I think of that milky white one as stamina, ala Diablo 2… frost cherry i think its called.

Is there an Alan wagner community?

Only with a doctor’s diagnosis, otherwise its an insult.

Huh, I would have never thought to ask about most mass produced shoes. I guess my redwing boots are fairly mass produced, and ive gotten those resolved, but even my merril boots I dont think of as being repairable.

I used to work as a bike mechanic in my teens, and it was pretty standard for shops to have a ‘no department store’ policy for repairs. We’d chance a tube, but trying true a wheel, or properly set breaks and gear on those soft metal, low presicision components just wasnt worth it.

Citizen’s arrest is generally pretty narrow in what / when it allows, even with the added protections to the process shopkeepers privilege grants to buisnesses.

The major hurdle is in most states you have to have witnessed the offense occur, (or a similarly high bar of burden of proof) or and in most states it must be a felony they commited.

Illegal immigracommitted. Only misdemeanor, unless someone has committed the offense multiple times. (Illegal reentry)

So in most states, the only way one could make a valid citizen’s arrest of an illegal immigrant would be if you litterally watched them sneak over the border multiple times.

My cousin got flown to England for a 4th round interview before they decided to ‘go a different direction’

They still paid for her airfare and comped just shy of weeks in one of their hotels though so she got a free vacation out of it.

Dinosaurs allowed themselves go extinct because they glimpsed the future and saw what became of their descendants.

GWAR!

So was stealing horses.

How long until the entire planet is one giant ai facility?

Uh oh. By my napkin math, and some quick searches, there are currently 400k acres of ai/ cloud data centers, (625sq miles) and 57million sq miles of land on the planet. If we keep doubling square footage each time, the 18th 6monthly doubling will bring us to 81,920,000 sq miles, meaning we have a little under 9 years before AI has consumed the entire planet!

What if I was practicing my French and meant to say I was full after a meal, but got it wrong?

All Originally medical terms, that then entered comon usage as insults, fell out of favor medically because of that, were rejected by polite society, then after a refractory period and enough replacements, became lower grade insults that were more acceptable for common use.

Thats the thing, our cops tend to be pretty solid about community oriented stuff. We’re also a wealthy vacation town (think like the hamptons) which tends to help.

If i lived in a community where that was not the case, I would have tried dealt with this through other means. Like I said, the moment I moved this outside, a beat cop happened by and immediately recognized a situation and moved to help, not threaten with violence or arrest.

The issue here was the dispatcher, who, to be fair, was a gal who I went to school with, and was… not the best critical thinker.

If we ever get past this, we need a McCarthy red scare-esque inquest but for fascism in our government.

“Are you, or have you ever been a member of the MAGA party?”

Something like this works. Just turn the water off with the spray nozzle, not the handle. https://share.google/1HpxlLwZ6RMXGdMoS

I used to have a kitchen sink faucet with the mixing handle on the side, that i installed after the 2 tap mixers.

So the 2 taps controlled hot and cold, which fed into the faucets cold line, and the hot line was capped off, making the handle only control flow, and temp was the 2 knobs. (I did this out of laziness because I didnt want to unsolder and resolder in new fittings)

They dont need to win the case on merit; theyll just get a corrupt judge to overturn any rulings on appeals.

That just leaves damning information becoming public knowledge via discovery, which they’ve prevented by destroying the evidence.

2 in the blue, one in the poo.

We were able to stop him. I convinced him to step outside for a cigarette with me, while we continued talking. He was still talking pretty manicaly, which attracted the attention of a cop on foot, who helped me talk him down until ems arrived.

Most ridiculous call ive made was an attempted suicide.

A guy had set up in a local coffee shop, and was going to drink a quart of latex paint, which he planned to wash down with a pint of paint thinner, to prove the paint was nontoxic.

So I called and asked them to send police and ems down to help help stop a suicide. The dispatcher said she wasnt sure suicide was against the law. I told her that it was, it still counted as murder in our jurisdiction. She remained dubious and also wasn’t sure that drinking paint would be lethal. I pointed out drinking a pint of paint thinner definitely was.

Finally I changed tack; i said that when this guy went into convulsions, he was sure to make a mess of the floor of the buisness he was in, between the spilled and the vomited paint, and that most assuredly violated destruction of private property laws.

Her entire demeanor changed. She responded brightly with 'oh yeah, you should have led with that, ill have officers and emts at your location within 10 minutes!
