Sounds like “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” BS

So are night hawks.

Had to look these up. Related to what the US calls night hawks, which also are not hawks.

Love it!

Did NATO consider doing what it should have done and go ahead with the plan with or without trump? Why are they coddling the toddler?

Closing slightly opened drawers and cabinet doors.

Someone needs to put the districts into a LLM AI model and see what happens when it is told to split the districts into balanced districts based on a set of demographics.

Still sends goosebumps up and down my spine. Hearing that in Dolby Surround Sound made it even creepier.

Doesn’t prove that he wasn’t doing drugs in the summer and fall of 2024.

That looks like lovely weather. Here in Galveston, TX at midnight it is 85°, but feels like 96° with the humidity.

The website says turnaround is 24-48 hours, too.

Why did they hold the sample for a week before testing? Collected 6/11, results 6/18?

They just keep sticking their fingers in their ears and going, “la la la la la” like nothing is happening. 🤦‍♀️

You’re at 32 at 4pm. I’m at 32 at 10am with a heat index of 39…in Galveston, Texas USA. Difference is, we have AC everywhere. Daughter was in London about a month ago and was telling me then that it was warm.

Why is it consistently off schedule? Is it because the schedule is wrong for the traffic flow or because the buses aren’t leaving the yard timely or because of breakdowns? There is a company called Swiftly that helped CapMetro figure out why their schedules were off.
comment in response to post
It has never been up. Austin is a car city. We have a small rail line, but the hours for it suck. The overnight takes hours to get to where you need to go. No buses run on Sunday after 10pm. The UT shuttle is the best of it. They are making improvements, but Austin just isn’t a mass transit city.
comment in response to post
Hopefully they have higher ridership for the bendy buses than Austin has. Pulled up next to one Sunday and there was 1 rider. Austin doesn’t need BRTs because there isn’t a route that has a large enough ridership.

Probably doing the same thing with the epi pen.

What is ERO?
comment in response to post
Clemency doesn’t necessarily mean pardon. Pardon means that the charges are wiped out as if they never happened. Biden did a lot of commutation of sentences. The conviction stands, but the person is released from any further penalty (prison time, parole time or probation time, plus any fines/fees).

They are wearing sheriff marked flak jackets. WTH LA County?
comment in response to post
The Hennepin County Prosecutor has also filed charges and is taking it to a grand jury. Trump can’t pardon anything but federal cases.
comment in response to post
If trump was assassinated twice, why are we still having to deal with him? And what happened that someone had to assassinate him the 2nd time? Did he somehow get un-assassinated? Language is to important and these yahoos don’t have it.
comment in response to post
He will be charged under state law and trump can’t do a thing about it.

Canada sent a contingent.

What a joke you are!

Those are cobra chickens! We need to send them on to DC and wherever trump is. Let him know what Canada really thinks.

Wonder why the Old Post Office is $1000+, when the rest of the nearby properties are anywhere near that price.

Fun thing. His younger sister was asked by her 3rd grade teacher what half of 8 was and she said 3. Teacher said try again and she said zero.
comment in response to post
I think he does. Middle left to the bottom then up to top right and back to middle. Or at least he did when he was younger.
comment in response to post
Hopefully Austin will not allow them to be there after this. At least the Waymos that are there go slow enough that they stop. There’s a funny video of a Waymo just waiting for a guy to move, then trying to figure out how to get past him.
comment in response to post
Yes!!!
comment in response to post
It’s really hard for me. I was taught cursive by my Mom. She was born in 1913 and told me that they spent hours just making rounded letters…so called copper plate. Every time I don’t do a full signature, I hear her in my head telling me how important it is to have clean and clear writing.
comment in response to post
Oldest daughter’s first name starts with S…so hers is an S squiggle H line…LOL
comment in response to post
Put out some sugar packets and watch. They will drill down and then take small amounts of sugar, toss it into the air and catch it. With the peppermints, I’ve watched them grab the twisted end, beat the mint in the ground to break it up, then do the drill down thing.
comment in response to post
Mine isn’t quite that, but when I have to sign a bunch of stuff, the last half of my last name kind of becomes a squiggly line and I just use my first initial. When I sign legal stuff (like credit card receipts) it get more precise.
comment in response to post
His occupational and physical therapists told me he basically draws, rather than writes, his signature.
comment in response to post
That’s common. My son’s signature is basically printed letters that he goes back and connects with lines between the letters.
comment in response to post
But grackles have some cool culture. They won’t bring you gifts like crows will, but they will line up one behind the other to take turns eating a large something like a hamburger bun. They are also sugar fiends that particularly like Sonic peppermints.
comment in response to post
Do you start your letters at the bottom? For example, my son makes the letter “n” by doing the rounded part first, from the bottom up, then the “stick” from the bottom up. Capital “B” is the 3 first, again bottom to top, then the stick bottom to top.
comment in response to post
What they all had in common was that they were Nintendo fiends…the kind that play for hours and hours and look like pale zombies when they finally stop. This was with the original remote…small with just short distance up/down/right/left for each side that use their thumbs. No fine motor skills.
comment in response to post
Definitely! My son, who is now 43, has dysgraphia. Starting with his age group, there was a large number of kids diagnosed with dysgraphia. Mainly boys, but also girls. They all had the same quirks in writing. “O” made counterclockwise, no part of the letter below the line, lines drawn bottom up.
