@RichOToole You quickly learn that if something is called Texas BBQ it means they have brisket on the menu and no clue how to smoke it.

@mattbramanti For Arizona I’d have used Mexican Sushi, which is actually quite tasty but I have not had anywhere else.

@amuse @stucam7771 @grok Additionally the infrastructure only allows about 3 million barrels a month to be added. So it was going to take 6-8 years to refill what Biden dispersed at a minimum. This latest one extends this out further.

@stucam7771 @grok when Biden took office how many barrels of oil were in the SPR? How many were in the SPR when he left office? How much is in the SPR as of March 10, 2026? How much oil has Trump added to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve since starting his second term?

Fox News is saying that President Biden drained the US oil reserves. OK, IF this is true I have a question. Before starting a reckless war in the Middle East, why didn’t the Trump Administration check and replenish them…

@shipwreckedcrew Here in Arizona the amount that property tax is assessed against can go up each year is capped. This seems much more fair than Prop 13…

@DaddyWarpig You can actually do it safely, if you are willing to sous vide the chicken for a number of hours. The texture would still probably be horrible tho

@amuse @JohnLeFevre I did as well but my experience as a customer is different. I actually want my steak rare. But at chain steakhouses I order medium rare because I will eat anything from rare to medium. If I send back an underdone steak I’m getting back a hockey puck, or something still alive.

I worked as a waiter in college, and I always wanted to know when a table was not satisfied. Fixing a problem for a customer almost always resulted in a better tip. For many people, going out to a restaurant is not an everyday experience, and they deserve the best possible service and meal. If I took the order wrong, the kitchen made a mistake, or even if the customer misunderstood something, it was still my responsibility to make sure they left satisfied. It did not matter whether they were a regular or a tourist. My goal was 100% satisfaction. A few myths are worth clearing up. First, neither the kitchen staff nor the waiter literally or metaphorically “eats” the cost of a mistake. Second, if people knew how much food is wasted in restaurants, they would be shocked. The amount of food returned to the kitchen is trivial compared with what customers leave on their plates. Third, if the temperature of your meat does not matter to you, that is fine, but if you would enjoy the meal more the way you ordered it, give the restaurant a chance to fix it. Everyone benefits. You may have to wait a bit, but in most cases the kitchen can turn around a replacement quickly.

You don't just need fraudulent voter registrations. You need fraudulent paper ballots. A lot of them. And you're not gonna be able to have them printed on the right kind of security paper that the county's official ballots were printed on. And if anyone comes looking later? They're gonna finda shit-ton of county ballots printed and filled out and counted that are on the WRONG KIND OF PAPER. And then FBI/DNI, LEO & Intel federal agency forensic teams go to work and trace the SIZABLE PAPER ORDERS and the INK used to print those ballots on the WRONG KIND OF PAPER. There just aren't THAT MANY printing companies in the USA that can handle that kind of printing output. And tracing paper/ink orders of the handful of printing companies that have the machines to do it, ordered those types of paper and ink is easy peasy lemon squeezy.

The dots are connecting. The stolen 2020 election is being actively investigated criminally and is going to be fully exposed. It was a massive “conspiracy.” “The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News.” “The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.” Maricopa County is KEY to the stolen 2020 election. Q drop 2492 Nov 12, 2018 11:50:47 PM EST ARIZONA R Gov won by 328,000 votes. D Sen is winning by 32,000 votes. R Gov won MARICOPA County by 325,000 votes. D Sen winning MARICOPA by 32,000 votes? [350,000] vote swing to D Sen? Q There’s a reason why Maricopa became the one county in the entire country, that conducted a “forensic audit.” And if you think we’ve seen all the evidence from that audit, you would be mistaken. All that EVIDENCE still exists and the FBI is now gathering it. Here’s what’s interesting in this report by Just The News. “More recently, the bureau was alerted to a report filed by Republican and Democrat election observers who believed they observed irregularities in November 2024 at a warehouse in Arizona where blank and filled-out absentee ballots were observed in the same location, according to the sources.” Observers from both parties have testified to a warehouse where blank ballots and ballots that are already filled out, were being stored in the same location. But there’s more… “The sources said the joint report filed by one GOP and one Democratic observer who were in Maricopa County on election night 2024 included photos of the ballots and storage facility, which they described as heavily guarded and having ballots from multiple states’ elections.” Now why would a warehouse in Maricopa County, be the storage facility for ballots of multiple states elections? As I have said for a while now, our entire election system is corrupted and unconstitutional. The reason why Fulton County Georgia and Maricopa County Arizona are so important, is because of Stacey Abrams and her ballot registration drives in all the swing states. What are the odds that, Stacey Abrams was sharing voter registrations across “multiple states” in order to steal the 2020 election because Trump was winning by such a large amount. Someone made a panicked decision, to shut down vote counting in seven swing states “simultaneously” because Biden could not win. That’s when they inserted a massive amount of fraudulent ballots and counted the same ballots multiple times, while the election facilities were “supposedly” closed for the night. But if you are going to add a ton of fraudulent ballots, you are also going to need a ton of voter registrations. That’s where Stacey Abrams comes in. I believe she used fraudulent voter registrations across all seven swing states, in order to try and match counted ballots with actual registrations. It is going to be really easy to determine, just how many ballots and registrations are fraudulent and that will easily prove a “conspiracy” to steal the 2020 election and every election since. Our entire election system is about to be proven fraudulent and unconstitutional. And when you also prove that there was foreign interference, helping the democrats steal the election, it will become a “national security” issue. And remember this name: Runbeck. Runbeck is going to make another appearance in the narrative battle. Maricopa County basically offloaded their election system to Runbeck to avoid transparency.

One of the many problems with this post: - it assumes the election apparatus is one monolithic machine that can be rigged at one point. - in reality, elections are administered over 9,000+ voting jurisdictions across 50 states. - voter turnout was consistently higher in jurisdictions throughout the country. - that means that any sort of theory of fraud based in increased voter turnout would have to account for how that was achieved across thousands of jurisdictions. - of course @Milajoy , nor anyone else, has ever presented such a theory. - and they choose to ignore the very simple explanations that, (a) COVID meant that lots of people were sitting in their homes with nothing better to do than vote by mail, and (b) we had a highly polarizing sitting president.

@BradRTorgersen @DChadwickAuthor In Arizona we stay with standard time year round. Daylight would be worse. I suspect that the divide is based on latitude. The frozen tundra states in Yankee land would probably prefer year round daylight savings time.

@jondelarroz In your prompt, did you instruct it to ignore issues of diversity? The internet it’s trained on is, on average woke, but I’ve generally found it responsive to what I ask of it.

@BKJYK1287 His point was that Trump didn’t refill the SPR. That shit doesn’t happen overnight and it needs to be approved by Congress. Congress cannot even pass the fucking SAVE Act, which a majority of Americans support.

You forgot to mention that President Biden inherited 638 million barrels of crude oil in the SPR, then drained the reserves by 40% between 2021 and 2022 to combat rising gas prices. His SPR drawdown caused more than $100 million in structural damages to the storage facilities, and it will cost billions to fill it back up. Since the end of Biden's term and throughout Trump's second, it has been in a gradual recovery. I would agree that the situation with Iran isn't good for gas prices (since they are largely based on oil futures), but the fact that the SPR isn't filled isn't Trump's fault. Hopefully, this conflict is resolved within the 2-month window given (as promised), and isn't dragged out like all other Middle Eastern conflicts have been. If all goes well, gas prices should fall and this becomes largely a non-issue. If you're going to make things political, at least make it objective. The SPR not being filled was Biden's doing.
