My Grandfather.
He was a drunk and a a wife beater.
One night starting at about 10 pm he beat my grandma to the brink of death with anything he could find.
He broke the walnut coat tree over her head, beat her with the radio, whipped her with his belt, broke her hands, tired her up behind his car and drug her up and down the gravel road, burned her clothes, and left her outside in February and kept dumping water on her trying to wake her up.
He finally stopped around 5 am when he called my mom because she wouldn’t wake up.
My mom and aunt took her to the hospital and sent the cops after him.
He tried to say she did it to herself and then charged his story to say that she ran off with “a bunch of n*ggers to do cocaine”.
She was in a coma and was pronounced brain dead 4 days after it happened.
There were belt marks on her back and stomach and you could clearly read his name from his belt buckle.
I vividly remember sitting though the court hearings and testifying at 12 years old.
He went to prison, we had to fight his parole every 5 years to keep him in, because he would have killed all of us for putting him in there, for 20 years.
In 2020 he died a slow and horrible death in the prison infirmary of Covid, he suffered for weeks and not one of his children or grandchildren went to visit him in his final days.
The only way we’re going to get our country back is if we get a sane Democrat in office that rules the same way Trump does.
So it’s never happening.
You can’t play by the rules while your opponent cheats and expect anything but to lose.
If you have room for it, buy some chickens.
Tractor supply Company sells them as chicks in the spring.
This pranks the factory farm industry by refusing to give them money to continue their cruel, unsanitary, and inhumane practices.
Ice storm of 2004, we didn’t have power for 13 days, 10 of those days the road conditions were so bad that we couldn’t get off the farm.
We had switched over to gas heat about 5 years before and didn’t have a wood burner anymore so we had to resort to boiling pots of snow on the gas stove to keep the house above freezing.
The whole family slept in the downstairs living room adjacent to the kitchen with the gas stove in our sleeping bags and camping gear to stay warm.
On day 10 when the roads were accessible again we went to town but most places were still closed in the ones that weren’t were picked pretty clean.
We we’re able to find kerosene for the kerosene heaters and kept the house a little warmer for the next three days until the power came back on.
Words directly spoken by Jesus are in red, most of the things Jesus said would be considered radically socialist by today’s “Christians”
Oh it doesn’t mean it won’t happen, they’re just as likely to fuck up the whole thing by trying it anyway.
We can obviously listen to the science of it and know it won’t work, but they don’t believe in science.
I meant those who bought his “Patriot Bible” specifically
I’m surprised Trump didn’t remove all the words in red from his Bible.
But then again he’s never read it and neither have the people who bought his Bible.
20:00-21:00 and up at 03:30, at least I’m off work at 13:30 and home by 14:00 though
You might enjoy this then.
I refill and reuse mine, I got an adapter I can use a grill tank to fill them up with and take them camping for my lantern and camp grill
Good, Disney shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near anything Pratchett wrote.
They probably couldn’t fuck up the Long Earth though, the first half of the series was pretty cool, and I love the concept, but the last 2-3 books were kind of a slog.
But I think Stephen Baxter had more influence on those as he co-wrote the series with Pratchett, and they came out when Pratchett was at the end of his life and really struggling with his Alzheimer’s
KSP 2.
It was mismanaged, underfunded, and understaffed.
I’d scrap the mess they have now, hire an appropriate number of people to work on the game, and give them as much time as they need to get it right.
Losing a week of profit, two max, isn’t going to bankrupt a company, especially if they’re not paying out anything for labor during that time. If it does, maybe they should cut back on the avocado toast.
The place I work for had to shut down for 11 days after an ice storm a few years ago and they paid us our full wages the entire time, didn’t go under.
No real issues with speed, it seems fine.
I do have a bit of downtime but nothing unreasonable, maybe 2-3 times a week I won’t be able to access it at all for maybe 10 min max but it’s not often enough to be a real problem and it could be something on my end.
Being unable to post from behind a VPN is annoying though, I don’t necessarily want my employer to know what I’m doing with my phone on the company Wi-Fi in my downtime.
Who’s going to run out of food first?
The people with more money than God?
Or the people living paycheck to paycheck?
They would just wait it out until we had no choice but to go back to work, and we’d have to agree to far worse terms than we have now.
We’d be better off just dragging the rich out of their homes to preheated barbecue grills.

Chase routinely flags my phone bill that I’ve been paying to the same company for 5+ years as “potentially fraudulent” and doesn’t allow the purchase to go through.
However, they didn’t flag a $900 purchase on Chipotle gift cards on the other side of the country as potentially fraudulent and I had to file with them and wait for them to complete an investigation.
