Florida. Only reason he’s still alive is his skin color.

Pretty good discussion of this.

If you get the chance to read or listen to “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory” by Tim Alberta, do it, it was super interesting.

The most interesting part of the article

“One of the things that we have done in my office, for the drop boxes across the counties, is make sure that they have fire suppression equipment inside of those drop boxes,” Fontes said during a Zoom call with election officials on Thursday. “Unfortunately, the United States Postal Service doesn’t have that.”

People like that live to 110 on pure spite and meanness. And if you think he’s not gonna run again in 2028, regardless of the outcome in two weeks…

People like that thrive on spite.

For mail in balloting at least in my state you sign the return envelope NOT the ballot itself.

That’s not at all how it works. Micro$oft paid a LOT for those congresscritters, precisely so they DON’T have to pay for it. We do. We always do.

I’d rather see people panic buying toilet paper than ammunition

Username checks out

Also I’m 53 and I forgot what I was replying to while typing it

I have one of those floating around here too, the thing I didn’t care for with that model was that the blade doesn’t stick out very far. The one-handed action is nice tho. The one I carry every day is this one https://a.co/d/29pk73c but it’s not currently available.

Slider style EDC utility knife. Small, lightweight, and because the blades are cheap and easily replaced you can abuse them - cut on concrete, pry stuff, if it breaks the blade, not a big deal.

https://a.co/d/gouJDKV typical example but there’s lots of different ones.

Bonus - these blades are more expensive than most, but still cheap and last a lot longer than standard blades do https://a.co/d/bQj77Qz

Well ship.

Either way the nickname should be “Subway”.

“Did you meet Subway?” “… What?” “You gotta hear this story, dude! Gramma, tell Ricky your story!”

“Did you meet The Subway Murderer? Dude, don’t fuck with her, she runs this cell block.”

They don’t get anything out of calling him, so he doesn’t understand why they’d do it. Someone else told him it’s a nice thing to do and that acknowledging it is helpful to him.

Springfield copycats I bet.

First off, epic joyride. That’s how you end up with a nickname you get to explain when you’re 50.

Second off, we keep saying more people should take public transportation, and I feel this arrest sends a mixed message.

Your pocket bomb doesn’t have any actual bomb in it (unless the Israelis put some there, like the Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies.) They can burn fast, but afaik they don’t explode, just like gunpowder doesn’t explode. It burns very fast. On the other hand, they can produce gas and burst the battery pack, which might be considered an explosion, but I’d argue it’s not actually one.

Which isn’t going to make someone who has it happen in their pocket feel any better.

If I have my physics wrong, please correct me, I’m not a lithium bomb expert :)

I tried the same thing, no luck. It was in 7th grade if I remember correctly - and that was 1984 for me so it’s been a minute. :)

The idea of choosing being served raw should be enough to track it down, and I’ve occasionally searched for it over the years, but…

The short story that sticks with me from junior high, that I have not been able to track down in the last 40 years or so, was if I remember right another lottery style tale. I think it was just the husband and the one chosen was eaten by the rest of the community - the twist was that the eatee got to choose the method of preparation, and in the story, he chose to be served raw. Anyone recall this story? I’d love to track it down.
