I just wrote my (suburban) city council about "why the fuck are they still even thinking of deploying these?" on Friday. There are 2 in the city, so far, according to their "transparency portal" and police departments from Texas and North Carolina have access to that data for some reason 🤷‍♂️. 🧵

Chickens getting some percussion practice in. (Sounds on)

Buddy has a dumpster service, grab all the bicycles they people toss, fix them up (or scrap them for parts) and resell them.

Woke up with tinnitus screaming at me and a migraine... No idea why, did one cause the other? Do they both stem from the same root cause? Perhaps with some quiet and my head not pounding I could figure out out, but as it stands it is beyond my current capabilities.

I'm no Pope, but I did grow up like 10 miles (and like 20-30 years) from where the Pope lived as a kid... There are 3 things he wants people from the US to bring: Deep dish pizza Chicago dog Italian beef

Which is weird cause Trump has always had a socialist/communist streak, though it gets lost in policy because he is also an authoritarian bigot and doesn't understand a lick of economics or budgeting. So we just get stupid bigot most of the time that occasionally has the government buy 10% of Intel.

Yeah but what is "fraud"? Just one of those things that people used to be worried about but aren't anyone (like corruption, groceries, or the ozone layer). It's like how Grandpa used to use the N word but we just had to pretend like he didn't because he was "from a different time".

Have helped multiple people fix the "one last thing" they couldn't get working right on their bike... Then I notice one other thing ... And the other thing, and before you know it "their bike" has been "ship of Theseus'd" with the spare parts bin in the garage...

If I put some things heavy on the gas pedal and bailed out of my car, am I committing a crime? What if instead of sometime heavy it was a switch to just open the throttle all the way? What if instead of a single switch it was a micro processor that opened and closed the throttle specifically?

So in MN do the waymos have drivers licenses OR one of the linked exceptions? If not, then "self driving" is "driving with out a licence" send the citation to the company and impound the car. The "there are no laws prohibiting it" is clearly "we don't want to enforce the laws prohibiting it."

It's weird to hear people* say that remote work started with covid, when I was supporting VPN connections (on home 802.11b Wi-Fi) 20+ years ago for 100% remote employees. It's especially weird when it's the bearded suspender IT guy that you 100% know has had remote access since at least '95.

Companies not turning off the money spigot to politicians trying to lower their profits be deporting their customers highlights that this isn't the case. It's just hoping that people who thought Thanos had a point will fall behind them. The same people think oil is an unlimited resource...

Hearing things over cube walls reminds me regularly that my collar is now white, despite my blue collar upbringing... People discussing hiring out annual snow blower maintenance, and how amazing it is that the blower still works great after 14 years........

They also reveal how bad and poorly spelled his "advice" was. Pretty sure 80-90% of the people reading this would offer better advice* (unless this blows up, then I don't know you people, but I'll still go at least 50%).

My dad got written up for calling a coworker a homosapien... Union Rep got involved... Hilarity ensued... Simpler times.

Got my tools, multimeter, etc... Turned the humidifier to on and headed back into the crawlspace to the humidifier ready to test every wire and check for clogs in every pipe/valve... Popped of the cover and... it was working fine. Humidity is up to 38%... 🤷‍♂️

Why does coal need help public relations wise? Did it come out that coal was part of a pedophile ring in the 90's? Did coal try to over throw the government? Did coal say "quiet piggy" to a female reporter? Say you can grab women by the pussy? Let sex traffickers into the country?

So detached from reality that they assume that we aren't paying for healthcare when we are sick (as well as when we are not), and that we get to decide how close a fire hydrant is to our house... Maybe we could also just "be responsible" and forcibly vaccinate every one we come into contact with?

Whole house humidifier isn't working. Valve isn't opening so no water... Checked for power at the thermostat, and the good news is there was 24v between the humidifier wire and the common wire when it should have been on, the bad news is my probes slipped and I blew the fuse in the furnace.

Still waiting to hear what's happening to the tunnel under the rail road tracks at fridley station when the north star line shuts down... It should have just been an always open pedestrian tunnel from the get go, but with no station what happens to the tunnel?

It's AI slop in ad form... The longer you look the worse it gets.

Changing lanes before making a right turn? People on the road with me lately just turn right from whatever lane they happen to be in... At least until the snow flies then they'll deny that there were ever things called "lanes".

Can someone from the media ask what is to stop "the people" from spending that healthcare money on lobster dinners or fentanyl, seems like he is remaking the "wasteful SNAP program" he opposes so strongly for healthcare. Why not just pay healthcare bills directly to the healthcare providers?

