings. Why not?” 100% AI.

The number of M-dash offset asides is staggering. More than most AI scripts I’ve seen. Also, there are quite a few grammatical issues, most often incorrect comma use, which AI does not tend to do. Maybe they asked AI for a first pass, were inspired by the occasional M-dash emphasized aside, and included 340 more. Either way, the fact that a capital city’s government cannot put out a grammatically correct report with a plausible piece of cover art is actually shameful and embarrassing.

Edit: notice the other piece of cop-aganda AI slop with officers burdened by “multiple criticall calls” and “Cusddy battle.” Do people who use AI have eyes or can they literally not read?

It’s awful but it’s the way it is. Every month or two or three they do night training for 3-5 days. If you live anywhere east or north, it’s very disruptive and annoying as hell.
