- Comment on Are drink coasters for people who frequently spill their drink or have trouble drinking without dribbling down the cup? 3 hours ago:
Got it. So what’s the order. Lick coaster drink shot of tequila bite lime? Or bite lime, drink tequila shot then lick coaster.

There is a population of Ireland is around 5.3 million. More than 6 million people have immigrated to the U.S. from there. Factor in kids, grandkids and such… It makes sense that there would be a number of people claiming Irish heritage. Also the number of people who find an Irish accent attractive is non-zero.
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 2 days ago:
Yeah I’ve never had issues with spicy foods causing anything but mouth feels and I’ve tried sauces like the last dab (not often but I tried their nugget w/ 3 sauces they had in the freezer section)
I get heart burn more from sugary shit it seems.
- Comment on Protip: 2 days ago:
Yeah, using OP’s picture it cut like this, so it was likely a glass cup or bottle that someone has cracked or just how my foot managed to bend when stepping. I just walked back, poor rubbing alcohol on it, put super glue in it and kept drinking. What else are you supposed to do in college 🤷
- Comment on Protip: 2 days ago:
No shirt, No shoes, No Rump Shaker Coverings, No Service. I assume it just sounded better. Skirts, dresses, kilts, pants, shorts.
Quick search found this: “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” was a response by businesses in the 1960s and 1970s to keep long-haired hippies out of stores and restaurants. There are no federal or state laws to this effect. However, there are laws that allow businesses to make their own regulations. This phrase has become an accepted norm

One drunken night 15 years ago I remember walking barefoot into a gas station to get cigarettes and the guy behind me told me my foot was bleeding. I found out I stepped on a broken piece of glass and left a blood footprint trail for about a quarter mile. It was on the ball of my foot, so it was the ball and first three toes in blood all the way down the sidewalk back towards the house party I had walked from.
My friend told me he walked that way the next day he was really impressed at how straight of a line it was in if I was drunk enough to not notice and bleed enough to feel it. Not sure I was supposed to take pride in that.

Illegal I haven’t seen. No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service I have seen all over though. Often times near beaches. Many gas stations and restaurants have them as well. Though I don’t see them as often

Ask 20 people on the street who advocated for for free press to be added to the constitution. I’d take a guess that maybe 2 of them will get it right, maybe. The other 18 will say either the founding fathers, the states being asked to join, or they don’t know.
It isnt a religion or people would know that Moses did A, Jesus did B, etc. It’s just a lack of knowing or remembering details so people just say “founding fathers” as a blanket term to cover the legislatures of the time.
That doesn’t mean people don’t believe in freedom of the press, they just believe it was wise of James Madison to ensure it was included in the first amendment. Also I’m sure others can argue he wasn’t the only one advocating for it, so a blanket plural works for many.
I understand how it will come across as “we’ve always done it that way” which in Judicial branch they call precedent. Should precedent always hold, not at all. For the most part though, we’ve only had to stray from the core of that writing 17 times since the “completed” constitution was ratified. (Because the first 10 were in the Bill of Rights which were required by the States to ratify it)
- Comment on The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs 6 days ago:
Fits with the time period where the company I worked for laid off nearly 70 of us and outsourced the department. I’d be curious to see how the numbers run to see if they were actually better off somehow doing so do to this.
- Comment on ICE thugs pounced on a man right there in the courthouse, mere minutes after his immigration case was dismissed 1 week ago:
How a normal courthouse arrest would work: Judge asks the court’s deputy to take the person into custody and an officer walks up to the person at the podium and tells them they are going to put cuffs on them, tells them their rights, whatever. You have to go through metal detectors and security to enter a courthouse in the U.S. They clearly do not have a weapon on them or it would have been confiscated upon entry during that process. Some our local courthouse does not even allow you to bring your phone in. (This policy varies as the courthouse in the next down does allow you to). Anyways. This man clearly was not running, or fighting and had no weapon on him. So by all definitions he showed up to court as requested and complied with all requirements and was physically assaulted and taken to the ground for no reason.
We need to start putting these officers on trial for assault/battery charges. Note: if such was done here the victim would legally be allowed to stay in the U.S. and have an expedited citizenship case during the court proceedings.
Aka the law would essentially put those officers in jail and grant citizenship to the man who did what he was asked. The fact that it won’t happen speaks volumes about how the executive branch is not upholding the legislative branches decisions. Therefore all executive branch members letting this occur are should be charged with treason

