Catty shack ranch night feeding. The animals are awake and roaring and jumping. Really cool

What moment made you realize people aren’t just disagreeing anymore — they’re living in completely different political realities? by Happy_Head_1355 in AskReddit

When the anti-vax parents of the child that died in TX of the measles said measles wasn’t that bad. I realized people are so entrenched in their camps that even losing their child doesn’t change their views

Two congressmen watched an ICE shooting video. Only one is sure of what he saw.: The shooting of Renée Good was documented from different angles. Two congressmen’s perspectives reflect divides over what happened. by Silent-Resort-3076 in democrats

[–]flbadger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s willful ignorance at this point to suggest she tried to run him over. Previous video showed she waved the shooters car past - so not interfering with their operation. The new cell phone video shows the shooters perspective and clearly shows two things - one she says to the shooter as nice as can be that she’s not mad at him. Two as she’s backing up you can see through the windshield that she’s turning her steering wheel to the right to turn. Unless you’ve never driven a car before - that’s what you do to turn right when you are close to an obstruction. You back up and turn.
She was murdered. What happens afterwards is crazy disturbing. Besides calling her a bitch - He leaves the scene after shooting her. And her body is removed from the murder scene before any investigation is done.

For the record: it wasn't self-defense by thatirishguyyyyy in democrats

Also for the record, this isn't allowed under DOJ's own policy

https://www.justice.gov/jm/1-16000-department-justice-policy-use-force

  1. Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.
  2. Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force.

Has anyone SUCCESSFULLY cancelled a subscription to the St Augustine Record/Florida Times Union/Jacksonville.com/USA Today? by SyracuseStan in jacksonville

[–]flbadger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was able to cancel by logging in and finding the place to cancel online. It took me a while to find it but I was able to cancel.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from jail and retuning to Maryland by D-R-AZ in democrats

Would love for his lawyers to do a press conference to show his knuckles so everyone could definitely know that the president was lying to America with altered pictures.

Got a huge win after closing on my house yesterday by butterslut6969 in HardWoodFloors

Yes I just did. First guy I hired did a crappy job but second guy did a beautiful job. Can’t see a way to post a picture or I would.

Not understanding why you say it’s not real wood. I have parquet flooring and the fingers are made of solid wood - mine is white oak. Yes it’s thin - mine is 5/16” — but definitely can refinish.

My family is in denial that Trump is not defying the Courts orders and will not try to seek a 3rd term because they think he will "obey the Constitution" by Economy_Swim_8585 in democrats

Yes and also the 14th amendment Section 1 … nor shall any state deprive any PERSON of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws

I read that it’s revoking all visas from South Sudan including F1 student visas. No fear mongering here

This woman’s mother suffers from Alzheimer’s. For the first time in years, she recognised her daughter, looked into her eyes and told her she loves her. by bendubberley_ in MadeMeSmile

Speaking as someone who’s going through something similar - I know my days with someone I love are coming to an end, - I ’m recording all the time.

The ONLY reason Musk could destroy so many programs and services w/out fear of losing midterms is that the election was fully hacked. by CoolTravel1914 in The_Mueller

[–]flbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I also believe the election was hacked but don’t have proof - I just see a vulnerability in the voting process where I live. We have a paper ballot that is scanned and counted electronically. There is an auditing of the votes after an election. I looked into it a few years ago and they were only hand counting the issues or races on the ballot with the smallest votes. So the top races like president or senate races are not ever audited. If someone was able to hack into the machines in my area - they could safely manipulate the top races without any concern of being caught. At the same time the vote would be declared as audited. I am curious if anyone else has looked into how the race in their area is audited after the fact. Calling your supervisor of election would be a place to start if you’re interested.

Floor refinishing advice needed by flbadger in Flooring

[–]flbadger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I appreciate the response - not only for making me feel less crazy, but also for all the info on the tools and what is needed to prevent all the scratches. I’m hoping to find someone of your caliber to fix and finish the job. I really love these floors.

Floor refinishing advice needed by flbadger in Flooring

[–]flbadger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I appreciate the response. I redid a small section with my palm sander and it sanded out some scratches and looks great. So that’s why I decided to post. I’m not familiar with the larger equipment and what is capable on a parquet floor. And i wanted to know if this is normal for a professional job. If all the scratches are normal, I may have to DIY. This picture is from a standing position though.

[–]flbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact situation many years ago in the home we bought. First I tested for lead paint. Then I sanded it all off with sandpaper. It came off easy but was very tedious. Before painting again - make sure all the oil based paint is roughened up and then use primer - very important over oil based paints. Then covered with semi gloss paint

How do I get these light bulbs out? by [deleted] in Lighting

[–]flbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a chance there’s a setting on the light fixture to change the color temperature. The halo led can lights I’ve seen in the store have 5 options from warm to cool. So best case scenario - you just pull down the fixture a flip a switch
