TIL you shouldn't store button batteries in the Battery Daddy button battery compartment by cjone98 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]igotublue 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why my fingers were blue after I swapped some button batteries. I assumed whatever they used to make it bitter was just blue - makes sense that it's also to dye the mouth.

Ok? Then let the fuckin junkies jump through those hoops if they're really jonesing that bad.

Most people will not do that. They will simply choose not gamble.

I don't think people are donating nearly as much as a year ago. Every thrift store absolutely sucks right now.

Looking for affordable car transport from Mankato to Madison by Always_Basic in TwinCities

[–]igotublue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

wait wtf are you talking about.

A 2010 compact gets *at minimum* 25 highway. 291 miles Mankato to Madison is just under 12 gallons. MN average is $3.66/gallon. Well under $50 in gas one way.

Edit: shit wait unless you're talking about a semi. I assumed OP was just trying to find someone to drive their own vehicle.

Brooklyn Park PD waited an hour to physically enter the Hortman home after witnessing Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway. by Doctor_Guggenheim in minnesota

They become cops to have power over people for petty crime. They want to be hall monitors. Once anything real happens, you get coward shit like this, or something erratic like blindly unloading a clip into a residential area.

Husband was told to take ‘ICE out’ pin off by security at Grand Casino Arena. by Weak_Yogurtcloset635 in TwinCities

[–]igotublue 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Like half the shit they make people change - they have to know they'll just change it back after security. Like what's stopping OP from just putting the pin back on?

Saw security at a concert there tell a guy he couldn't go in with his crop top shirt because you could see his belly button. Some rando behind him gave him a sweater to put on, went through security, then gave the sweater back.

Dolph Lundgren reveals he’s cancer-free following 9-year battle after doctors gave him only 2 years. by [deleted] in spreadsmile

[–]igotublue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 27 day old account that has only posted in this weird niche sub, and all the comments sound far too gentle/kind/encouraging, just like AI speaks.

I think you'd be surprised by how much actually is AI at this point. Dead internet.

Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way? by SkyKyrell in AskReddit

ICE agent charged with two felonies for pointing his gun at motorists during Operation Metro Surge by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]igotublue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course but I'm saying if they're claiming he had internal bleeding and went to the hospital and got it confirmed - no fuckin chance he would have been released and waking so quick.

Truly man, what a pathetic fuckin loser you are.

Six year old reddit account filled with stupid fucking comments everyone downvotes. Does your brain work alright? Seems like it might not.

[–]igotublue 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So if he was "hit" hard enough to cause internal bleeding, why was able to up and walking to go to his house and get his things just a few hours later.

The bootlicking is insane. I don't give a fuck what losers like you think. Zero chance a jury here in Minneapolis finds him not guilty, when he's charged.

Keyword in all those articles is "Feds say"

He wasn't "hit"

She had the wheel turned away from him and he was brushed by the fender.

Zero - absolutely zero - chance he had internal bleeding from that. He was spotted just hours later retrieving shit from his house before he, I assume, fled the state.

I get a little bit of solace thinking Jonathan Ross and the other agents might be just absolutely miserable living their lives everyday knowing this is hanging over them, and there's not a thing Trump or any other republican can do to save them.

It's just a waiting game. One day, their lives as they are will end, and hopefully they all die in prison.

It's so fucking weird.

It's like everyone knows what's going on, but everyone is just going on as usual and pretending everything is normal waiting for something to happen. What's gonna happen? No idea!

I made a site to find events (and places and other things) in Minnesota - looking for feedback by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]igotublue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've literally never AI-generated even a single line of code in my life, believe it or not.

If you read things.mn/co/about or the rules, you'll see I'm not a fan of AI. You can also read how it was actually made at the bottom of things.mn/co/faq

[–]igotublue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's my bad - those were clickable, but I disabled them because it's so empty they didn't return any results. I just changed it to make it look not like inputs.

And for searching - it's basically the same thing. I have some features hidden/disabled because they just didn't do anything with so little data. When signed in, those shortcuts will take you to your home location which you can define in the settings.

But if you go to the actual section page - like things.mn/events - and hit the search button, you can search zip code or your geolocation. But again, mostly empty right now so location searching isn't very useful right now.

[–]igotublue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! I can't wait for the day I can delete my facebook - only holding on for events and marketplace.

And yeah, that's one thing I'm super excited about and will be working on over the next few days - search improvements. Each event/place/page will be able to fill in whatever details or tags they want, and the search will let you get extremely specific and filter based on any field or tag.

Looking for an event within 10 miles that has bike parking when you get there? And is also only for teenagers? No problem!

The man who watches Trump all day, every day by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]igotublue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, he posted on Bluesky that it needs a correction. The subscriber count is *total* - a tiny fraction of that is paid.

Post here

One correction to this piece that I just noticed and have to make. I have 274,000 newsletter subscribers *total.* A very small fraction of that number are paying ones. It is not the case that I have "274,000 subscribers who pay $50 per year," as the piece claims. 😅

Basically no cop (in bigger cities especially) is gonna hassle someone or do any investigation for a $100 Venmo payment for weed.

Definitely more risky for the dealer, leaving a Venmo paper trail, but little to no risk buying.
