Also cyclists. If there is a person behind traveling faster than you, Get over when it is safe and allow them to pass. If that's an inconvenience, you should have "left the house a few minutes earlier".

I've raced motorcycles 2 decades now and this is brought up in every safety meeting. If the rider behind you is faster, let them pass, regardless of how important you think your run is. It's safer for everybody.

Thought of going with a shirt only at work and I could not made a worse choice. I will have to look for a new job soon.

May should have went with a shirt and pants :)

ADL is including pro-Palestine protests in count of "antisemitic" incidents

I can't find that anywhere in the article. Why use that for a title? The article states ADL is including 'rallies that feature “anti-Zionist chants and slogans",'. Which is understandable; That's their job. But pro-Palestinian isn't inherently anti-Zionist and conflating the two is disingenuous.

I can't believe people were buying into their "franchise". They approached me in 2020 when they were trying to expand into the town I live and I had a downtown warehouse to operate out of. After they got done explaining everything, I laughed until they hung up.

You had to buy the scooters from them at around $600 each, you were responsible for all the recovery/batteries/maintenance/damage/theft caused by customers, warranty was non-existent ("call our chinese supplier and they will totally hook you up"), and after that they took 20% off the top. Some quick math put it at over 6 months before each scooter became profitable IF nothing happened to it in that time. Someone throws it in the canal just to be a dick? Sucks to be you, you're out $600 + whatever else you've put into it every time it happens.

Really came off to me that they were making their money selling to suckers who thought they were going to be entrepreneurs.

Edit: They did apparently did get someone here into it because I saw them around for a few months before disappearing completely.

One state has strict gun lock/storage laws (Mass), a few others have laws requiring you to keep them away from minors and prohibited persons, but the majority do not. I'm guilty of haphazardly tossing mine in the nightstand. But I'm also the only human allowed in the house, not too worried about the cats getting ahold of one.

After referencing actress-comedienne and Trump supporter Roseanne Barr earlier in the interview, Grammer was asked by host Justin Webb if he was still a supporter of the former president.

“I am,” Grammer said. “And I’ll let that be the end of it.”

🤮

Suppressors do exist. And are commonly used in close quarters combat. Especially by well funded combatants like the IDF.

I doubt he's broke. Far more likely that he's just a bigot.

Not too shabby. Weather is cooling off, days getting shorter, I love it. Work is good. Hired some random cat off the street a couple weeks ago, and while he may not be the most productive member of the team, he's fitting right in.

High highs, low lows so far. Monday morning an adorable kitten wandered into my mechanic shop and applied for a job. He's official pest control manager now unless I find where he came from. He doesn't know a litter box or the sound of a cat food can opening so it's probably a stray/feral. But it's one of the most affectionate cats I've come across in a long time.

Tuesday leaving work after a meeting/pets with the new employee, I made it about 2 blocks and someone ran a stop sign and hit me. I'm ok, they are apparently ok (I stayed far back to keep it civil) but my poor 30 year old truck took a pretty hard hit. It's nothing special to anyone else; but I like it, and have put a lot of blood, sweat, and time into it. Hoping it's not as bad as it looks.

Anyways, here's the cat tax: https://i.imgur.com/ntvdV4V.jpg Hope it brightens y'all's day.

it’s interesting to see the drone’s perspective for a change.

The Russia/Ukraine conflict has really shown the drone's place on the battlefield. It's awesome; and terrifying.

What a convenient find.

 

Any other Motorola phone users get this notification pop-up? I found a post on the forum that shall not be named and it seems like a worldwide Motorola glitch but no official word yet.

Just wanted to repost here in case anyone else was weirded out by what Ricardo is doing on your phone.

 

If I check any of those selections, click save, and then refresh the page, they are unchecked again. But all the other settings retain their status.
