Dude, this reminds me of how our teacher used "We didn't start the fire" to cram for the AP U.S. history test. (I should mention, I am a millennial, and the same song would not be useful today).

Wasn't sure! The background looks like a lot of HAM shacks that I've seen! Just got my tech license a couple weeks ago.

Question: Are you a HAM (radio) operator?

Also the movie with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx is 20 this year. FYI

It's good. But it doesn't hold a candle to the Nandos ad: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls1V...

Losing Gorbachev? a tragedy. Losing Pizza Hut? A start

Here's hoping he's getting a felony!

Layla is good with head scratches and chin scratches (from me, she's a one purrson cat). If she rolls over on her back, appearing to want belly rubs, that's a trap. She's cuddly but on her schedule.

"Press" because the more accurate message of "I kill" might be off-putting (at least that's what my princess of darkness' energy is).

I hope there's whiskey as well as tequila on the drink menu. If memory serves, Saddam was a whiskey drinker.

I'll go one further and say it doesn't even justify breaking his rib, to say nothing of killing him.

Also, him breaking their tail light does not justify them breaking his ribs.

I love the boss, but strictly musically speaking, this song could use some help from the E Street Band!

You may think that, but you're incorrect in this case. I am a man driven by facts. I'm an OSINTer, and I try not to let emotions make my judgments for me. My politics are mine, and from what I see, the shooting looks tough to justify.

Hey now! I was just laying out the facts of MN (where I lived for 20 years), rather than the rest of the U.S., not to suggest whether the shooting was or was not justified. Having seen the video, it's at least as bad as the Renee Good shooting, arguably worse.

I never said it was, just added some nuance.

In MN, a carry permit is required, but that may or may not be a factor here.

I recall there's a concept called escalate to de-escalate. Does this apply here?

I remember back when the road to Jerusalem went through the cement factory, IYKYK.

Or transmitted it on the 40-meter band with only a Technician license (I'm studying for my Ham exam, it just came to mind).

Had he not gone into politics, he'd be great for casting in a live-action Metal Gear Solid movie.

@dankaszeta.bsky.social I've been hearing a lot of folks ask about proper PPE for CS gas, given the ongoing issues in MN are commercial masks and P100 filters up to the task, or does it require more specialized PPE?

I would also add, and I don't see Greg Bovino walking around with a parrot on his shoulder.
