Same. If arrogant bastards were doing donuts in my garden, keeping me up at all hours, throwing their rubbish everywhere, and scaring away my food, I’d start sabotaging them, too.

Orcas have yet to kill anyone on purpose, and this dipshit was likely collateral damage to them, but if they literally start eating people I’d say they deserve it. Team Orca.

Orcas have been attacking and sinking yachts. Apparently, CEO Marcus Hale (crypto bro) was sailing off the coast of Portugal last October when his yacht was attacked by orcas. He drowned. Here’s the only article I can find that’s not a video or twitter post: https://www.bitrue.com/blog/marcus-hale-crypto-ceo-death

I can’t find a more reputable link, so can’t vouch for the veracity of this. The orcas have been revolting for a few years, though.

1000 agents who could have been investigating crimes on behalf of victims. Instead, they were tasked with protecting a perpetrator.

e: also, jesus christ, how much work should it take to investigate and flag one ’innocent’ person’s references? 1,000 agents? How many man-hours is that? The man-hours that could have been spent for victims is one unconscionable thing – but how many man-hours should it take to bury this? That’s staggering. I thought we mostly knew what was in these files, but I’d also think 10 agents would be more than enough. What the fuck are we missing?

Yes, it’s super interesting. The reason the word ‘vaccine’ derives from the Latin ‘vacca’ (cow) was because we observed that people who contracted the cowpox gained some protection from smallpox. We investigated that connection, did a bunch of testing and research (which included early scientists infecting themselves on purpose in some rather gross ways), and developed the theory of vaccines.

The history of early modern medicine is very cool.

No, obviously I don’t think he’s in charge. These files also contain names of others in Congress, and meetings lately have been derailed lately because of this issue. This isn’t currently slowing down their progress.

No, this actually has the potential to cause major rifts in their ranks, which forced them all to focus more on this and less on destroying things. Distraction can work both ways.

Man, I hope he keeps talking about this. He’s losing Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, and Joe Rogan, ffs. Please, I hope nobody takes his phone and reporters keep asking. I want both his pig feet shoved in his mouth daily until he finally just drops.

All this stress must be bad for his heart.

I don’t think he lied about that, either. There’s no way he read even 1 page of an 800 page document with no pictures in it.

He didn’t need to know about that document – it was other people’s brain child – he just parroted their talking points, as he does with nearly everything.

He’s a carnival barker and useful idiot. Let’s just hope he continues to make himself less useful to them.

Good, then I don’t expect us to be ‘family’, since my family would understand that treating me like shit would ruin our relationship.

Soooooo…

Thank you. I’ve only heard ‘generative’ but I’ve not really kept up with the tech until the past few years since it wasn’t much of a thing before that in real life.

You’re very good at explaining things, thanks.

Guys, I fucked up. I have what was a beautiful two-tone colander that looked nice and retro, with a shiny red finish. After some use, there was a very tiny amount of rust showing in places around the rim, and my dumbass self decided to soak it in CLR like I do with anything metal that gets signs of rust. It didn’t occur to me that it would remove the gloss finish from the powder-coated enamel.

Now it looks and feels awful, like it has a dull, pink, rubbery coating instead of the beautiful glossy bright red finish of yore.

Is there a product I can use to polish it back to beauty? It wasn’t cheap and has been discontinued, so I’d like to restore it if possible.

I’ve searched online but my Google-fu isn’t worthy, apparently. Thanks in advance!

 

‘Taco Bell isn't even good’

Yeah I know. Sometimes the raccoon inside of me craves garbage. Leave me & my Crunchwrap alone.

 

You’re lucky – an overhead cubby and 3 drawers. Plenty of places to hide booze.

 
 

It’s just sight gag after sight gag. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did. It’s like a live-action Woody Woodpecker cartoon, which was fine when I was 7, but is shallow and boring now.

Why is everyone raving about it? What am I missing?
