The US government now uses it to charge people indiscriminately. I see the term in my local headlines once a month, at least, where someone gets tagged with this BS charge.

As one person said I used to think ‘dear God they must have a nuke in the basement’ but anymore you find out the person just had a sawed off shotgun or possibly the parts for a homemade silencer and a prosecutor got an instant hard on.

Mortal Kombat gave us that sweet sweet soundtrack.

Because what sane person, who upon walking into their home and finding a loved one unconscious (or even worse :dead:) doesn’t reach for their blender.

Amiright, guys??

I believe that cartoon images depicting sex of underage kids is still illegal. At least in the US.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but seems like I remember this from a news article a while back. Maybe it was just a specific state.

I am not going to Google that one though to find out though.

Event Horizon vibes

lol yeah, nothing wrong with standing outside the door or stall necessarily.

Just standing with your nose ‘touching the door’ falls into the area of getting a bit creepy.

We had a new intern with zero social skills at my company a few years ago. He reminded me of a much younger version of Milton from Office Space.

Well, when he would go to the bathroom, either the single occupant ones or even ones that had multiple stalls: If it was occupied he would stand outside the door (or even a stall) like an inch away from it not moving just frozen waiting for the person to leave.

Was the craziest thing anyone had ever seen.

Would be a shame if something bad happened to fuck up that port and made it, unusable. 🤔

Am in NC and we’ve had multiple cases so far this year.

Here is the issue. Last several years we’ve had temperatures on the rise. 2023 was the hottest on record and 2024 is looking to be hotter.

We’ve had more rain as well in my area the last couple years and I am guessing the rest of the eastern seaboard is in the same boat.

I’ve seen numerous news posts, locally asking people to please dump any dog bowls, birdbaths, sources of water, etc weekly you may have in your yard (why you wouldn’t anyway I dunno).

I suspect we are in for a lot more of this in the near future as temperatures continue to rise.

‘The warship’s commander “is a big ‘Star Wars’ fan’

Lmao the commander is a top tier troll. I mean who wouldn’t love to float a giant grey warship down the Thames blasting the Imperial March??

All I can hear is the theme to Jaws

You are correct.

 

Greetings all. I hope this is the appropriate place to post this if not please let me know.

Me and the Mrs. Have a few plants that we are wanting to move indoors this fall that we’re needing more than the usual window light.

We had tried sprouting a few avocados to see what would happen and now have three small trees in pots out near our garden that are growing pretty well. Our porch is not enclosed so the next thought was our garage (it can get too cold outside where we are at).

We were looking at some lighting recommendations. Amazon seems to have almost too much and I was not sure what would be best for the trees when it came to color, etc. I didn’t know if they had to have A LOT of light (I have seen some people say 5 hrs some say 12) and if it mattered as to the type or style of the grow lights.
