My mom wasn’t feeling well last night, thought she had heartburn. Her husband woke up to her barely breathing and unresponsive this morning. They think she had a heart attack but they’re running tons of tests. She’s still unresponsive though so that’s not a good sign. I was going to drive the 11 hours home but as I was driving past the airport I figured I’d check for a flight and got one. I couldn’t book online so I naturally had to pay extra and the person got my last name and birthday wrong. I’m glad I didn’t try to go through security first. I have to sit here for a few hours but I’ll get there about 3 hours sooner.

gently caress. That's horrible man.

We're also all getting older and after 30 our testosterone levels start going down. Get a blood test and see your GP or endocrinologist, see if you can't get a prescription for testosterone gel or shots.

That article seems to be implying they were paying him to create a piece of art for the museum, and he just :effort:ed them. What I've seen elsewhere said they were loaning him physical cash to be arranged in some way as part of the art exhibit. Either way, good on him, couldn't symbolize working in the modern world better.

Emirati SOF has a lot of the same toys and aesthetics that US SOF does and it would make a lot more sense for them to be doing overt presence patrols in that city than it would for the US.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure JSOC would want to be concentrating on AQAP in the ungoverned areas, rather than jump into the Houthi/Saudi coalition war.

Why the gently caress does the highway patrol have a digital forensics unit jfc defund these fucks

Sometimes Highway Patrol is also another name for State Police / State Troopers.

All state level police agencies have investigators (detectives) and / or civilian support staff specialists that work on stuff dealing with computers, whether its normal poo poo like going through a murder suspect's hard drive or phone, or heinous poo poo like going through a pedo's hard drive or phone.

Bag on regular cops all you want, but dealing with child abuse crimes is horrendous on people's mental health, and it's good that there are units investigating and prosecuting poo poo like that.

a lot of it isn't even illegal, it's a good example of regulatory capture combined with regulation lagging technology: amazon and google just stick something in the EULA about selling data to third parties and the cops buy it from those third parties in stead of sending a subpoena - it's both cheaper and faster than The Process

Oh boy it seems we’re talking about illegal police surveillance. Well hey you might think, it’ll be tossed in court.

If you think that need to google “DEA NSA parallel construction.” Somehow, it’s totally okay if you “find” it a different way according to courts even if you found it illegally first. You don’t even have to worry about that illegal search even getting before a judge in practice, anyway! Since that’s all TS/SCI sigint stuff and not direct evidence they don’t even have to show a judge! Very cool and normal for a democratic society with civil rights.


Yeah, this is some hosed up poo poo.

Investigators often use open source info for investigations - they'll pay websites for people's info, even if all they have is a name, or an address, a license plate, or phone number. It's legal for anyone to pay those kinds of websites to get that kind of info (except for the license plate stuff). That's normal every day poo poo that happens all the time.

They also have pre-written forms to apply for warrants to phone companies, Google, Apple, or any provider - all they have to do is change / add a few things in the document. That I don't have a problem with, as long as they get a warrant.

What I do have a problem with is them creating fake cell towers to ping someone's phone, doing Centra Spike / Grey Fox / ISA type poo poo in planes or cars like they're taking down Escobar or terrorists in Iraq. To me that's not a capability that police should have, unless there are very stringent controls and involves getting warrants, and even then, only in situations like kidnappings or violent offenses. And snapping up protester info shouldn't be allowed at all. Without restrictions, that's a slippery slope to further eroding our already eroded civil liberties.

State, local, and even federal law enforcement agencies shouldn't have the capabilities of the NSA or ISA.

I subbed to her OF after the whole thing blew up in the news and DMed her recommending that she should get a financial advisor / planner that is a fiduciary if she didn't already have one. She said that she had one and that she knows the level of income she has probably won't last forever, but with the right investments over a few years she could be raking in the dough. She's smart as hell and is absolutely set for life because one loving idiot forgot to use his regular Twitter account.

November 3rd is New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen on concealed carry in NY state, that's all the Supreme Court has currently agreed to hear on guns this term so far. The SC turned away a case about a felon complaining he couldn't have guns and got charged for having one (Wisconsin law) and a pile of others. No more have been docketed, even when Kavanaugh was yelling at the other justices about it, presumably about the constitutional right to shoot guns while drinking beer.

I'm not sure I particularly want NY State / NYC to suddenly have concealed carry shall-issue status. They should stick to assaulting each other with their middle fingers and superior bagels.

NYC will still make it expensive and difficult, and most upstate counties that are may issue almost always give out unrestricted (CCW) permits. It's only the city and Long Island that are the big douchebags.

Last night, I was walking home with Apollo from hanging out with friends and crossing a quiet residential street in the crosswalk when two cars- one a cab- decided they didn't want to wait for someone to finish dropping their friend off so they swerved around and ran a stop sign, coming so close to hitting us that I was actually able to kick the side of the first car as it went by. Then I jumped back and yanked on Apollo's leash to avoid the cab, and the driver actually yelled "gently caress you cracker" at me as he went by. Putting aside the ridiculousness of someone using that term as an insult in TYOOL 2021, I've never been so loving angry in my life. If either driver had responded to me screaming "PULL OVER MOTHER FUCKER" I'm absolutely positive that I would have attacked them with anything I could have grabbed as a weapon, consequences be damned. I've never come so close to being killed by a car, and the callousness in how they did it was absolutely horrifying. I woke up angry this morning, which is a feeling that I hate. I hope that the next time either of those drivers gets behind the wheel, their trip ends in a single-car fireball at the end of a bridge abutment.

It seems like there's been a real uptick in aggressive and reckless driving since the pandemic. I dunno if it's people still thinking that the roads are empty so they can do what they want or people just internalizing "lol nothing matters" or whatever, but pedestrian/cyclist deaths are up this year in my city, and it's just pretty awful in general. Not saying that's what happened in the tragic scooter case you're posting about, but man, I loving hate a lot of drivers a lot of the time.
A large part of it has to do with the issue of cops pulling back and not being as proactive as they were. They do this because they are either ordered to become of Covid, or were ordered to for any reason, but also because they're butt hurt over people hating them now so they think "what's the point in being proactive if I'm just going to open myself up to lawsuits or jail." Also many cities have passed laws that explicitly state that cops can not pull people over for minor traffic violations. So it's a combination of all of that that leads to a huge decrease of traffic stops in some areas.

In some areas there are now explicit orders that cops cannot pursue a vehicle either at all, or unless it is a murder or rape suspect. So rear end in a top hat criminals just speed away and get away with driving like a lunatic, because the cities passed those laws.

...I've never tried the Costco offerings, but am very familiar with the Snake River Farms American Wagyu products, and I would have to say all their beef exceeds Prime. There are several domestic providers offering American Wagyu, but Buyer Beware: the meat and seafood industry is rife with shady actors and practices that skirt the edges of ethics by exploiting "marketing labels" and the ignorance of the buying public. Restaurants are the worst.

The USDA 1811s / OIG investigators bust counterfeit labeled meats quite a lot.