Does it count if we killed off the last of the cold blooded mammals?
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 1 week ago:
No thanks. We need to shut down all U.S. affiliation with prisons outside the U.S. Release those prisoners or transfer them back to the U.S. and have proper trials. Trump needs to stand trial for the fake electors and for every unconstitutional measure he has done before/since as an unconstitutional act that the Supreme Court deems unconstitutional should not be considered an official act. The President should be suspended from all duties until Congress performa an investigation draws up the articles of impeachment and it is tried by the Senate.
Musk should be tried for election interference and any other laws he may have broken but it should be done right here in the U.S. If anything freeze all of his accounts and require him to step down from any/all roles within his companies as part of his required bale terms, or otherwise he would be choosing to spend the time awaiting trial in jail.
These actions would ensure they aren’t trying to drag court cases out for years, they would want the court cases to move along faster.
Would Trump get convicted by the Senate, unlikely. That’s on us for voting terrible people into the legislative branch. But we can’t complain about those who break the law if we think it’s fine to break the law when it fits our wants. We need to update those laws legally or tear the whole thing down and say Musk and Trump didn’t break any laws because we didn’t think those laws mattered as well.

Best I can do is use it for small plane trips and powder the top of everything with baking soda. Side effects may include killing all plant life along common routes.
- Comment on Colorado’s governor vetoes landmark ban on rent-setting algorithms 2 weeks ago:
Not sure it’s lobbyists. Maybe actual bribes, or just not wanting this for personal gain later, but he can’t be re-elected. His second term for Governor ends with the 2026 election. Lobbying would imply he was taking money for his election campaign but there won’t be one for him unless maybe he’s running for a seat in the legislature?
- Comment on Bachelor Chow slabs, anyone? 2 weeks ago:
They use harder plastic here, but often times they make items like this, then refrigerate some and package them next to the hot food section. So they don’t get as dried out sitting under a heat lamp for hours. This also qualifies them for SNAP (food stamps) as hot food does not qualify. Then you just take it home and throw it in the oven when your ready to eat it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t ever been afraid of those things, I see more likely scenarios of them having it disable the O2 sensor to cause the check engine light to come on and depending on the vehicle cause sputtering and other “serious issue signs.” To convince drivers to take it in for repair. Then just re-enable or replace the sensor for dealers to make a quick hefty buck.
You can steer someone’s car once and when it hits the news people would freak out and the companies stock would crash. You can send 500,000 people to the shop for a sensor malfunction and charge them $200 to repair it make an extra $100,000,000 and fly under the radar pretty easily I imagine. It would be hard to prove that “reseating” the old sensors cable didn’t infact fix the issue
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t that the same one we found out that most of the data being recorded wasn’t from the cars but data that the sales/maintenance workers were allowed to record when you were at the dealership and they manufactures/dealers could legally sell it do to the contracts. It’s horrible that they do it, but the cars weren’t tracking your sex life, and trying to figure out if you were a lesbian, or if you were even male/female. The dealership was just able to mark information like that down and sell it.
It’s one more reason buying cars direct from the manufacturer for those who choose to should be allowed and not banned by law like states such as Florida have done. We don’t need more middlemen between producer and consumer. It usually only raises prices and creates more privacy issues.
- Comment on TIL: UnitedHealthcare Caught Paying Off Nursing Homes to Let Seniors Die Because Hospital Transfers were “Too Expensive” 2 weeks ago:
Same with regulations being rolled back. I would love to see a 10 billion dollar price tag be marked for every life lost do to a practice a company was required to perform, then was allowed to stop because an administration rolls back regulations. Just because a regulation was rolled back doesn’t mean there wasn’t a known threat to someone’s life. Executives should all receive pre-meditated murder convictions, and the fines be paid directly to the family’s with no ability to declare bankruptcy to default on it. If a new company is started by any of the people involved the unpaid costs should transfer indefinitely ensuring they cannot own anything until they pay off the 10 billion.

Here, this helps your theory that it’s a real fence. Best I could find

The same reporter, in her post before it, same fence supposedily. The gate appears to be for that fence, which sounds as if to be for crowd management. No signs of Hamas being present at said gate/fence or else the troops present would either be giving or taking fire. The stories don’t line up either
Kassy Akiva @KassyAkiva 12h There were a few hiccups today, including the contractors distributing aid needing to fall back to relieve pressure at a gate. But once they didc, order was immediately restored, according to my source.

I don’t know anything about how cameras are “enhancing” pictures/videos but in your still I would wonder 1: how is this wire supposedly connected to these randomly placed fence posts, and 2 what is happening here, arms and faces all through the wiring?
- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 3 weeks ago:
If you ever end up watching Andor, they explain more of how the empire mines entire planets to collapse acquiring minerals they need, destabilizes galactic views of planets to ensure resistance would be minimalized. It also goes into how the weakness in the DeathStar was created and how some engineers were essentially enslaved/forced into to building it. Believe they gun down most of the lead engineers in Rogue One.
