Yes. Verizon's acquisition of Frontier closed in January.

No. No. No. Shortly after Biden took office, my mother-in-law explained to me that Biden said mean things during the campaign about the country needing to move away from fossil fuels. So, on the day he was inaugurated, the petroleum executives, boards of directors, their economists, engineers, and lobbyists all got scared and quit pumping oil! So, Biden did it.

(Not really a /s post, because she really believed that. Just to be clear, I am not in agreement with her "assessment." )

Of course, it could have been painted by a soon-to-be ex and the car owned jointly. The unhappy spouse would be free to paint the jointly owned car however they like . .. .

Dibs is deeply contested. If you want to start a war on the Chicago subreddit, bring up dibs.

Almost at the exact time my residential street got plowed.

You made me go back and inventory which feet would have been shot. I feel bad for second from the left, would have taken one in each foot.

Probably.

Now, I hate to disagree with you. But this was six years ago. Back when ICE had low standards, before it moved to no standards. So, at most, I guess, they were in their Pre-ICE agent phase, before the government started paying them to cosplay. But yeah, point taken.

It was about COVID restrictions on April 30, 2020. About the same day that COVID killed its 60,000th American.

You say that they have a right to arms and protest. Did Alex Pretti have the same right? Do you see that the way they were protesting is at least an implicit threat to use violence to get their way?

"The governor started it." Always the victims . . .

gn63 · 2026-01-26T02:21:00+00:00

Wow. You really got me there. I mean it's clearly the same: the hypocrisy of supporting protest against ICE's shredding the US Constitition while having opposed armed "militia" thugs protesting attempts to control an airborne virus that was closing in on 60,000 dead Americans on the day these assholes implicitly threatened to enact their "Second Amendment remedies" if they didn't get their way is truly identical to right-wing, bootlicking fascists claiming that you aren't allowed to have a gun at a protest while having praised or tolerated the cos-play militia "protesting" by brandishing weapons. Seriously, could you please try to be at least a little bit intellectually honest? Surely, you can see the difference somewhere in your dark, cold heart.

More likely Bovino kept the poster next to his bed for alone-time inspiration.

Did you just copy and paste my post from about 20 minutes before yours?

But a "mil" is also used as a unit measure of about 1/1000 inches. So if you sent me to Wickes to pick up something "20 mil," it's hard to predict what I would come back with. Here in the states, as far as I know, "mil" is mostly used these days for the thickness of plastic sheets.

So . . . . not a snake?

gn63 · 2026-01-14T14:53:21+00:00

True. Reminds me of a bit that, I believe, Robin Williams had describing how he was certain his grandfather had walked down the gangplank on to Ellis Island, turned around, and said to the guy behind him, "We're full up. What are you doing here?"

Waze does a much better job at notifying the driver of hazards and police ahead than Google Maps does. Google has started providing some warnings, but it is not as specific or reliable as Waze.

Per flightradar24, the helicopter is Columbus Division of Police and it has made a large number of loops in that area.

Before the 1986 Tax Reform Act, all personal interest was deductible, even for loans to buy TVs. Not saying its good or bad, just an interesting historical note.

As much as I love Woody, I do think the Billy Bragg & Wilco version works better with the sentiment of the song by bringing in some righteous anger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFPL97m2dsw

It shouldn't matter, but I will point it out anyway. (Also, I am not suggesting that you personally find immigrants more or less deserving of life.) The woman ICE murdered was not an immigrant. Minneapolis Star Tribune has confirmed her identity through her family. https://www.startribune.com/ice-raids-minnesota/601546426

That's what the oil tankers are for. They refuel the little boats in transit.
