  • this is probably more for things that people won't bother stealing. I certainly wouldn't be trusting my phone to it.

    I'd also be worried about it getting covered and misplaced/lost. piles of sand look much like another.

    Could be a fun geocaching thingamabob, though.

    Edit: I'd also suggest sticking a silicone o-ring on the lid. you can make them pretty easily using fish tank air-hose tubing. Pump it full of calk. If you want a solid ring, let it cure, then blow it out with an air-blower nozzle on an air compressor. If you want a hollow ring, which for this would be best, I think; blow out the tubing before it sets. then blow it out again. cut the ends on a bias and then glue them with more calk.

    For this, you'd never know when a kid comes running over with a giant pale of water.

  • He wears lifts, which is why he’s always hunched forward slightly, too.

    But yeah, it looks like he “just” stumbled a bit- we’ve all been there.

    Still, gonna mock him for it.

  • more like a playgirl model who once tried out for GQ

  • Doesn’t explain the foodstains.

  • There’s 2 things that annoy me about that. Well. 3.

    The first is that even if his district isn’t filled with suites, they still would put on a suit or best they got for formal affairs and maybe do business casual.

    They certainly would clean their clothes. Most days he looks like a slob with food stains and whatever else.

    The third thing is it’s entirely possible to get suited tailored to your size. And it’s not that expensive, and we know he should be able to afford it on his salary.

  • probably can't. no ferret would willingly be subjected to that.

  • big floppy hats and juggalo make up is on order. (for the make up, widen or narrow the eyes, add dark lines along the jaw that create a false jawline, maybe include dots to mimic more eyes, etc,) Also wear baggy clothing because they're not just using facial recognition. gate recognition as well as other biometrics. wear black or dark clothing.

    also it won't matter if you have your cell phone with you. Either put it in a faraday pouch or leave it behind (maybe consider getting a cheap burner for comms, that you can prepay with cash.). If you go the faraday route, the moment you take it out, it'll start broadcasting.

    For recording... get a camera. a camcorder is one option. Another is a body camera (cheapos start at like 30 bucks on amazon.). Also remember that Video=Evidence, so if you see people about to do something they maybe shouldn't consider turning away, etc, as well as avoiding other protestor's faces. (especially if you push video up on the internet later. Blur those faces out.)

  • no thoughts were harmed in the taking of this photo. there were no thoughts. none. now give the doggo the treat.*

  • I dunno that stop sign would totally defeat the purpose.

    Part of why roundabouts work is that everyone is basically turning right to enter and right again to exit, meaning none of the traffic streams actually cross.

    Stop signs would slow it down, but not by much. At least, not for the smaller things.

    My biggest issue with people here is the frequency they wait for it to be completely clear before going, or the idiots trying to drift around it because, hey, that’s actually fun.

  • Basically. It comes down to habit and some times laziness.

    There are a few times I intentionally don’t use mine, mostly because there’s this one intersection that if you’re turning left, for whatever reason people get into this “no you go first” bullshit that’s hard to read. So I turn it on after they start going.

    Other tkmes, I fail to single entry into a roundabout. All the round abouts here are single lane and it’s pretty obvious you’re gonna enter. Also, they’re small so it becomes easily confused with signaling an exit from The roundabout. I do signal the exit appropriately, though.

    But in MN the 2 things people don’t know how to do is a zipper merge and round abouts. It’s embarrassing, really.

  • They’re technically not being used to do law enforcement or enforce marshal law.

    They’re guarding federal buildings. Which then frees up the federal agents that normally guard them, which isn’t all that many- most fed buildings are guarded by private security. You don’t need a special agent to post up at a metal detector.

    It’s a bit of a loophole and pretty dubious, but SCOTUS will let him get away with it.

  • He'd be screaming something like "Make Bloodletting Cool Again" except that's not a cool acronym.

  • Lol... yeah. You can train birds to do just about anything. well. with in reason.

    The socks would help reduce stress after getting caught in the nets. (big sagging things that they'd fly into and get caught in.) but the ornithologist was going after song birds. I think the largest thing we saw trapped was a cardinal. You'd check it fairly regularly just walking a line and stuffing them in socks. Then into a lunch pail. (IIRC the pail had bob ross painting on it. if that gives you an idea of his manner.)

    ounce for ounce, the chickadees were the biggest fighters. I'm not sure they even weighed an ounce but those needle-beaks hurt when they decided to do an impression of Woody the Woodpecker on your knuckle

  • Fly....Fuck....er.........

    Somehow that seems worse than a goat fucker.

  • I mean, they might do that. Floyd rioters apparently spoke a whole lot of french in the coverage my grandma saw (and sent me.)

  • Absolutely.

    But just get ready for his bullshit.

    It’s fresh and more rancid than ever.

  • I knew an ornithologist that would stuff the birds into old socks because it kept them calm.

    Yes. They were washed….

    Maybe kitty is helping with banding?

  • Maybe she was doing experiments on it?

    (Anyone with access to an ion ray wanna tell me what opens when you aim it at a cuppa?)

  • He probably didn’t even see the burning car.

    He was probably already golfing and told Cosplay Bimbo, the “Puppy Killer” to “Take care of it” and Kristi noem thought “hey, I have a great national guard costume!”
