A police officer recently got scared by a falling acorn thinking it was a gunshot. He then mag dumped dozens of rounds into his own squad car thinking it was the man he had in custody (handcuffed, searched for weapons already, and trapped inside).

Luckily he struck with police precision. Meaning he missed every single shot and the guy was unharmed physically. Now he quit his job due to public ridicule.

This meme jokes by extending the conspiracy theories around Taylor swift to include dropping the acorn.

Not the asshole. 20 and 17 are old enough to handle adult situations and information. If you didn’t tell them, they’d be left wondering.

Agree with this. Also the US is definitely not monocultural either, despite the desires of our loudest countrymen.

Energy is a global market.

If gas prices increase sufficiently where the pipeline gas is consumed, some suppliers that supply the UK may consider rerouting gas supply to capture the increased price and profit. This means less supply for the UK which increases prices there also until there’s a balance. Higher prices mean people will use less gas until the supply in each area is enough to meet demand.

Most people don’t drive 300 miles a day

Because everything you said is bullshit

This is from August 19, not 26.

Yes I’m sick of the pontification around valid targets for Ukraine. They have been invaded. Any Russian anything is a valid target until they leave.

It was a hallucination.

Good luck with your lead poisoning issue

This is the real answer to the question given the nuance in the question of “if you make a lot”

God this was a trip down memory lane. Thanks for this. I miss bash.org stuff, maybe some of the old ytmnd stuff, new grounds flash portal, etc.

And IRC…

The Drumhead is one of my favorites
