Woodchippers are four stroke. Most probably have a V-twin similar to a riding lawnmower.

You could totally hotrod the hell out of it, however. Just like racing gokarts, you could run nitrous or a turbo.

If you don’t already work in a trade, you’d likely have a bright future as a skilled blue collar worker. Your vocabulary would allow you to perform the deep magic.

“Chemical Irritant” - I’m guessing CS or tear gas. Scanned the article and didn’t see it specified. Strange way to state things.

Note that use of CS and similar are banned under the Geneva Convention between armies. Used against civilians all the time by many governments.

Fuck the fucking pigs. Guilty until proven innocent at this point. I give game wardens and postal inspectors a pass, I guess.

I hope most of them die in a fire and it hurts the whole time.

I had a dear friend who was gang raped by sheriff’s deputies. I reckon that’s just an anecdote.

That sounds terrible. I’ll definitely give it a try.

I’ve had raccoon, which was terrible. Never had the chance to try cat.

Sea cucumber is supposed to be a delicacy, but never had it. Sea urchin is amazing in my experience, but someone here on Lemmy said it was awful. It may be a preparation or freshness issue. I’d like to try sea cucumber.

I’ve never had cat, but have heard that mountain lion is really good. Supposedly, during WWII, lots of house cat was eaten in the UK and was called roof rabbit.

What kind of cat did you have and what were the circumstances?

I read her statement. Still crazy as a shithouse rat and a true beliver of terrible and stupid things.

It didn’t really explain why she’s resigning. Just that the other kids won’t stop picking on her and the principal is really mean.

I’ve been wondering the same thing and haven’t seen reporting yet on who the victims are or their families. I figure there’s a decent chance that they are running drugs. Or, at least some of them are.

That being said, I’d totally run drugs if it was the only way to feed my family or they were being threatened. Just like the labor that farms coca, low level workers are mostly ethically blameless in my view.

That shit has to be terrifying, going out in a little boat knowing a military ship may blow you up. Their poor families have to live with the fear as well. Even worse is if they’re doing it under threat.

It’s the whole Pablo Escobar thing, I could give a fuck less if he gets whacked. However, that doesn’t mean some family trying to survive on subsistence farming and growing coca for extra cash deaerves a hellfire missle.

Any reliable reporting coming out on all these boats and crews that are being blown up?

(The ‘Drug War’ has been blatantly evil for decades. We know there’s a good chance the official narrative is bullshit, and there certainly is no nuance.)

Are they fishing, smuggling, or both?

The English Offical Table of Drops for hanging. Helps prevent the head from popping off or doing the air run.

There really is no one in control. Not really. There are people and groups with spheres of influence and power. I wish there was an evil illuminati out there in control of things, at least it would be organized.

Best I can figure, most everyone is faking it. I’ve spent time with CEOs, military officers, rich people, big time evangelists. They’re mostly faking it, some even feel imposter syndrome like normal people do.

This isn’t to say that they don’t perpetrate great evil, but they’re also not superhuman or super intelligent. Many of them are of average intelligence at best. They’re just lucky or lack morals as we know them, reframing their moral system to excuse their actions. Everyone is the hero of their own story even when they are corrupt to the core. Hitler was a dog lover and vegetarian.

All this to say, there is no silver bullet for cancer. There is no magic carburator invented in the '70s that gets 100mpg. There is no over unity generator that will provide free power. Somebody would steal those secrets and sell them for millions.

I half expect that the insurance companies will run the numbers on end of life costs and maintenance costs of disability and still cover the standard schedule of vaccines. Deaths/crippling get expensive enough and they may even require vaccinations to keep insurance.

The wingnuts in question here likely believe the antivaxx shit, or see enough politcal advantage in parroting it that it has resulted in this. In some sense, the GOP has been too successful, now they are married to the lunatic fringe and have members from that fringe. They’re stuck on this ride as well. Hope they choke on it.

A conspiracy like that would require a level of organization that isn’t present.

It’s willful ignorance and cultic tribalism gone real bad.

They really believe there is a vaccine conspiracy that causes autism and is being used for mind control or whatever.

Jesus fucking a goat.

If this goes on for long there will be so many dead or crippled children. So many dead people. It won’t stay constrained to Florida. This will put immunocompromised people at risk all over the country. Herd immunity is fucked.

Also, if it lasts long, expect other willfully ignorant states to do the same.

Fuck, I’m tired.

You’re probably right, I think the rib one got recycled a few times.

@[email protected] is making sense here. Throw the book at him and maybe have a psych eval done. Republican, so might as well check his computer for child porn.

That being said, spiking a kids ice cream with ecstasy pills makes no sense. It tastes awful, they would be hard to chew and an obvious foreign object in ice cream. If the girls didn’t OD, they’d be bouncing off the walls.

I could see someone that doesn’t actually know anything about drugs thinking this is a good way to frame someone. In reality, Drugs Are Really Expensive, as well as MDMA users/dealers generally not being willing to hurt children for nothing.

I remeber that one. Also, Richard Gere and the hamster, Marilyn Manson and the rib. The satanic panic about D&D and metal played backwards.

I’ve got the perfect inscription for his tombstone:

Rest in piss, motherfucker.

Pee Wee German

Jeebus. That’s fucking wild.

This summer has been like summers when I was a kid. I’m a few hundred miles north of where I was.

(Neighbors look at us like we’re crazy when working outside in the mid 90s, humidity is only like 60-70%.) Heat tolerance is a superpower, apparently.
