It is. it’s a bit different in context though.

but the OC was trying to paint China as being innocent victims. which they are far from.

well, it’s, uh, still in space, so it’s doing well. Can you imagine if it stopped being, in, uh, space? that’d be problematic.

Pete Arredondo, the former chief of the school district police in Uvalde, Texas, has been indicted and arrested over his actions during the police response to the 2022 school shooting in which a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, the Uvalde County sheriff said on Thursday.

“Mr. Arredondo is currently in our custody,” the sheriff, Ruben Nolasco, said in a text message, adding that Mr. Arredondo was being held on the charge of “abandoning/endangering of a child.”

Good. Fuckwit deserves it. (also: archive link for people getting hit by paywall)

Those dogs look so proud of themselves. i suspect they got the good scritches.

Is it even a word salad anymore, if the syllable-strings have lost all meaning?

Because they’d send them there… to save a buck.

Or rather a whole lot of bucks.

It’s hilarious to me that you neglect to mention that the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing the vehicles specifically to undermine other automakers.

Not that the US are the good guys here, but this is just more of the trade war crap between China and basically everyone else.

The MPR racoon was aspirational.

I mean, why do you need a friend-cop?

Just a one night stand will do.

I would suggest 3/10 share their extremists ideology. (Well, the ideology of the majority,)

Iirc, the hole does 2 things. The first is it acts like a sound hole in a guitar or violin and alters the tonal qualities of the speaker (the enclosure acts like a resonate chamber.)

Also, iirc, drivers have to work harder to move the membrane of the enclosure is totally sealed, since it’d have to compress the air inside/behind the membrane.

Of course, cheap speakers probably did it because they saw JBL and others do it on the expensive studio monitors.

As for spiders…. I think they’re cool, but only if they stay over …. There…. Jumping spiders can even be cute. But at a distance.

Same goes for the centipede with the creepy legs. I respect that they eat things I’m happy not deal with… just don’t come over here.

Honestly, spiders are pretty cool roommates.

I mean? They respect boundaries, they’re fairly clean and tidy, they help deal with pests. And they’re quiet.

You just know some weirdo millionaire is gonna try and train them to go eat heavy metal and shit someplace useful.

And I’m not even mad, probably the most environmentally friendly mining operation…

I put “collapses in a demonic fit and begins chewing on biden’s pant legs” on my bingo card.

Just in case.

Hey! They didn’t say anything about sabers!

Excellent. Excellent.

Yes. It he also said he was confronted by a locked door he thought was normally not locked, which kinda made him look an idiot.

He probably would have had it play better if he just came out and said why he did it

(Although, I’ve seen it happen enough times as a security guard. Fire pulls shouldn’t be immediately next to a door- those should be emergency releases. But those shouldn’t be on the locked side of the door, and fire code would suggest an ability to always get out is kinda sorta important.)

Remember highest tipper gets to control the Domi.

Wait. I shouldn’t make that joke- sex work is way more honest.
