Oh wow, that’s crazy. I don’t know enough of Norristown other than the [obviously small] part I saw, and whatever I’ve heard in the news when someone was murdered there or something.

I was using PS2's for Pascal programming in early high school. At home, we had the Commodore 64C, and we played around with BASIC and machine language. You can only have 7 sprites on a screen! ;)

Some can be, I believe, but no one does that anymore. Especially if you’re considering all of the weight that is part of a toll gantry; there is tons of equipment up there. I work around that industry, though I’ve never seen one as big as either of those that he showed. I think the largest I have seen is around 177',…

And that’s just hilarious, considering I once helped a friend move his sister to an apartment in Norristown, and I watched, from her window, like 10 drug deals on the 3 street corners there, and 3 high-speed car chases right up the street. No way that dude lives in Norristown; probably more like Chester/Bucks where…

I believe I said “$3500.” That seems about right.

Crack Pipe. I don’t care what the market is, this is robbery. I wouldn’t pay a dime over $3500 for it; yes, even though it’s a Toyota. But I DO like it.

Amazing southern accents, too. Yeehaw!

I met him at the Phoenix race track a couple of times as part of a national guard recruiting event. Meaning, I was already in the guard but my recruiter and I got along really well and became friends and he hooked me up.

PA here; can confirm. Pennsyltucky is real, man.

I know, but shitty doesn’t mean illegal unfortunately. It would be cool if they all said no at once, but nobody’s going to be that guy.

I disagree with your nit, and didn’t your mama ever tell you not to ever pick those!?

Sorry, feeling bitchy since Covid started.

I could probably find more, but I think we both get it. That is precisely what I wanted (sorry you had to appease me like that).

For civilians? No. For police procedures and use of force escalation during times of protest and civil unrest? Yes, most absolutely likely. You’re in the wrong section of code, look for something closer to this (sorry, I don’t have time to comb it right now): https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.06

Yeah, what you said. Literally. Part of my issue has been my work (as always for the past 5+ years - been there 19 years). I am a salaried slave. my first two 2-week timecards on Covid were 122 hours, and 129 hours respectively. Had one 2-week period that let up for an easy 90-hour period, and shit just started…

“All of this seems like a case study in the stock market making exactly zero sense.”

Huh? So you followed your loosely-termed “oath?” Good on you. Shouldn’t everyone who takes one?

It really wasn’t that hard to find.

Sometimes your hot takes are correct, even if not popular. That’s a tough little group to be in around these parts! Everything is always blanket statements and all or nothing. You know, completely unlike life itself.
