  1. Dumbest fucking people on the planet. This has to be a fucking joke. Fuck you if you enable these idiots by voting for them. https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/04/05/minnesota-republicans-introduce-legislation-inspired-by-the-chemtrails-conspiracy-theory/ Minnesota Republicans introduce legislation inspired by the chemtrails conspiracy theory Republicans in the Legislature, including Senate assistant minority leader Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, have introduced legislation (HF4687/SF4630) inspired by the “chemtrails” conspiracy theory. The bill contains a mishmash of conspiratorial pseudoscience, including references to made-up phenomena like “xenobiotic electromagnetism and fields,” with just enough parroting of actual science to give it a veneer of credibility. It requires county sheriffs to investigate citizen complaints of “polluting atmospheric activity,” and grants the governor the authority to call up the National Guard and ground any aircraft suspected of spreading pollutants. To professionals who study and understand atmospheric science, the legislation bears all the hallmarks of the “chemtrails” conspiracy theory, which posits that airplane exhaust is deliberately laced with harmful chemicals for various nefarious purposes, including forced sterilization and mind control. “Because the text of this bill focuses so much on electromagnetic radiation, you can tell that it is coming from the community of people concerned with chemtrails,” said Holly Buck, who studies geoengineering at the University at Buffalo in New York. Lawmakers in at least seven other states have introduced similar bills recently. While most have stalled in committee, a Tennessee bill recently sailed through the GOP-controlled House and Senate and awaits a signature or veto by the Republican governor there. Sponsors in some of those states have explicitly referenced the chemtrails conspiracy in discussing the legislation. “If you look at a thousand planes, you won’t see one (chemtrail). But then all of a sudden you see one,” the author of the Tennessee Senate bill told the Tennessee Lookout last month. “So we’re just asking the question: Are they putting anything in the air that could be toxic?” The Minnesota House version of the bill was authored by GOP Rep. Jeff Dotseth of Kettle River and co-sponsored by Reps. Pam Altendorf of Red Wing, Dawn Gillman of Dassel and Krista Knudson of Lake Shore. The Senate version was authored by GOP Sen. Eric Lucero of Saint Michael and co-sponsored by Sens. Glenn Gruenhagen of Glencoe, Bruce Anderson of Buffalo, Nathan Wesenberg of Little Falls and Eichorn, the assistant minority leader. Some of the language in the bill is nonsensical. “I don’t think xenobiotic electromagnetism and fields is a thing — it doesn’t even make sense,” Buck said. The lead authors of both chambers’ bills did not respond to a request to define “xenobiotic electromagnetism,” or to provide a real-world example of it. Among other things, the legislation seeks to ban “weather-engineering, cloud-seeding, stratospheric aerosol injection, or other atmospheric activity that is harmful to humans or the environment” as well as the emission of “xenobiotic agents” and “excessive electromagnetic radiation.” It requires local law enforcement to “encourage” the public to monitor “polluting atmospheric activities” and report them to authorities. If any such report is made, county sheriffs and commissioners must follow up and investigate, “without limitation.” It further instructs sheriffs and county commissioners to order the grounding of any aircraft suspected of engaging in “weather-engineering or other atmospheric experimentation that involves releasing xenobiotic agents or producing electromagnetic radiation at harmful levels.” The bill also gives the governor the authority to call up the National Guard and ground any aircraft suspected of engaging in “prohibited activity.” Taken at face value the legislation could ban all air traffic in the state, due to its apparent blanket prohibition on “polluting atmospheric activity” that is “harmful to humans or the environment.” Similarly worded legislation in other states has been shot down over concerns about the effects on agricultural operators, ethanol producers, radio and TV broadcasters, and other industries. The bill has no chance of becoming law under a DFL trifecta and is highly unlikely to even receive a hearing. But the support of multiple Republican members, including a member of leadership, gives a sense of how the party might govern were it to return to power.
