now we are all learning that “Minnesota Nice” was a fucking sham.

Yeah, what church doctrine says and what the people in the pews actuality believe have never been in sync with each other.

There’s a great NPR article about a doctor who is making people “disabled” because they can’t get a job due to...lack of education.

Saw this elsewhere:

The pipeline is +90% complete. The only part not finished is the area being protested. When (not if) it is completed it’ll carry half the production of one of the top oil producing states in the country.

Right, because peaceful protestors throw molotov cocktails and burn vehicles.

They’ve locked the people out of the process completely, using a completely inappropriate (an totally illegitimate IMHO) tactic to avoid the kinds of mandatory consultation and environmental assessment that forced this same project to reroute over safety concerns for white people in Bismark.

The pipeline is 90+% complete. Even if DAPL goes bankrupt, another company will snach up the pipeline at fire sale prices and finish it.

Right, because it would be impossible to put a pressure sensor in the suction cup system that would set off the alarm.

I’m sure they’ll gladly take your money to replace the windshield. Then call the cops to collect a reward.

Or, they just send the ~$500 replacement bill to collections and have them harass the registered owner of the car.

He might not be, but I’d still grab him by the face mask and give that mustache a workout.

Oh, thats super easy.

Seconded.

I assume ATL is like Minneapolis, you scream a catch phrase (Geronimo, Cowabunga, kamayamaya, If I’m goin out I’m taking you fuckers with me, etc) at the top of the onramp as you pin the throttle?

My SO has a 13 Grand Caravan as a delivery van for his shop. He has 2 issues with it:

All of the things that I mentioned are atrocious, but in the absence of anything else, they would not violate a law.

No, in most places that would be considered “Disorderly Conduct”. In most places thats an arrestable low level offense.

Modern non handheld radars don’t really tie into the squads vss any more. They use a multi beam antenna. It shoots a low power beam at the road about 20 feet infront of the squad and collects vehicle speed data from that. Another higher powered beam is projected out to collect “target” speed data.

It’s not about saving money.
