Fair point! But you have to be standing right over the fire, huffing the fumes, to catch any smell. Get it rolling and step away.

Got me thinking, the dried version is not nearly as smelly. Harder to produce though.

Vegemite? It’s vegemite isn’t it? Shit should be illegal to feed to dogs.

Facts are now “bad faith”. Is that like “alternative facts”?

Only thing I’ve seen is the school that turned the USSS away thinking they were ICE. (And we still haven’t heard why they were there in the first place, weird in itself.)

Many articles about the Navajo Nation being alarmed about “reports” of ICE sweeping members up. Well FFS, did they or didn’t they?! Not a single article confirming this, just “reports” that “maybe”.

Scanned NPR.com just now. Only 1 item related to immigration: How districts are responding after Trump cleared the way for immigration arrests at schools

Well? Just because a story is plausible and what you expect does not equal reality. Wait a minute? Are you a conservative?

I assume that’s a hygrometer? Any tips on use or what to buy?

Historians will someday point to the Legislative Branch ceding power to the Executive, for decades, as the beginning of the end of America’s empire.

Every Congress, Republican or Democrat, doesn’t matter, has given more and more power to the President since the 60s. Guess they figure they’ll have that power when the seat changes?

FFS, the President can commit the country to war and tell Congress to get bent. It’s stunning.

That’s not what’s happening, yet.

A dozen officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement gathered before dawn Monday in a Maryland parking lot, then fanned out to the Washington suburbs to find their targets: someone wanted in El Salvador for homicide, a person convicted of armed robbery, a migrant found guilty of possessing child sexual abuse material and another with drug and gun convictions. All were in the country illegally.

It’s a little fucking alarming the government knew about such people and hadn’t acted already. WTH?!

some of those arrests result from random ID checks

Not quite. The Biden admin wouldn’t let ICE arrest any illegals they found as a result of a targeted search, as described above. Now they can.

So for now, I’m fine with this. Even the “collaterals” in this case were due for arrest or deportation.

Of those “collaterals,” one had an aggravated theft conviction. Another had already been deported once, and two others had final orders of removal.

Problem being, they’ll run out of legit targets before the electorate runs out of hate. That’s when the concentration camps really get rolling.

Thank you! Has no one else noticed he’s clearly on a leash now?! He not spewing toddler nonsense 20 times a day, hardly speaking in public, all that?

Has no one noticed how much more efficient his government is this time?

The vagina is a wonder of evolution, and only us freaky monkeys could have perfected it. Any direction, any size, don’t matter, it works.

My wife is 1/3rd my size. Where does it go?!

Little long, average width here. Yeah, vagina all day long. Love oral! But that’s not where I want to finish. My fantasies want to, but in the moment? Pussy all day long.

I’ll let Cheech Marin express my wishes.

And is there any finer spot on a woman’s body than the soft, hollow bit between the thigh and vagina? I have to go to bed with my wife now…

Your hair and eyes match, neat. Also, props for not yanking all your eyebrows out, looks strong. Very little to no makeup? I love lots of makeup, but you’ve got the look without.

But yeah, pull in the duck lips. Maybe other girls think it’s cute, not sure guys do.

Whew! Thought I was way off in my thinking. Here in Florida, even the deep woods can get sandy. There’s one solid inch of topsoil, then it’s sand all the way to China.

Good job! Took me forever to get my head around it, only implemented once.

Shit. So that’s where my GenX ass ends up.

Met my first palmetto bug my second night in Florida. Bathroom light was out in my shitty rental, thought it was a bat flapping around.

Word definitions are exactly the sorts of things one would expect an LLM to pick up on.

ChatGPT:

A “tankie” is a term often used to describe a person who is an ardent supporter of authoritarian regimes, particularly those that claim to be socialist or communist. The term originally referred to members of communist parties who supported the Soviet Union’s use of tanks to suppress uprisings, like the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the 1968 Prague Spring. Over time, it’s been used more broadly to refer to people who justify or defend the actions of regimes like the Soviet Union, China under Mao, or North Korea, often in the face of human rights abuses or authoritarian policies.

The label can sometimes be used pejoratively to imply that someone is uncritical of authoritarianism or blindly supportive of these regimes due to ideological alignment, even when those regimes engage in actions that contradict the values they claim to uphold.

“Eddie was doing well. The gunslinger measured just how well by the fact that he was fighting naked. That was hard for a man. Sometimes impossible.”

Do those tires not work well in sand? That’s the #1 reason I’ve been looking for a fat tire electric.

I have a buddy that makes over $100K a year, yet he fixes washers and dryers in his evenings. Get 'em free or near enough, replaces a part or two, sells on FB Marketplace. Dude makes $300-$400 a week.

Most stunning thing to me, there are only 2 versions of most parts, across all domestic manufacturers. He only need 2 widgets to fix widget-issue on any given model.

I rarely buy anything new. Come to my house and I can spend two hours, literally, showing you around and pointing out the stuff I found on the road, got for free, made myself, or got stupid cheap at the thrift. My wife and I often make a day of hitting all the thrift stores in 1 of the 3 surrounding cities.

For example: I just built a kick ass new terrarium. Tank and light fixture from the thrift, painted and wired it myself, had to buy the grow bulbs new. ALL the decorations were found in the woods or on riverbanks, power washed and trimmed to fit. Paid for three of the plants, regretted being that dumb. The purple hearts were found at a gas station, weed eater clippings.

For the substrate, I rolled my own dirt mix, burned my own charcoal, gathered and cleaned the rocks. Hell, even the water bowl is a cut off wine bottle. See the black seedling pot? Found a stack of those in the woods. The seeds were from food we ate. The iguana was the only expensive thing, and I’m working on growing crickets in another terrarium.

Now put all that together out of Pets Mart. LOL, the driftwood pieces alone would be $10-$50 each, $100 for that much aquarium gravel. That’s a $1,000 setup brand new.

LOL, and as to cookware? I have LOADS of cast iron pots and pans. Never bought a piece new. Remember everyone shitting about black plastic kitchenware? All I could think was, people buy that shit? You can get nice steel anything at the thrift for $.25-$1.00.

Until I had to kill some time at a couple of big box stores, I had no idea inflation had gotten so bad. It’s stunning that people buy enough new stuff, and at those prices, to keep stores in business.

Bruh! I was canoeing a swamp today! MUCH LOVE.
