The Great One gets a not-so-great reception for wanting to Make America Great Again:
His poor, plasticine wife cannot understand why people are being mean and wants everyone to know that Wayne's feelings are really, really hurt. She writes:
"Your words mean the world to Wayne and his family, I have never met anyone who is more proud to be a Canadian and it has broken his heart to read and see the mean comments."
I really hope somebody replied with "fuck his feelings"

Why in the fuck would you want to drive down Sixth Street at night? Don't get shot at enough during your normal day?
I guess it makes it easier for kids from Killeen to do drive bys .
Dude, early 80s, saturday night, me and my bud in his sweet 1972 (iirc) z28 camaro rolling down 6th, blasting Metallica, high on Mexican ditch weed.
Doesn't get any better than that.
No, we were not from Killeen.

I’ve always been a little claustrophobic, but have managed it well until the last year. Flew all over the world, every kind of airplane, no problem.
Last year I had my first debilitating claustrophobia attack on an airplane. Since then I’ve had 3 more, plus one on a ski lift over Christmas. It has gotten significantly worse and continues to worsen.
I started exposure/cognitive behavioral therapy last week so I can learn to live normally again. Apparently a lot of that is going to be putting myself in situations that trigger it. That does not sound fun, but it has to be done.
The video/discussion above is horrifying to me. But maybe in a year or so I will be able to watch it without recoiling.I'm a little claustrophobic, but only when its in crowded situations. In open air, like say at a football game with open sky above me, no problem. But people crowding in on all sides, in an enclosed space, yeah no.
Last time I felt the fear was on the Statue of Liberty ferry coming back to Manhattan. The upper deck, open air, no problem. Coming back, wife wanted to sit downstairs so we could get off the ferry quicker. As we approached land, everybody stood up and crowded forward, low ceiling above me, people all around, I had to push through the crowd and go back upstairs.
If the elevator is full, I'll wait for the next elevator, or take the stairs. I would probably be ok, but why push it.
But yeah, that cave crawling crap. Nope to the nope power.

Police Officers Leave Man in Critical Condition Because Their Shift was Almost Over
January 19, 2025 by David Jones
Two St. Louis, Missouri police officers have been caught on body camera footage seemingly dismissing their duties after discovering a man who had been shot in a local park. The officers, identified as Ty Warren and Austin Fraser, are heard using derogatory language to refer to the victim and expressing frustration about the additional workload.
The incident occurred when the officers were responding to a 911 call from a man named Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera, who had indicated his intention to commit suicide. The call came in just 30 minutes before the officers were due to finish their shift. The footage reveals that upon finding Rodriguez-Rivera’s body in Forest Park on September 10, 2023, the officers expressed surprise and noted that the victim appeared to be severely injured but still alive.
Despite the critical condition of Rodriguez-Rivera, the officers decided to leave the scene and return later. The footage captures them discussing their plan to “cruise around and come back.” They did return to the scene when a third officer arrived but left shortly after, according to authorities.
Interestingly, while Rodriguez-Rivera’s death has been officially ruled a suicide, the police were unable to locate the firearm. St. Louis police spokesman Mitch McCoy stated that the missing gun is being treated as stolen and its disappearance is under investigation. The police are also monitoring any related activity on the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network.
McCoy also commented on the conduct of the two officers involved. He confirmed that neither Warren nor Fraser is currently employed by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. While he did not provide specific details about their dismissal, he emphasized that the department holds its officers to the highest standards and will take appropriate disciplinary action if an officer is found to have violated policies.
Somehow missed this.
I wonder where the missing gun went?

An armed SWAT team burst in the wrong door — but this North Texas family can't sue
James Jimerson and his kids were fast asleep on what was supposed to be a normal evening in March 2019. His wife, Karen, says she was showering when she suddenly heard a loud bang followed by the sound of her windows breaking.
Karen rushed from the bathroom half naked when she and her daughter allege they were met with men dressed in all-black vests labeled "SWAT,” pointing guns at them as Karen begged them not to shoot. Officers shouted at them to get on the ground.
The SWAT team had smashed in the front door of the Lancaster, Texas family’s home, deployed a flashbang grenade and held Karen and James and their three children at gunpoint — before one officer reportedly yelled, “wrong house!”
The incident, detailed in federal court documents, left the Jimersons' home damaged and their family traumatized.
But the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the family's case, leaving in place a ruling that granted the officer who led the raid qualified immunity — a controversial legal doctrine that gives government officials immunity from being sued in certain situations.
In a statement, Karen Jimerson said she was disappointed the justices declined her case.
In the case of the Jimersons, the Waxahachie Police Department’s SWAT team was planning to execute a no-knock warrant — which allows law enforcement to enter a home without announcing their presence or knocking — on a separate home in Lancaster suspected of holding drugs, according to court records.
But officers arriving at the scene gathered in front of the wrong home. Lewis, who was leading the SWAT team, realized they were at the wrong home, and without checking the address, ordered his team to raid the home of Karen and James Jimerson instead, according to court records.
“Although he later claimed that he ‘believed’ the Jimersons’ address matched the warrant, Lewis conceded he ‘did not even check the number’ before ordering the SWAT team to execute,” court documents alleged.
I used to think "cops fucked up. Fucking idiots"
Now I wonder "did they really fuck up, or did the father of that household flip off an off duty cop or something?"

It is more complicated than that, but they could all be the same. For instance, any generator is free to sell on the ERCOT real time market. If they do so, they get whatever price is posted by ERCOT. If my solar panels at home generate power to the grid in the middle of August when prices are $.50 per kwh, I'd get the same $.50 per kwh as a 500MW combined cycle turbine power plant. But most power plants sell some or almost all of their generation based upon longer term contracts with averaged pricing. A combined cycle powerplant usually is going to get a better long term contract price because its energy is dispatchable and can fill needs at anytime. Dispatchable powerplants may get lower longer term contract prices if they primarily generate electricity when real time prices are lower.
typo that I didn't catch in time.
Are you sure this is correct? Because I think the extra my home solar panels generate is bought from me by my provider, at a set rate, that I agreed to when I chose that provider.

The fact that all of these ROI discussions purposefully exclude externalities is the fucking problem.
Imagine energy source A -- can power 10,000 homes for a year for $10 million.
Energy source B -- can power 10,000 homes for a year for $7.5 million.
No brainer, right? But.....energy source B, to operate at that level of performance, will pollute the primary water source for the area. And, it will emit toxic emissions that will cause an additional 100 fatal cancer cases a year.
The relevant question is not the relative EROI of A and B. The relevant question is the external costs of obtaining the $2.5 million a year in savings by choosing source B. The cost of saving $2.5 million is an unusable water source and 100 extra deaths per year. Are THOSE costs worth the money?
Of course, we all know the answer. The savings could be a dollar, and the cost 1,000 additional deaths, and the obvious choice would be "save a buck, because shareholder value and we've convinced consumers that saving an extra few cents is worth making things a hellscape."
Hey man, the only time socialism is good is when the societal costs are socialized.
Profits however, capitalize those, of course. What are you, a commie?

They whine about getting neg bombed, but I have yet to see an actual reasonable argument that defends anything going on in the R party today.
Until that day comes, and I ain't holding my breath, fuck em. They got nothing.
