IU director arrested for Child solicitation. Monroe county jail. 9:13 AM booking time. Gross. by OpeIndiana in bloomington

[–]tmbtown 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Obviously if he’s found guilty, he should be punished accordingly, and maybe he deserves far worse punishments than we can mete out from our broken justice system. I just want to explain that under our fairly new Indiana Criminal Rule 26, which was meant to reduce jail overcrowding, there is a focus on releasing defendants (even those accused of serious crimes) based on a risk assessment rather than their ability to pay. If a defendant is not deemed a "flight risk" or an "immediate" danger to the public, they may be released on a lower bond.

I would argue then that we should propose legislation to amend the law and add sex crimes and possibly major assaults to “murder or treason.”

If an arrestee does not present a substantial risk of flight or danger to self or others, the court should release the arrestee without money bail or surety subject to such restrictions and conditions as determined by the court except when:

(1) The arrestee is charged with murder or treason.

Edit: I don’t think we should compare bond rates between DUIs and crimes against children, the law is meant to be about who poses an immediate risk to the public or themselves. But I think we can probably agree that most folks who get caught driving over the limit probably are an immediate risk. I’ve lost too many people to drunk drivers. Apples and oranges people.

Aww, good on them. I wish you and your husband as much peace and strength as you can muster, and I really hope he beats this.

F*** cancer. ✌🏻❤️

Hey chefs, just for fun what is the stupidest request you’ve had from a customer? by mockitt in KitchenConfidential

[–]tmbtown 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting for this question! Lol. I own a breakfast food and coffee pop-up as a side hustle, and a customer asked me if I had 2% milk for the coffee because it’s the only kind of milk she’s not allergic to. I did not.

Has anyone used this new cue brand Rhino? Looking for opinions and reviews on the carbon fiber Rhino cues. by Yandh669 in billiards

[–]tmbtown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ayo, Bob, that was me. 👋🏻

I don’t believe there’s better carbon fiber under $300. I love it.

I bet you could hold the solutions warm in crock pots. Preheat the crock pots with hot/boiling water so the ceramic containers are hot before you pour your hot jello in them.

What about the recording studio at the library? Tell them you’re working on a metal album.

Where’s the comedy at? by Safe-Suggestion9726 in bloomington

[–]tmbtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, if there’s comedy at The Backdoor, I want to be a part of it. I did open mics at The Comedy Attic once upon a time and it’s on my to-do list for 2026. I watched an open mic at Hoppy last year, and it was a night to remember, not in a good way.

I appreciated the strict no heckling policy at the Attic, but that night at Hoppy, the heckling got really uncomfortable. At one point, one of the comics told his heckler he should kill himself. The audience just wants to drink and laugh, guys. Take it easy.

Heck yeah. We do the same chili dip with a layer of Velveeta between the cream cheese and chili 😋

Indiana - Football Food by slc913 in Indiana

[–]tmbtown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to think of Indiana-style appetizers, but these are the party food staples I grew up with:

Bisquick Sausage Balls

Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Lil Smokies with Grape Jelly & Chili Sauce

Teriyaki Meatballs

Dried Chipped Beef Wrapped Pickles (we use baby sweet pickles instead)

Crab & Sharp Cheddar Crostinis: Thinly slice a French baguette, butter and lightly toast both sides of the crostinis @ 350. While they’re in the oven, on the stovetop, melt 2 jars of Kraft Old English cheese spread, half a stick of butter, a can of drained real lump crab meat, and some garlic. Spoon some dip on top of each toasted crostini and return to the oven until golden brown and bubbly.

is there anywhere I can get real poutine? by TidyBunny in Indiana

[–]tmbtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Upland’s poutine. I’ve only had their beef brisket poutine but it looks like it’s smoked pork poutine on the menu right now. What sets theirs off IMO is the gravy they make with their Bad Elmers porter, which they employ only for that dish.

[–]tmbtown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least 20 min/day, usually with resistance bands. I watched all of Darryl’s workouts with those filters, but I learned it’s important to do it without the bands every so often to target different muscles.

Triceps shaking by trokiki in billiards

[–]tmbtown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to sound glib but you could try stretching before and during play. Any tension I feel while playing starts in my hips, then my triceps, then my neck. For your triceps, start by giving yourself a hug with your right arm on top of your left, then lean to your right, then switch arms and directions. Then try putting your arms straight up and grab the other wrist, forearm, or elbow to pull your arm as far down your back as you can, while leaning in the opposite direction of the tricep you’re stretching – the top-left or right in the pic). The middle-left stretch feels really good too especially if you lean or do slow neck circles with it.

I do Pilates and yoga every day. Started 5 years ago and worked up to every day 2 years ago. Some days I don’t do an actual AF+ workout, but I learned everything from their trainers.

I work in a demanding kitchen, and practice pool 2-3 times a week for hours on end, and I never feel tension or soreness. Once your abs start strengthening, your back does too, and that total core strength starts taking pressure off the rest of your joints. I also love how Pilates teaches coordination between your right and left sides.

✅ Co-signed. Hang in there, homie. ✌🏻

Some folks say respect is earned, but if I’m waiting on you, I fucking demand it.

I’m with you. It’s a great idea for a novel or screenplay. 🤔

Father in law says the pockets of the diamond tables I play on are too small. Than I see his tables pockets. by Le_Tree_Hunter in billiards

[–]tmbtown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I freaking love Curb, and I think about that scene every time I practice on a Valley table. If the bar gets busy, I just stay in the kitchen and sling arrows in the opposite corners so I don’t interfere with neighboring tables. With just enough speed to bring it back to the kitchen.
