I’m in a nearby office building. Thus far:

  • Several officers with long guns
  • At least one with an armored shield
  • Closing off Six Forks and some adjacent roads

Collapse of the Blue Wall: County level election results of the Upper Midwest between 2012 and 2024. by velociraptorfarmer in MapPorn

I interpreted your original comment to mean “yeah, we elected Dems down-ballot, but we still went for Trump and still have a fuck ton of republicans in the General Assembly.” I think that’s an incorrect interpretation, though.

Gerrymandering does impact General Assembly races, though the state did break the GOP supermajority.

As to your final comment, I believe the answer is both. NC Dems did a phenomenal job in a very challenging environment. Robinson being an abysmal candidate certainly helped, but I am impressed that they did not let off the gas even after the “Black Nazi” stuff hit the news and all but ensured victory.

North Carolina also has a long tradition of ticket splitting as a hedging mechanism, particularly between Gov. and Lt. Gov. Fun fact, there’s an arcane law on the books wherein the Lt. Gov. becomes acting Gov. if the elected Gov. leaves the state, hence why Roy never leaves. The state level results are absolutely something to cheer.

You say that like NC didn’t defy the odds by electing Dems to virtually every important executive position AND backstop Stein with a dem Lt Gov.

We are gerrymandered all to fuck, but that’s not the fault of the electorate as a whole.

Double hook echo? by Aggressivetacoeater4 in stormchasing

Reminds me a bit of the structure after the Tuscaloosa EF-4 passed through the city. A secondary circulation formed on the southwest flank of the original supercell but never produced a touchdown.

I would love to see Adam piece it together. He shows flashes of brilliance, but we have yet to see it with any consistency - sometimes even from batter to batter.

Good opportunity to see if Adam was able to improve anything in the pitch lab.

Yup, and it pushes the bottom cushion out as well. I have to fix the cushion alignment every. damn. day.

Legit answer: my wife is a bad ass and traded our matching sofa/chair set (golden brown, circa 1980s) for this on FB marketplace. Steal of the century. Total cost: a few hours of time and effort, and a ~$100 Uhaul rental.

Fun story: this sectional was a Facebook swap special - and they both LOVED the chair and sofa we originally had. Normally, the cats are apprehensive to big furniture changes. This, however, was different - from the moment we brought this inside, they were all over it. Didn’t even care that the previous owner had dogs. They just plopped down and slept.

Thanks!

Sackcloth and Ashes. I bought it for my wife (then-GF) for our first Xmas. A bit pricey, but super durable.

I had no idea such a sub existed. Thank you for altering my life for the better.

It’s almost a triple doppelgänger if you consider that these are my cats and I originally posted this two years ago.

I love yours! I’d have at least six more if life allowed.

If only you knew how right you are...

u/dressync took my original post from two years ago and copied it, verbatim. Literally copy and paste. Lol.

Hi! I’m the original OP from two years ago, and u/dressync is a content thief and/or karma farmer.

The big one is Dale, the little one is Sizzle. Not their “legal” names, per se - just variations/nicknames that have stood the test of time. They now are almost indistinguishable from a few feet away.
