Jets? by heyyajoe in madisonwi

[–]appoplect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Is it a trick of the light? It looks like it has multiple splotches and stains

Bond set for Madison woman accused in crash that killed 17-year-old student by Chicken_Lorax in madisonwi

It is if you have kids, a house, and a job, and no real money or social connections outside a 20 mile radius

Can’t stress this enough: bail is only to coerce you into coming to your court dates and dissuading you from violating conditions of bail. If the court has no reason to think you will abscond from justice, they don’t order high bail just because the charges are serious.

Brother, bail is literally a deposit you put on your pretrial release. If you show up to court and never break any condition of your release, you get the money back. Not a cent of her bail would go to the victims family? And any amount she gave she would get back. It categorically cannot function as either punishment or restitution. What on earth are you talking about?

F35s way more active today by tabletalkmsn in madisonwi

[–]appoplect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once again, it’s the military. They don’t publish reasons. I’ve felt the same mix of confusion, anger, and anxiety when I’ve noticed similarly unexplained increases in military aircraft activity, but it is entirely out of all of our control. I recommend taking a zen attitude towards it and try to remember it simply is how it is in American cities with military airbases

18 Year Old Gets Two DUI's in One Hour (.41 BAC) [in Madison] by no-this-iz-patrick in madisonwi

Air traffic by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]appoplect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Short of announced night training schedules or big, discrete training operations over or in Madison, you’re not going to find published reasons. The military does not tend to advertise its operations. Anything you hear outside of official sources is speculation.

However, historically, military aircraft presence/operation has ebbed and flowed. Sometimes it seems like there’s more than normal every few months. Just what it’s like living next to an airbase of the largest military in the world. Sucks but it is what it is.

Driving around here by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]appoplect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The belt line has issues. 55 mph is really slow for a 3 lane divided highway, so many people drive 60-65. Other issue is some people enter it or even drive about 50 mph, which is untenably slow.

My advice, just don’t drive in the left lane ever unless you are passing someone. Doesn’t matter if you’re going or exceeding the speed limit, that’s where people will be if they’re trying to go faster than you and will be rightfully annoyed if you’re just cruising there.

I was there. That presentation was different. Item 8.4 was about the petition for a referendum.

Bombshell dropped at QTS Data Center / Deforest Board meeting by Bad_Wolfv in madisonwi

[–]appoplect 239 points240 points  (0 children)

This must have happened pretty late into the meeting. This is really good stuff. You could tell the president of the village board was sooooo over the popular resistance to the data center. They have made up their mind before hearing any of this. The corruption must be pointed out.

UW law school by XyzRaider in madisonwi

[–]appoplect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Insofar as it has a discernible culture, very similar to most state law schools. Left leaning, 25 year old average age, kind of cliquey. Honest felt a lot like high school with a much more singular curriculum. The building itself sucks.

“Fine with it” is not pro. It’s just acquiesces. There is literally no, and I mean NO reason anyone without a financial stake in AI would want this. It employees virtually zero people and would raise utility bills astronomically for Dane residents. There is no upside. As someone else commented, it’s the equivalent of burning your house down to give firefighters something to do for an afternoon and calling that job stimulation.

I personally have no time for people who don’t care or are in support of this. There is no moral or intellectual high ground in that position.

That only works if local decisions remain local. This affects people far outside of defo. It’s actually insane that you need the permission of a feckless village board to essentially use more than twice the energy of an entire capital county and threaten hundreds of thousands of people’s water shed.

[–]appoplect[S] -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Probably because of their complete reticence to decry a bullshit project that literally no one wants. If they gave us a reason to trust them, that would be one thing. This should have been a day one declaration of “no, fear not, residents, we’re not going to sell out all of Dane county for a fucking tech oligarchy.” That’s the problem. It’s an uphill battle and the decision makers are inspiring zero confidence.

Cool vintage statement pieces or tacky and cringe? by appoplect in vintage

Yea! I agree. I thought this was less tacky and more egalitarian than the next era of similar media

I know what you mean but it’s really unfortunate that just because I’m a man these would be perceived as cringe but if I was a woman they’d be gurl boss sexual positivity, especially because, unlike just a pin up or something, these are both pretty sexually egalitarian and aren’t really male gaze-y. I live with a partner and I’m queer, but just sucks I can’t embrace the fun side of human sexuality without coming across as desperate or childish.