  2. Didn't want to create a new thread. I guess this dude really hated his stepmom. The article is that clear but her son was graduating. As she went to hug him, the step-son shot her. From the pic, I guess the family had a few things to say to the shooter. https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-mexico-man-shoots-stepmom-tried-give-him-hug-during-graduation-ceremony-police-say Authorities said the woman was attending the Southwest Secondary Learning Center graduation for her son. Her stepson, Christian Bencomo, 21, arrived and "as she started to hug him, he produced a handgun and shot her in the neck," police said.
  3. Glasses! Confirmed corch on the field.
  4. Maybe they'll be inspired by the shitty Hobbit movies. Gollum will have a Hobbit girlfriend and he'll invisibly fuck her because why the fuck not?
  5. Happy to report that there seemed to be very little inconsequential protests during the different schools' commencements. I didn't see or hear any protest during the main Saturday night commencement. I'm extremely happy the 2024 class finally got their graduation which they didn't get in 2020 when they were in high school. Now I can fully not give a shit about any of this shit.
  6. Maybe an attorney can educate me. Why would the DA office/Garza offer a 12 year deal? It seemed like a pretty straight forward case where he would be found guilty and prob get close to the max term. Why did the DA office feel the need to chicken out?
  7. As of right now, evening hours (8pm-9pm) is at risk. The chart is fluid and changes throughout the day. https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/supplyanddemand
  8. Tiger probably was at his best when he was with reckless abandon fucking prostitutes and porn stars.
  9. Benefits of a wet sauna: https://www.saunaadvisors.com/wet-sauna-benefits/ While inside the sauna, your body reacts to the extreme heat by sweating, which naturally cools your skin.

  10. It's a gentleman's game founded on decorum and honor. Plus there's usually betting involved so cheating is severely frowned upon. Who wants to play with a known cheater?
  11. I agreed with much of the things he said about how rigged the system is against the younger generation. They are proper fucked.
  12. Killed because the thieves wanted the truck tires. Before we start casting stones, in 2022 there was a random killing on Padre Island of a Utah couple. The murderous thieves wanted the Utah couple's RV camper to flee to Mexico. Shit happens everywhere.
  13. People driving around with guns in the car are looking to use said gun. Why else have a gun in the car? An unstable dude making a scene and yelling at hourly employees at McDonald's is exactly the type of person who I think would shoot someone over a verbal altercation. This is the America that we live in.
  14. Don't bad mouth Wang. He helped save us from Lo Pan and the 3 Storms.
  15. Looks like the are cracking down on dealers. I guess 70+ people dying/almost dying will inspire the Mayor, City Council, DAs office, and Police to finally do something. Maybe this dude will rat out his supplier and so on. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/police-find-weed-positive-for-fentanyl-in-austin-man-arrested/ Officers focused on surveillance efforts near North Lamar Boulevard and Rutland Drive, described in police documents as an “active open-air drug market.” Police noted they’d seen several drug deals happen at this site. Just before 2 p.m. Thursday, documents said an undercover officer went to Cash America Pawn at 9616 N. Lamar Blvd., where a man walked up to the officer’s window. The officer asked for crack cocaine and offered $40 for the exchange, police documents said. The suspect allegedly gave the undercover officer two pieces of crack cocaine before he was apprehended. Police documents identified the suspect as 33-year-old Kanady Arkangelo Rimijo. While police searched the suspect, officials claim they found eight bags of marijuana. Documents said both the crack cocaine handed to the undercover officer as well as the marijuana tested positive for fentanyl. “The suspected marijuana was tested for the presence of opioids, as there have been several overdose cases, arrests, and other purchases made by undercover officers in the past 72 hours that involved narcotics that do not normally contain opioids (crack cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana),” police documents said.
  16. That was hard to watch. These guys are not accustomed to that immense pressure. Last week, Martin Trainer choked in the playoff hole against Rory and Shane. He had the horrible chunked chip and then the missed putt from the same distance as this guy.
