@unlimited_ls Technically if the lens is flipped (mirror front camera setting) she could be in the passenger seat but not willing to show the driver is pretty good evidence she’s lying.

🚨NEW: Michigan judge berates woman for joining court Zoom call while driving and lying to him, "Do you think I'm that stupid?" Kimberly Carroll faced a default judgment over $1,921.85 for owing LVNV Funding $1,788.08 plus court fees The judge said, "You can not be driving ma'am. What are you doing?" Carroll responded, "I'm a passenger. I'll ask my driver to pull over." The judge asked, "Am I crazy or does it not look like you're driving that car?" Carroll said, "Left hand, right-hand side. I'm sorry." The judge said, "Now you're lying to me, right?" He also said, "Let me see the driver." Carroll said she needed permission from the driver, then exited the car. The judge said, "Do you think I'm that stupid?" He told his clerk to note that Carroll "was not available at the time and then was driving a car and telling the court she was not."

Seed oils: Are they even correlated with bad health? I assembled ALL of the available NHANES data and linked as much as possible of it to the National Death Index and found that... It's not. Seed oils aren't even correlated with problems.

You can’t post random numbers and expect people to understand it

@dsquaredfu @NoemiKhachian It’s just a bathroom. Close the door and piss in the one that’s designated for your sex, ffs

@NoemiKhachian It’s just a bathroom. Close the door and piss ffs.

@vw_chen @NoemiKhachian Stop with this moronic analogy.

@NoemiKhachian Saying this after getting off an airplane with its restrooms is something else.

@masterlongevity @NoemiKhachian How many people cram into an airplane stall? Stop trying to use that moronic analogy as if it makes sense. It’s not male cooties we are trying to avoid

@NoemiKhachian This is not true. There are are male and female bathrooms all over SFO. Btw, you might have noticed the airplane has” all gender” bathrooms

@dantypo I’m having a hard time finding help for my house projects. The legitimate companies aren’t interested bc it’s too many small jobs, not whole remodel. The handymen I’ve had looked at it are too questionable to hire or kept flaking on planned days when I did hire

Anyone who knows me knows that I support the trades. But MANY in the trades greatly overvalue their work. Real World Example: I had a young g guy starting out in plumbing. I needed a new well pump. It was in the basement, and NOT in the casing. I told him I’d buy the pump and he could just do the instal. He said he’d take at most 2 hours and said he’d swing by and do it as a job to fill a gap in his schedule. Told me $500. I figured that’d be about $50 in travel both ways and $200 an hour. More than fair. He did the job and said, “That was more work than I figured. I probably should have charged you $1,000.” I asked, “well did you have to buy anything else… did it take more than 2 hours?” He said no and so I simply said, “You just made $250 an hour on filler work… $500 for a 3 hour work day including travel and you didn’t buy any parts. That’s a pretty good day. How many people do you think can just throw $500 at you for 2 hours of work?” Another plumber recently came out to quote replacing 2 faucets in our employee bathrooms. Including labor and material, he quoted $1,600. The faucets were $70 bucks each. So I asked how long he thought it would take. He said 2 to 3 hours. So I said, “let’s just say travel is an hour… you think your labor is worth $500 an hour!?” I asked him how much it was to come give me the estimate, and he said it was no charge. I gave him a $50 and told him that his price was laughable. I did it myself in like 30 minutes. My point isn’t that time and knowledge isn’t money. I appreciate that maybe these little jobs are “beneath” them. But that’s what filler work is. But I get the feeling some of these guys want to make their week’s money in a few hours. The second guy could have got the job if he’d have quoted me $750. It’d have cost him maybe $150 in parts, and including travel he could have made $325 an hour.

@jeff_of_norwich Highly discouraged to take all 2 weeks at once so we strategically coordinate vacation days with automatic holiday Mondays off so we get 3 day weekends, Xmas to New Year’s off, etc.

I refuse to believe that Americans only get two weeks off a year That's bloody criminal You should get at least five, NOT including public holidays

@Econosave @jennineak Btw- I went to the Grand Canyon knowing I had an issue with heights with no barriers. I thought the Grand Canyon would have some kind of barrier along the edge. It doesn’t and almost had a panic attack until I got to a section with log fencing. Then went right up to the edge.

@Econosave @jennineak You implied she deserved to be abandoned because she maliciously threw his camera off a cliff. The article says she accidentally dropped it. So you made up a story in your head to excuse that a-hole’s actions.

this is kind of surreal to me, who the fuck would do this to anyone

@PolitiBunny I tried to get a replacement SS card recently via the website and it required I go to the social security building downtown St Paul to prove myself to get it. Wouldn’t just send it in the mail. I’m all for voter ID but we have to stick with facts for the argument.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out. Here's how it went: 1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14. 2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0. 3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5. It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops. Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID. I know you guys knew that already... lol

@BurninTRanch Had to take the bus for 7/8/9 grades. HATED IT. If I wasn’t at the beginning of the route, the other kids were terrible to me. One time, I sat on my books in the aisle bc no one would let me sit w/them. Made me sit on chocolate pudding another time. Spit on me.

When I was in grade school (late 70’s, early 80’s) students that lived within 2 miles of the school had to walk. No bus services were available. Can you imagine that today? Oh how things have changed. 🤬

@Eponine1973 @BurninTRanch I lived across the street from the elementary school. In 6th grade was able to go home for lunch. It really was something to be jealous of. Even had a local kid’s show to watch while I ate! But later I walked a steep hill mile to high school rain/shine/snow so evened out.

@BurninTRanch Yes! We called them "walkers". And the ones that lived REALLY close to the school went HOME for lunch every day. I was super jealous of those kids.

@BurninTRanch It was 1 mile in my town and buses for over a mile in the 70s but the point is the same. We didn’t have a million cars lined up at the end of the school day

@numbertalker @BurninTRanch Minnesota had a 1 mile walk rule in the 70s. Rarely got a snow/cold day off. My mom and older sister had to walk to school in winter wearing a skirt in the 1950s/60s

@BurninTRanch im guessing cold climates have had more generous policies. a hundred children died in a blizzard in North Dakota in the late 1800s. we weren't going to let that happen again

@cremieuxrecueil IMO, if they knew people can get glp-1 meds on our own outside of the medical system, they would be pro grey market glp-1s. I think it’s about being free to try/do things on their own.

It's worth noticing that the crowd that supports ivermectin and failed to hype things that actually worked for COVID also seems to hate Ozempic. Perhaps they just don't like drugs that work.

@BasedScience @cremieuxrecueil You shouldn’t believe anything RFK jr claims. He’s a class action lawsuit lawyer. It’s been his entire career creating bogus problems about valuable tech to create a money-making opportunity

@cremieuxrecueil jfk warned about ozempic x.com/RobertKennedyJ…

@hollymoon01 @MuseZack Why aren’t they trying to hump her?

@MuseZack False alarm guys—the German Shepherd was a girl in heat. She snapped her chain and escaped, dragging every male dog in the village out onto the highway with her 😂

Chinese social media is already doing movie posters for the seven heroic dogs…

@joerussotweets There’s no true IMAX theater near the Twin Cities

Please tell me again how your home theater is better than a movie house.
