To be fair, I had a LOT of anger issues that got me in trouble a few times?
But the asshole got in a lot of trouble for threatening me, while I got counseled to chill out a bit.
I had an asshole threaten me, saying, "I'll find you out in town."
I got right up in his face, screaming, "DON'T THREATEN ME IN TOWN FUCKER, YOU WANNA GO, WE GO RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Outside of the berthing, where the whole ship could hear me, from the chief's mess to Officer's Country.

Eeyup.
I took back my like and undid my reskeet for that. I went into the site, and ALL of their art is AI generated.
That leads me to suspect that the articles themselves are generated by AI.
Sorry, Paula. Not your fault we live in a capitalist hell.
Hah!
I see you're a fan of Habitual Linecrosser as well?

Let's be real here.
This is Iran. They are GOING to blame us or Israel, one way or another. It's either going to be the Jewish Space Lasers or HAARP, but they're going to pin it on us.
I'm just praying they don't find anything plausible.
I know, I know. Poor, dumbshit pilot was probably too scared to say no to the dick tater, but I still reiterate, PLEASE don't let us or Israel somehow be involved.
I mean, they're going to blame both of us ANYWAY, but I pray they don't have proof.
Arson is very easy.
Arson without losing your eyebrows?
Not so easy.
Yes, fine, understood, got it, just please, for the love of God PLEASE don't let this be some fuckery by the US or Israel.
Internal fuckery, fine. Great. Awesome. More power to em'.
I just don't want this to be another Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

Rescuers are searching for the helicopter that was carrying the president of Iran
The state-run IRNA media outlet reported that the aircraft carrying President Ebrahim Raisi and other senior officials went down as the president returned from an event on the border with Azerbaijan.

Yup.
Yer goin to Hell for this.
Ah, fuck it.

Move over.
I remember bootlegging my sister's LP onto a cassette.
I put it in the tape deck on my car, it buzzed, and then SPAT THE TAPE into the back seat.
The only thing missing was a *PATOOIE!* sound.
Yeeeesss, and the sorts of people who showed up was...mm...let's go with "interesting." That's a good word.
I rather prefer having a bit more discretion and selectivity.
No, not yet. I prefer it chilled. The only things I like hot are coffee, tea, cocoa and fresh cider.
Cop: *This guy will absolutely shoot me if I do something stupid. Let's go get coffee instead.*

Trump says he's taking hydroxychloroquine to avoid Covid-19. The malaria drug is touted by right wing "influencers" even as studies show it doesn't help and may hurt the heart. "I've heard a lot of good stories," Trump says.
In 2024, it is estimated 17,000 people died from hydroxychloroquine misuse.
Trump says he’s taking unproven drug hydroxychloroquine to prevent coronavirus
The antimalarial drug is unproven as a treatment for the coronavirus, and the FDA has warned against its use outside hospital settings.

I'm not a fan of dry meads? If I want something dry, I'll go with white wine. Consequently, my go to mead is Chaucer's. They stopped making it for a few years, but now it's back.
Chaucer's seems to be that just right blend of sweet and dry for me.
You can tell a lot about a person by these categories:
Eggs: scrambled, omelet, fried, soft boiled in half an avocado
Steak: medium rare, with salt, pepper and paprika before cooking
Milk: 2% these days. It doesn't like me anymore
Alcohol: Wine or mead
Warm Drink: tea, coffee, espresso w h&h.
You can tell a lot about a person by these categories:
Eggs: two-three eggs lightly scrambled.
Steak: Rare and salted before cooking.
Milk: full fat
Alcohol: Vodka. It also makes good pie crust.
Warm Drink: Coffee.
I look once in a while. It pleases me no end to see myself on "hates crypto" and "judgemental over loli/shota".

No, that's a bad idea. Student loans are one of the few things that can't be flushed by bankruptcy.
Use something else to pay it off first, like a credit card, or home equity loan.
THEN file for bankruptcy.
ACAB.
Including sell-out "puppies" that are old enough to shave.
Ah.
Because of course it would be him.
It's kinda like hoping for darjeening, and getting Great Value, lol!
Blargh.
Seasonal is miserable enough, I can't imagine year round.
You have my condolences.
Oof. Infection or allergies?
Mine hate NC pollen. NY pollen is fine, but cross the Mason Dixon line, and I die.
I remember this.
I remember seeing the destruction. The flooding, the mudslides, the pictures, the film on the news.
The people who died.
It's no surprise they killed him.
He was the Original Terrorist, after all?
Ah.
Because of course they were protesting public health measures.
*sigh*
Oh well! At least they proved your point before they died gasping and choking.
Do you mean the one currently playing out in Fresno? 32 people arrested?
They're going to be killed one way or another.
On their knees and begging, or on their feet and fighting.
But as Cowboy pointed out, just displaying your fangs forces them to be respectful, OBVIATING THE NEED for armed revolution.
I keep telling people that they need to take a page from the far right assholes that hold marches while armed.
Nobody EVER arrests them.
the police get mad respectful when a bunch of people show up carrying firearms they don't even realize it cops go from, "Disperse And Stop Resisting" to, "Sir May I Approach And Inspect Your Weapon" hella fast
Again, most military communications systems are really robust. There's also a LOT of redundancy.
If we lost GPS, the biggest effect on comms would be loss of "military internet."
But we still have HF, VHF, UHF, EHF, SHF and ELF, as well as land-line systems.
So not as unstable as you might think.
pretty good accuracy, which is enough to run 90% of things.
So if GPS gets knocked out, we'll lose navigation, shipping, transportation, inventory...
...and high-speed internet.
That means we lose banking and financial systems, which means everyone switches to cash only.
So yeah.
Not fun.

Really Fricking Expensive.
So everyone uses a mixture of electronic timing (good enough), nuclear timing (excellent), and GPS timing (pretty good)
The important thing is that GPS is 100% free, so that bumps it up a few notches. For just $400, you can run GPS timing into your network and get

to have high-speed, they need what's called "timing". If you don't have good timing, you get errors. The more errors, the more repeats, and the more of those, the slower the connection gets.
While the backbone systems all have independent timing devices, like Caesium or Rubidium, those are

Eh. Not really. I was Navy for nine years, and it would be *REALLY* hard to knock out government communications.
No, what would *really* hurt us is if we lost GPS.
Loss of navigation would be bad, but communications infrastructure would be severely impacted. You see, in order for systems

La Pantofola!
Just as effective and deadly as La Chancla!
That last solar flare was X-class, rated at 8.2, and the geomagnetic field of the planet is still a bit wibbly-wobbly.
So it's no surprise that people are going to be a little wibbly-wobbly themselves.

The Rule of Goats comes from @kenwhite.bsky.social
@lastgamerontheleft.bsky.social explains how it applies here: "Yeah, 'I hung it upside down to troll my liberal neighbors' and 'I hung it upside down to say the election was stolen' is kinda suffering from Ken's rule of goats here."
More details on the Alitos vs. the neighbors story, none of which actually explain the upside-down flag
The story of your journey in this world is etched upon your visage.
The self-forged chains of misery these four have burdened themselves with over their lives not only shows in their appearance, it explains their rage and hatred of all things good and pure.

He's a new build inspector that is exposing the outright fraud and abuse by home building companies, and they are making the HUGE mistake of suing him for it.
