DC snipers began devolving in my little town, Ashland VA. I was in the YMCA working out the night they came and got a shower, just before they shot the guy at the Ponderosa.

BUT, this one was so senseless and hit home as the Harvey house was right next to the mountain bike path I rode all the time. It felt really weird riding there afterward. Knowing those little girls died like that.

These assholes just walked right into these peoples house on NYD, who were busy prepping their house for a party they held every year.

Here's a similar fraud story here in RVA, local Dem cheating people (sadly, disadvantaged women and children) out of thousands.

WRIC News article on public frand sentencing

Funny thing is, the local news channel WRIC posts some of these articles on Facebook. For laffs I decided to wade into the comments. A shocking number of local idiots think this woman is a Republican operative of the Trump Admin. Some people are so dumb.
LIved in Chas SC suburbs the first few years in mid 70's. Had lots of friends from school activities, sports and worked in a gas station in another HS district (Goose Creek) so I got to know all those baws / gals.

My airman workmate always had a duffel bag of good weed (Columbian Gold, Panama Red, etc.) they flew up. I sold ounces for $35 and I was quite popular. I also was 6'2 at 15 and could buy beer if I wore my uniform.

Friday nights were football games then the parties out at various boat ramps, parks. Street racing our hot rods. Taking chicks out to the field next to the airport. Or drive-in movies with a crowd - park in the back. Saturday night was sneaking beers watching my dad and his friends race at Summerville Speedway.

Then moved to Natchitoches Parish before senior year. Met a good group with jobs, money, a few hot cars. Friday nights were cruising the strip, hitting the two drive-thru daquiri / liquor stores, and meeting up in the Walmart parking lot (Walmart was like a Roses back then). Then we'd all decide where out in freakin country we'd meet up for a campfire and more shenanigans.

Now it's date night for the hot nurse and I. Still have a good time with friends in the bars and then out in the woods.
Every night before bed, for anywhere from 3-4 mins to 20-30 mins. Dependent on how tired out I am.

Primarily fiction but also bios, history, psych, politics, Pulitzers, you name it.

Best are stories by Connelly, Kellerman, CJ Box. Authors that paint scenes with their words to help my brain slow down and crash.

The taxpayers on NC should hit her up for the wasted tax dollars they spent looking for her all these years.
Not to mention US taxpayers: I'm guessing the husband had her declared dead and the family received SS survivor benefits for years.

She should have to pay us back.
Yep, after I joined / progressed in Toastmasters I became painfully aware how poorly most people on the planet talk / communicate.

Especially under pressure.
quote:

the male students would have ensured he left the building feet first.
Not the smart males these days, especially in a super woke place like Oregon.

They know all the white women would come to "its" defense and the boys would get doxed / expelled / lives ruined. For something most women support. Phuck that.

Let them defend themselves from what they created.
quote:

know someone laid off directly bc of AI?
No, promoted.

I retired back in 2024. My tech lead of the robotics/automation practice / platform I implemented at a fortune 100 company (ended up with 60-75 bots) was promoted bc of AI. We did such a good job w the automation program my lead was called into the CEO / CIO's offices and "voluntold" to lead the corp rollout of Copilot and Claude.

Six months later, he's stressed out as his current mgmt sucks, wishes I was still there. I briefly had remorse that I'm not there in the thick of things, learning, planning, executing.
My wife was widowed before she met me. After she had received insurance $$, she was talked into loaning this cousin of her husband's $5,000 to keep his paver / landscaping biz afloat. This was like 20 years ago. A chunk of change.

I got wind of this and convinced my soon to be wife to file suit, which she won.

We settled a few years ago when he covered the labor install of our 2,500 sf outdoor patio and kitchen.

Best advice, don't do it. But if you, make it a loan agreement with a signed contract, interest rate, penalties, etc.
No, not in this day and age. My ex was a liberal back in the 90's, raised that way by her federal bureaucrat mom (Ph.d, she knows it all - just ask her).

She supported women's rights, etc., but we NEVER discussed politics because she knew I follow policy closely and could blow away any of her arguments easily. She didn't follow news whatsoever.

Now, years later she has TDS and has gone over the edge. in raising our son she's mentioned concern about him listening to Andrew Tate and "toxic masculinity" online. Of course, she knows that's just inviting a lecture from me on "toxic feminism".

Leftist women are different these days. Activists, militant, TDS-infected. It's sad, but save yourself grief - stay away from them.

It only feels 'not worse' right now because LSU got the better end of it in the portal.
THIS.

Just think of everybody else, 90% of other teams fans probably REALLY hate it.

Just think if you were a Clempsun fan. Their only decent player was pickpocketed from them at the last minute in Dabo's first serious attempt at using the portal. Now their piddlling 70th rated class looks up at us at number 1. Of course, some of their holier than thou fans need a little grounding so not completely a bad thing.

my comfortable little enclave.
I feel the same way about my small farm here in Virginia. It's close to everything I love (MTB park, hiking, paddling, music, shooting, etc.) while I've got lots of space.

BUT, the newly elected Va Dems have proposed 50 new tax increases, even though the outgoing Repub admin is leaving a 2.7 billion dollar surplus. This includes additional taxes on investment income. And I just retired. Phuckers.

I've already started talking to the wife about moving to Tennessee if this place turns into NY or Ca.

More like 42-10 LSU
Some Clempsun fans think it's gonna be a replay of their 37-3 season opening loss to Georgia a few years ago.

But most of them, the deluded cult Dabo worshippers all think they are gonna march down to Baton Rouge with their superior coaching and morality and shock the slimy, cheating Lane Kiffen and his inbred Cajuns.
I was in the Comp Sci program at LSU, working selling computers on Florida Blvd, on a lunch break to get another Stephen King book at the EBR library on Goodwood. They had the news playing on a TV near the entrance. Unreal.

Shite, have to add the hot nurse's story: she was 17 and swimming off the dock of her house with her friend Jennifer in Cape Coral FL.

They saw the explosion.

Was doing > 100 on the Nakatrash bypass in the below Mustang (in my shop now). I was following a friend in a LT1 Camaro. Weed and beer was involved invariably. He suddenly swerved onto the paved shoulder. I couldn't see what was in front of him so I followed.

Someone was turning left into the Holiday Inn out there.

Had 2 other people in the car with me. If I hadn't swerved, us and other people would be dead. Dumb kids.

Ribs, pizza, chicken potato chowder, pasta w spicy beef, fresh green beans, a shite load of cookies.

she's basically earned the right to perform as long as she wants
Yeah no. My wife and her friends went to see her a year or two ago and will never make that mistake again.

She was two and a half hours late starting - just walked out and proclaimed "Oh well...I'm the queen". On top of that, show was supposedly underwhelming as she played mostly new songs the ladies had never heard.
That was the best recruit clemson had.

Without that dude, there are 247 portal class drops to 65th.

Poor dabo...riding the roy bus again.

My bestie is dating a MAGA man. Bless his heart.
Don't worry about him. He'll tire of her fairly quickly and move on to the next piece / conquest.
200K ain't shite.

They'll spend all that in one night at the crab boil place with drinks (but no tips).
As a corp tech manager, I was always on call except when on vacation. So, 24 / 7, the central help desk could call and I'd have to get on the phone, online, rally the troops and fix stuff. Could be 20 mins, could be hours. Sometimes have to drive to the office.

Didn't get paid anything beyond my salary. But I was responsible, regardless.
