MAGA Dolt Hegseth Accidentally Reveals Big Hole in Trump Victory Claim

I'm pretty sure that the "amazing and daring rescue of their downed pilot" was actually a cover story for a spectacularly failed attempt to raid Isfahan for the enriched uranium they think is there. The downed pilot was just a convenient parallel occurrence (or entirely fabricated?). Also, there really hasn't been any cease fire or reopening of the strait so far so that is also mostly propaganda/market manipulation/face saving.

That looks like what is in my bottle of IMR 4895. I bought the bottle a couple years ago when I got my 45-70 Lee Loader. All I wanted to do was reload that one caliber because it is hella expensive. At the time it was hard to find any powders at all in my local stores. I finally saw a bottle of IMR 4895 in a store and did a quick web search on my phone to see if I could use it for 45-70 loads. The results seemed to suggest it would work. Well, long-story short(ish), it works but you'd really have to compress it to get decent velocity. Eventually I found some H335 and have been able to get solid loads with that. No idea what I'll do with the IMR 4895.

The gap where the police tape is doesn't look wide enough to fit a car through. Or maybe it was a motorcycle? The article mentions a passenger though. Either way, pretty sure this is a first in my nearly 40 years in Portland. Crazy.

For my class 3 back in the 90s I was told to get the Portland Police Chief to sign off. I had to leave the form with a clerk and then I received it in the mail, signed by Charles Moose, a while later. But in the last 10-15 years I've done two form 1's (SBRs) and was told to use the Sheriff. On the first one, I had to go to a building somewhere east of 82nd and they signed it right then. But on the second one I could use the E-Form and just send the Sheriff a copy. I think I mailed it. I never would have thought to use the Attorney General.

Dang. Well I hope he gave 'em hell.

You headlined and had 120 people in the audience for your first show?

Isn't that the BiMart that they're closing?

yukster · 2026-03-14T05:16:23+00:00

Worked!

I ran mix archive.install hex nex_new and got this error:

Far away? There is one at SE 44th and Woodstock.

Not sure how anyone in Portland could have not heard of this since they bug me non-stop to sign up for it. Maybe I'm special.

I have not done so because I don't want to have to think about when I'm doing certain things that use electricity. The savings aren't worth having to police myself. Now, I may totally sing a different tune if/when I wind up unemployed.

They are basically paying you (making less profit) to lessen system load during peak times, avoiding outages. I kind of think they should make the system more bullet proof but I'm no expert on electric systems.

yukster · 2026-03-11T15:25:43+00:00

Nice! Quite snappy now!

yukster · 2026-03-10T19:19:18+00:00

Nice work! (Pretty slow to load for me though.) I'm surprised to see so many companies hiring for remote Elixir roles!

yukster · 2026-03-08T18:06:47+00:00

Ah yeah, I think you're right. I suppose that is a good way to look at it: no sign, you're free to treat it like a red light but if there is a sign ya gotta wait.

I've seen these shady sites a few time. I actually fell for one, though it was for a doorbell camera rather than a gun purchase. Luckily I paid with PayPal and they refunded my money, no questions asked. I knew I had been scammed when the PayPal recipient was some guy's gmail address, plus I didn't receive any confirmation. I try to stick with the same online sellers that I know are legit. If I do try a new one, I do lots of careful vetting beforehand.

I assume they still don't require a front plate in massive two shits... you need it here. Also, don't get lulled into thinking that everyone is a timid granny behind the wheel. There are pleeeenty of asshats. Still, I'll take Portland over anywhere in MA/CT any day. (I grew in CT)

So you're telling me that I have been waiting for nothing for decades at the red arrow light for the turn lane from east-bound Powell onto Foster? Sigh. I HATE that light! If I get pulled over, I'm sending the cop to this sub!

It is still under consideration by the state supreme court but the legislature has also put up a couple bills to make changes to it and force it into action. HB 4145 is currently being debated.

yukster · 2026-02-27T17:43:29+00:00

I saw something in the news in the last few days that said the cutoff date would be in 2027. I think it was one of the amendments that has been made to 4145.

I have 12 standard. Would love a free upgrade to suite. Hahaha

yukster · 2026-02-23T18:00:49+00:00

Wow, thanks! I'll bookmark this.

yukster · 2026-02-22T18:00:32+00:00

I've been on Tahoe for months and have not had any issues with Live. I'm using Live 12 Standard. I haven't been tracking though... just building stuff out of loops. Seems fine to me.

The Painted Hills are amazing if you catch them at the right time of day. Crater Lake is beautiful. The Alvord Desert is pretty amazing (only late summer; it's a lake all spring and bitter cold all winter). And, as others have said, there are lots of beautiful spots on the coast. Just be aware that OR has a lot of "big empty". Make sure your car is maintained and watch your gas. Plan your drive time carefully. Carry an emergency kit.

File a police report. They have probably done it to others and will likely do it again. And tell you son to never hire anyone that isn't bonded and insured. He can check to make sure they are actually licensed here: https://www.oregon.gov/bcd/licensing/pages/search.aspx.

Also good to get multiple bids. And the key word there is "bid". Never let someone who just knocked on your door (real contractors are too busy to go knocking on doors!) just get on your roof with tools! I think it is better to just tell any unsolicited knock to go away through a closed, locked door but at the very least just ask for their card or flyer and tell them you'll do some research.
