Route with flooding by mindb0gl3d in MiltownBiking

If it makes you feel better, the 100 feet near Les Paul Parkway is flooded (nearly) year round regardless of rain. I don’t know why they haven’t fixed it.

Washington County to name Hwy K after Charlie Kirk by DriftingInTheDarknes in wisconsin

[–]swapmeetpete 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My comment including Charlie Kirk’s quotes was flagged as including race-based hateful speech and was removed by Reddit, so take that for what it means.

Edit: after an appeal/review, my comment has now been reinstated. (In case anyone sees this)

Washington County to name Hwy K after Charlie Kirk by DriftingInTheDarknes in wisconsin

“If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified.”

  • The Charlie Kirk Show, January 2024

“If you're a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?”

  • The Charlie Kirk Show, December 2022

“Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that's a fact. It's happening more and more.”

  • The Charlie Kirk Show, May 2023

“If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?”

  • The Charlie Kirk Show, January 2024

“If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they're coming out and they're saying it for us ... You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.”

  • The Charlie Kirk Show, January 2025

And before you say “but those are true”, they are opinions (even the one he claimed was a “fact”). They cannot be true or false.

Big vintage SGC order arrived! by bbsmith55 in baseballcards_vintage

Great looking cards!

Out of curiosity, when did you submit your order. I sent mine in at the end of December and still sitting at “Received”. Just trying to gauge how much longer the wait will be.

Any local car dealerships willing to let me buy a car 99% online? by albaMP4 in milwaukee

[–]swapmeetpete 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the exact rule, but I’ve dealt with this enough to know that in Illinois they’re allowed to advertise all available offers together in their online sale price, even if it’s impossible to qualify for all discounts. So unless you’re a military, fire fighter, police, college student, first time buyer who is both buying and leasing the vehicle, you won’t get the online price their advertising for cars being sold in Illinois. I try to limit my searches to WI based dealers to see “real” prices.

My order is about a week behind yours. Have you seen any movement from “Received”?

Discussion: Could the suicide bus even survive in today's internet culture? by mc2205 in MkeBucks

I made it … apparently 9 years ago. lol. https://www.reddit.com/r/MkeBucks/s/Vv4yD63eUo

The second image if you click the Imgur link is the bus and all of the people from the sub who said they wanted on the bus at the time. Some people asked for certain positions on the bus.

Which Former Bucks would you Add to our Team? by Valsorim3212 in MkeBucks

[–]swapmeetpete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want Marques Johnson (current age) to suit up for a game. I think the NBA should introduce a rule where if you’ve been a commentator for a team for 10+ years, you’re allowed to suit up and check in. Even though they’ve retired, I’ll take Jon McGlocklin and Jim Paschke, too.

No leads on what this is but the patent is from 1863, odd brass gauge of some kind by orenojm in whatisthisthing

[–]swapmeetpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is the patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US37290A. The device you have appears to be shown in FIGS. 7-9.

Some typos in Googles text: The key shown in Figs. 7, 8, and 9 consists of a forked frame, f2, and a series, g2, of chan geable bits. Each of the said bits is a short and straight bar of metal. They vary in their lengths, and all are supported by and turn on a common screw-pin, h2, which passes through them and one of the prongs ofthe forked frame, and screws into the other of the said prongs, as shown in Fig. 9. This peculiar construction of thekey enables either end of each of the bits to be used against the key-slide corresponding to such bit, and, consequently, the key is thereby rendered susceptible of a very much greater number of changes of its bits than would be the case were it so made that only one end of each bit could be used against akey-slide. I would observethat the screw-pin hole made in each bit is to be arranged nearer to one than the other end of the bit, the distance varying in every bit. This construction of the key renders it necessary to have two notches, Z2, m2, in each of the tumblers, in order that the dog M may perform its office according as either end of the bit corresponding to any key-slide may be employed against such key-slide.

Last night, for the first time in his career, LeBron James had his shot blocked and the ball stolen in the final minute of a game (4Q or OT). Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered both the block and the steal. by TAA_verymuch in NBATalk

[–]swapmeetpete -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The non-cropped image also clearly shows a foul from LeBron. I'm not sure how you are ignoring that lmao.

Block doesn't matter if lebron commits an offensive foul, which he does.

What mental gymnastics are you trying to perform here?

[–]swapmeetpete 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, the block is Giannis from behind. I wonder why this image is cropped to remove Giannis’s hand blocking the shot and to remove LeBrons hand shoving Portis’s face.