  17. I'm evacuating to Colorado for the entire month of July. Fuck Texas summers.
  18. https://www.kxan.com/weather/100-degree-days-predictions-2024/ Of course, making predictions so early in the year is not scientifically accurate. As our meteorologists will tell you, accurately forecasting out more than seven days ahead is incredibly difficult. Last year, the team predicted anywhere from 33 to 44 days of triple-digit heat, but Austin ended up with 80. This year, the team is predicting a well-above-average year when it comes to 100° days. Austin averages 29 days at or above 100° in a typical year. Here’s what the team is predicting for 2024:
  19. If I show her my dick, she might want to fuck me, or cry. It's worth the risk... It doesn't mention the airline but I'm betting Spirit. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/man-admits-to-sexual-acts-on-flight-from-lubbock-to-dallas/ Court records said on March 29, Morris and a 25-year-old woman were sitting in the same row of the airplane, four seats apart. There were no other passengers on that row. As the airplane made the final approach into Lubbock, court records said Morris “removed his penis from his pants and started masturbating while looking at [the woman.]” The woman saw what Morris was doing and looked again to confirm what was happening. Court documents said the woman was scared and started to cry. She called for flight attendants, who separated Morris and stayed with the woman. Airport police boarded the plane and spoke with the victim who was visibly upset and shaking, court records said. When police talked to Morris, he told them his “zipper had gotten stuck” and he was trying to fix it when it exposed his private parts. Morris was arrested and police found two plastic bags of cocaine, court documents stated. On April 1, a special agent with the FBI and an agent with the Department of Homeland Security interviewed Morris, who told authorities he wanted to apologize to the victim. Court records said Morris admitted to inappropriately touching himself in front of the woman. He also told the agents the cocaine was “old” and that he had not used it in a “while.”
  20. My putting went to shit. I couldn't get out of my own head thinking of everything except just hitting the ball with the correct pace on the correct line. I'd think about my hands, was the trail hand too open or closed, try to squeeze your trail pectoral muscle on the stroke, how much weight I had on lead foot (was it 60%, 70%?), looking at which dimple on the ball, worried about take away, was it too far inside, too far outside, etc. I was a mental mess. Then one day I tried something on the practice green to help with my lag putt but ended helping a ton with my mental approach towards putting. Maybe this may help someone. I practiced taking a putting stance and instead of putting, I would roll balls towards the hole. Now that's my putting stroke thought when putting the ball. Just think of rolling with my hands a ball to the hole. This makes me instinctively just think of the actual ball roll, line, and pace instead of all that other shit. Now if I can find something similar for my wedge game which has become complete mental shit.
  21. I wonder how much the city paid for this artwork under Redbud Trail bridge. NSFW.
  22. They'll bitch when a disaster happens and they want Austin services to help/protect them.
  23. Travis CAD election results. Zimm loses again. https://www.kut.org/politics/2024-05-05/austin-travis-county-property-taxes-tcad-may-4-2024-election-results Three candidates backed by the local Democratic Party won seats to the Travis Central Appraisal District’s board of directors, who help manage property appraisals. Jett Hanna, Shenghao 'Daniel' Wang and Dick Lavine soundly defeated three others backed by the local Republican Party on Saturday, including Matt Mackowiak, chair of the party in Travis County, and Don Zimmerman, a former Austin City Council member.
  24. Does he have to pay the bills if he's in prison? https://www.newsweek.com/husband-unable-pay-medical-bills-kills-wife-her-hospital-bed-police-1897475 Husband Unable to Pay Medical Bills Kills Wife in Her Hospital Bed: Police "The defendant advised he had attempted to kill the victim two other times while the victim was hospitalized," the court documents read. "The defendant advised he last attempted to kill the victim while the victim was at a rehabilitation facility for her medical issues. He advised at that time he tried to choke her but could not follow through with it. The defendant advised the victim woke up and told him not to do that again. The defendant advised he was going to try to kill the victim another time, but he did not get the opportunity due to the fact the victim was hooked up to several monitors at the hospital. The defendant advised he was depressed and killed the victim because he could not take care of her anymore and he could not pay the medical bills that had been acquired."
