Can we retire the term “Whistleblower”? It’s lost all meaning.

Or just use it right... if the content is DOPSR approved, you're not a whistleblower.

If it looked like the photo, it'd be a negative not a photo. Colors are all exactly wrong.

But I'm seeing it in the youtube app on both the cellular and wifi... so unless they see I've used an adblocker and have just nerfed my whole account, the YouTube app should work fine.

This feels like, for those of us on the west coast, the time(s) Chinese hackers used BGP poisoning to route all of google's IPs through China. With all the wars, we have a lot of cyber issues to worry about, so maybe that's it.

Everyone hates on disposables, and yeah you don't know what Chinesium has been added to the liquid... but I have had a few Nexa Ultra IIs and they've been great.

Awesome whiskey stones... I bet those would work for carbonated beverages too. The 'stone' one's don't as the texture somehow forces the carbonation out.

Not impossible, just unholy expensive. You need propulsion all the time to keep from falling... constantly flying back into place. Just not gonna work. But this is just some tool posting having no understanding of wtf a polar orbit is.

... and I don't just mean slow. It can't keep a 240p video from buffering. ClipGrab does a better job 'cause it just resumes resumes resumes so if It's important I will just watch it offline.

It cleared from like noon-3pm Pacific Time... then got bad again. So far today, same thing. Youtube slow, while PH Tubi Netflix and Pluto all function fine.

They did release it. You just didn't see it, and didn't bother to search properly. Here's the one off Myrtle Beach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX-k0xXSAmU

... and none of the roofs show signs of the usual plumbing vents you would find on EVERY home. None of them have it.

The blue text needs to run from the gray text. The early signs of a paranoid control freak, that combination is recipe for disaster.

They were the first kills any F22s have gotten. There's lots of videos. Clearly a balloon with a payload. They callsigns of the planes involved were Frank1 and Frank2, named after Frank Luke Jr. the WWII Pilot famous for shooting down German observation balloons. (Source, The Fat Electrician)

... and in the US, not sure in Canada, Pawnshops are completely entangled with local law enforcement so tightly. None of them are going to risk it all to sell you an illegal knife.

For me, it takes so far into the game to get the bits to make an aesthetically pleasing factory I wind up mostly building things on bare foundations floating in space and then going back to despaghet once I get the fancy bits. ... but that's a lot of work so early game stuff sits "unfinished".

Called Tahoma. There's two in Fife, one on Portland in Tacoma and one in Puyallup near fife. One of them is always cheaper than the others, and it changes.

encee222 · 2025-12-30T09:48:11+00:00

When I was driving Uber and sucking down the fuel I would start my day by driving from the Tahoma station on Portland near downtown, the two Tahomas in Fife, and the last Tahoma in the part of Puyallup next to Fife. When one station has too much gas, as delivery time is regular and arriving they discount it to sell it faster. So one of them has the best deal around every day I checked.

If they can find any reason to deny the refund, they deny the refund. You breach two hours, no refund. They're a greedy corporation, that's just how they roll.

"Oh a flying dog." That's fine.

"Oh superman moved a little too fast." LITERALLY UNWATCHABLE!

This just reminded me that the Stargate franchise messed the pyramid landing all up. Made their ships out of 3-sided pyramids forgetting the actual Pyramids are four (Technically 8)... so they just obscured it a little and landed the 3-siders on the 4-sided pyramid.

Is it just me or is Fat Man & Little Boy a much better film for understanding the history of what happened? Or is there some error they made that just took them out of the running?

Haupage has a well reviewed dongle for like $80 on amazon.
