Agreed, which probably means they were on it because of stuff like documented previous flooding (like when it flooded in the fuckin’ 80s and girls died) and that makes it all the more egregious that they worked to get themselves off of it. The camp owner is starting to seem less like a hero and more like someone feeling fully warranted shame and fearing divine judgment.
And in particular, this product is a vanity computerized exhaust that almost certainly has at least one setting that violates Singapore’s new noise restrictions, and possibly the emissions standards.
While even 6 days of actual jail for three motorcycles (and maybe that’s all they could prove?) hits me as a little harsh, it also seems like the sort of thing Singaporeans have always dealt with for offenses that affect the QoL for other people. Not saying it was “justice” per se, but this is not the hill to die on, and it seems this guy fucked around and then found out.
We have a hose from the “Flexzilla” brand. I’m not sure if it was any amazing deal or anything, and we haven’t used it heavily I guess, but it has lasted four seasons with only sun-bleaching to show. Traditional garden hoses never lasted that long for us.
At this point the only way to realistically get that squeeze is to create more districts that are “very safe” versus “locked in,” and at least some Republicans will push back to save their own skin. Texas won’t need to go blue for this to backfire or at least be of minimal impact.
This is as close as I get to optimism about state politics though.
In case you wanted to know, he’s a former executive for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans.
We lost our older guy a couple of weeks ago, and he hated them, as did our three other dogs over the last twenty years. The younger one and the new puppy didn’t seem to care that much, only getting a little jittery when we were outside and a particularly loud one went off.
Sorry, I’ve just seen this one often enough and seen the comments that I may have assumed too much. I’ll take my downvotes.
Yeah, yeah, stupid fat maga, whatever. Looks like they’ve both got a pretty big batch of laundry, and looking at the totality of the picture these are not likely to be wealthy people, and it being rural/suburban America, lord knows how far the laundromat is. This strikes me as unironically clever, and they’re both keeping that mower deck out of the landfill and travelling using electric power.
Looks like Teenjus to me.

Lawyer, engineer, or consultant? LOL, are you McKinsey advising Warner/Discovery?!?!?
…and Florida, and Jamaica, and Mexico, and (I presume) Spain. There is no corner of the earth in which the English will not challenge the mighty Helios until they are as red as the cross of St. George.
What are we going to do tonight, Brain?!
Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Little one can be Tails and play coop.
We have a president who issues fascistic edicts from the toilet and then phrases them like a Karen in her first term on her HOA or Condo board.
As someone who grew up in the exact window of dysfunction that makes the movie relatable but not triggering, I agree.
Reception is a little fuzzy.
When the lie is so big that even Bondi won’t tell it, you have to bust out ol Don Junior. What a bunch of assholes.
American here. Assuming we muddle through the next 3.5 years (a fairly big assumption, I admit), I think things will get better, but in a qualified way. The tension will dip and you can even make short term changes that will be welcome to everybody like easing border restrictions and increasing communication and cooperation, but it’s going to take literally generations of non-crazy American administrations to rebuild the trust to where it was, and that’s 100% fair.
Large infrastructure projects are going to get delayed or shelved, treaties will not be negotiated, money will be spent on duplicating efforts because the US may be a better or worse partner in future administrations, so we’re no longer a reliable partner in any way. All because half the country thinks you should never have to deal with anything you don’t immediately understand and approve of, and anything that’s mildly unpleasant in your life is the fault of people who don’t look or speak or pray like you.
Even this can use some aditional context. SCOTUS took away a tool, nationwide injunctions, that judges were using to pause executive actions by presidents in both parties. They said that a class action was more appropriate, and a District Court judge has already certified a class for people affected by the birthright citizenship EO, and its accompanying injunction should go into effect by the end of the week.
This SCOTUS has been insanely cowardly in not taking on this stuff head-on, but I do tend to think that that other than Thomas and Alito, they think much of this shit is unconstitutional, so they’re intentionally slow-playing it with narrow rulings, hoping the mid-terms and public opinion will save them from having to piss off Papa Trump and the MAGAs. It’s disgraceful because it’s hurting the country and real people, but hopefully it’s not unfixable in a structural sense.
