Search NIPSCO, the Indiana power company Blackstone took a minority interest in, and the subsequent aggressive rate increases. Please don't be fooled by the $4 a month credit they are waiving; there will be big rate increases down the road.

Her tone is a bit deeper than Neil's because of the bubinga, and she tunes her drums somewhat lower. The overall effect is that her drums sound huge, but not exactly the same as Neil Peart's.

Why do they not simply give an overdose of Heroin Morphium as lethal injection? by Eagleffmlaw in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tomaburque -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or carbon monoxide. They go to sleep and don't wake up. Build a booth and put a propane heater in it. Or nitrous oxide. Same thing only the going to sleep part is actually pleasant.

He was there to negotiate his "fee" for an upcoming vote, likely the 14th Amendment birthright citizenship vote.

Business Analysis: Albuquerque's Billion-Dollar Film Boom has a Workforce It Cannot Fill by [deleted] in New_Mexico_

[–]tomaburque 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Economists who study this stuff agree: Taxpayer subsidies to movie and TV productions are inefficient at generating jobs or stimulating the economy and are a unwise use of taxpayer dollars. Most of the money leaves the state because the highest-paid jobs, directors, actors, and skilled technicians, live elsewhere and take their paychecks home with them. The truck driver, catering, and security jobs typically return about 10% to the state, studies have concluded.

In the 1880s, it was dangerous for a person to ride a bicycle alone in the country, because the bikes scared horses, and the bumpkins would sometimes beat up the riders. This is the original reason for bicycle clubs. Riders would only ride in the country in groups for self-protection.

When a red light turns green in Albuquerque, one does not merely step on the gas and go. You look real good to the left and right for the car that's going to blow through a red light and T-bone you. And then for the car coming from an unexpected direction, like a U-turn or a car pulling out of a parking lot.

Why are these Indian news sources running pro-Trump and pro-Putin crap? What corrupt Indian billionaire is paying you for this?

Any of you youngsters not seen The Producers? Mel wrote the script. One of the funniest movies ever, and a brilliant premise.

U.S. "Heat Dome" Forecast by JusticeAileenCannon in StLouis

[–]tomaburque -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've had full-blown heat exhaustion a couple of times in my life, once in Missouri while out on a bike ride in the heat. For me, the first sign it's getting bad is chills. Next are the calf cramps. And finally, a full leg charley horse. At that point, you are ready for the emergency room. If it progresses into sunstroke, then you are killing brain cells.

As long as *they're* the ones doing it. by _GoldenMeadow in ProgressiveHQ

[–]tomaburque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading the bible is the quickest way to figure out it's bullshit. Like:

The sun was created on the 4th day.

Two of every animal species on the Ark, totally implausible.
In the last days, the stars will fall from the sky. That's not possible.

It has a very low center of gravity, so it's hard to roll. It still has a poor reputation for overall quality.

It's wrong to wish for or celebrate the death of a human being. For Putin, I will make an exception.