I bet you could twist this into single payer with out trunk knowing. It'd be convoluted, but a "healthcare rebate" where you can get all your healthcare spending back when you file your taxes (can't be single payer at point of service cause communism) predatory loans until then you file your taxes.

If trump's truth social was hacked and started posting things that go directly against everything trunk previously said, would anyone ever know it was hacked? I suspect trump would read the print out of his "truth" and just accept that is his position now.

Cameras and auto door moved over from their old coop Ramp still needs some work, but that's a problem for another day (they are all still young and absolutely about to jump up there) Chickens moved in and are a little confused but seem to be enjoying the extra space.

Remember when pedophiles used to rule over New York from their pent houses? The New York Times remembers.

New chicken coop progress. 5 chickens have been in a coop sized for 3-4 chickens... This one is sized for 10+ chickens, and perhaps most importantly has pavers to prevent raccoons from tunneling in. Also fancy rollaway nesting box...

"It's like comparing apples and oranges!" Megan Kelley: "So your saying there is a difference between apples and oranges, which one do you want to fuck?" GOP apologists see the world not in shades of gray, or even black and white, but in "I'd hit that." and "I wouldn't hit that."

The question is probably only good one or maybe two times, what needs to happen here is expanding the speculation... For instance, if/when trunk denied the fellatio then it's time to start asking about cigars and what orifices they might have been placed in.

Work gave us yeti brand tumblers for our re-return to the office... I made tea in it this morning (ironically using one of my work from home days), it's still to hot to drink, it's been 2 hours... Why would people choose to live like this?

I know someone very close to that pedophile ring ... And I'm still speaking with them ... But no one is a pedophile unless the kid is 8... * I mean 5. Seems like maybe you shouldn't know people close to the pedo ring. *What came through the ear piece to make this change?

**pushes bridge of glasses up nose with one finger** WELL ACTUALLY-

Remember when boomers were so happy that the stupid things they did in their youth weren't captured forever on the internet? Hugs,

Turns out "If you love babies so much, why don't you have sex with them?" was not the right thing to say to planned parenthood protestors...

So this is obviously terrible as a progressive... But the GOP base should read that the GOP wants to collect your dead babies as medical waste... Seems dehumanizing for the fetus that the GOP base desperately wants to humanize? But it punishes women, so I guess they are ok with it? Fuck them kids.

At last, our long national nightmare returns to it's regularly scheduled programming.

But is Bob Dole implicated! Because of he is then it cancels out, one of the Democrat's "beloved" nominees for one of the GOP's "beloved" nominees.

One of the best arguments for unprotected bicycle lanes is that they can be maintained with the main road, one street sweeper, one plow, heck one truck dumping pavement and one steam roller. Makes the whole thing cheaper (cost of some paint). But then they don't maintain them...

Trump only made it 30 minutes at McDonald's...

Every four years we hear about how pigs need to be raised in cages because Iowa has economic interest in treating pigs poorly, for the pork industry... The hemp industry is 7-8 years old in the US, and is 50% the economic value of the pork industry.

I don't know how the democrats strategy plays out. But I do remember that 3-4 months ago we were all bitching about them finally growing a spine, but only about ACA subsidies (when people are literally being taken from the streets, and the concentration camps & corruption are still up and running.)

To be fair, this is the government I expect when the democrats try to govern. GOP governance is just nazism, and dems bring endless squable among them selves (was looking forward to the GOP sqaubling among themselves but seems like the democrats had to step in and protect their turf.)

Trunk claims stimulus to prop up his failing economy is actually generosity, again. He really is speed running this second term, took him 3+ years to get to this point last time.

Should be interesting to see conservative relatives on Facebook that demand forced group prayer in schools defending an outright ban on prayer from the GOP... After all three Democrats would kill God, but the GOP is blowing up boats from Christian majority countries, and banning prayer in the US.

I see the foot pegs, I see the back rest, I see the handle bars (and I'm confused what the lever on the left handle bar is for (if it is electric why a clutch?)) I've no idea how someone might sit on it. How many times will they try to give us the NM4 again?

Do you think they'll have another "no more fatties" press conference to get the word out that women who won't be able to afford lawyers after a sexual assault that they to can be thin (and sexually desirable to the rapists in the administration)?

That's a weird looking picture of Ted Cruz masturbating to Russian military recruiting ads. "Soy boy" used to the the term for "communist hunks" but I guess when soy is the only reasonable priced food, us "soy boys" end up looking well fed, fit, and wealthy compared to "red meat real americans™"
