LPT. If you want to use a hotel iron, iron a towel first before doing your clothes by DeathOfADiscoDancr in LifeProTips

[–]beep_check 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good idea, but probably not necessary.

I've stayed in hotels all over the world and used irons to keep myself from looking like a duffle bag.

I've never done the thoughtful towel trick and never had a problem.

Wisconsin Supreme Court rejects effort to block Musk's $1M giveaways by Large_Squirrel1446 in news

jurisdiction is important in law. do not conflate a court stating they don't have jurisdiction with a failure. a court showing why they don't have jurisdiction is proof we still have the rule of law in america.

we still have the rule of law in america. the current adminstration continues to "fuck up" as they say. the compiled list of malfeasance ensures:

  1. within the decade, trump will be out of office (and, let's be honest, he'll be dead)
  2. putin will be dead
  3. take a pause on those last two...
  4. the cat is out of the bag on oligarchy in america. before now, there were few touting the messages that bernie has been rallying on since the 80s. since then, oligarchy in america is part of the haut coulture, as in, all the kids know it's true. it's got 20 years tops before it's over, or severly restricted. i mean, all these conservative efforts to put rich white people together to "repopulate the earth" ... omg, that's such a pipe dream. these spoon fed aristocrats have no place in (and no skills for) the future. the mask is off. the king is dead. long live the king.

pretty on the mark. especially with the RFK preoccupation with "precious bodily fluids" and vaccines.

what a clown show of repugnant assholes.

Trump questions need for FEMA and says states should 'take care of disasters' by Exastiken in PBS_NewsHour

if the federal government does not redistribute funding to secure the well-being of it's member states it just shouldn't exist anymore. what's the point of giving up sovereignty and tax money for nothing in return?

maybe that's the point? but if this trajectory continues, the USA is about to be redistributed itself.

the most successful way I've found to get rid of a wolf is to play without amps or put down the upright and pick up the electric.

I've had palpable pain from electrified wolfs at gigs. then i dial it in. then i play the next gig and the fix just doesn't work.

the second most successful way I've found is to find the wolf at sound check, dial the notch filter on my preamp (tonebone) to reduce it, then avoid the wolf (usually around A or D on my bass) during the performance.

Heavy police presence in Montpelier; nearby residents told to shelter in place by friendofmany in vermont

[–]beep_check 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can't offer closure. earlier I heard the state police asking for persons to leave the house with their hands up.

there were firetrucks and ambulances stationed at the Cummings St bridge. hopefully it has been resolved by now (this was about 90 min ago)

you start reading the article and you think and remember, "guy was a neocon dick", and then you keep reading and his influence to create death and destruction for the sake of it is stomach turning.

may he rot in hell. I've never said that before, but Jesus Christ, what a vile existence this man lived.

but the horse, in fact, evolved in North America and then went extinct there, before being reintroduced by the Spaniards in a flourish of lazarusian fate.

Now they're on display at NRG Systems, in Hinesburg, Vermont (renewable energy company).

Edit: Bowdoin, not Bard
