  • just this morning some idiot didn't want to stop at a crosswalk in a 25mph downtown area....

    the car that stopped going the other direction happened to be a cop car (who incidentally almost got rear-ended by some other idiot not paying attention).

    as i stepped onto the curb on the other side of the road, i saw red and blue flashing behind me and heard them on their PA ordering the driver to pull over and stop at the next corner.

  • my co-worker put one in a few years ago at their house out in the country, but they have multiple alternatives for heat when it's "too cold"; the original fuel oil furnace, a pellet stove, a wood fireplace, and electric on a ripple circuit. the heat pump alone would not be enough in this climate where -40 or colder is not uncommon.

  • when they do fully separate the two unrelated services and people have separate charges for each, they'll soon realize how many people only watched it because it was tacked-on in the first place.

  • 'i don't believe in welfare.'

    (..for the poor or non-whites. give all the federal money you want to our mostly-white farmers and agribusinesses, though)

  • be kind to the poor pfc, he's paying by the week for seven years for that shitbox.

  • four of them were stung by the truth, the rest didn't even know what the word meant.

  • i tried to make an arbys look like the picture. it required accordion-folding all the meat on the front one-third of the bun, leaving the rest empty. and it still wasn't 'piled high' enough.

  • that's pretty much the case with anything in the u.s. when was the last time you got a big mac or a whopper or an arbys that looked like the picture on the menu board or in adverts on tv?

  • new session starts first of the year, they are the ones that certify the electoral college votes. it's one of their first tasks. 1/6 happened on the third day of that congressional session.

  • an x64 laptop that can run anything you want, including browser addons or os 'apps' if that's your jam, is clunky and 'not suitable' for "99%"? 99% of tv viewers wouldn't know how to sideload an alternate 'app' or that they even exist. and 'ugly'? the lid is always closed, it's tucked away. i can't even see it. as far as cost.. used laptops are often given away. the one i use was someone's discarded junk and is even new enough to 'officially' support 11 (it also does linux quite well).

  • if you have no desire to 'participate' on a social media platform, but want people to still be able to 'google' you, perhaps a personal web page on your own domain. with a brief bio, your cv, and perhaps some interesting tidbits from hobbies or work projects.

  • the first time i watched the lego movie, it (the full feature) was an ad played during the trailer for the second movie--and it didn't have any ads in it either.

  • that would be correct. get a cheap laptop.. even a shitty one for $200 (new) will work for yt.. hook it up to hdmi, get a wireless kb/trackpad to stream surf from the sofa. i set a laptop (a junky stream14 with emmc) to not shut off when lid is closed. it stays closed. i sleep and wake it from the kb (k400 early model). that is my streaming 'device': browser (firefox)+addonsapps any day.

  • dns-based blockers do not work on youtube. google delivers ads from the same hostnames as the content.

  • voting the obstructionists and insurrectionists out of congress would also take care of the 'problem'.. and the new congress sits before certification takes place.

  • much of that extra grocery money would have ended up in the corporate pockets of nebraska's food producers..... not thinking of the children or the corporations here.

  • former resident here. you're absolutely correct, and also compared to most of the neighboring states.
