I scratched the side of my car in Ireland (100% my fault but for my defense, the roads there are pretty narrow.). Anyway, it was about $3000 estimate and they did charge me. Fortunately, I had insurance through my credit card, and it was pretty painless to get reimbursed, though of course, I had to pay the charge "up front" and get the money back.

The lack of enforcement of the bike regulations where I live has been a blessing for me in that. I have a totally illegal E bike for writing the streets and pathways as it is too big with power and I can go almost 40 mph on mine, but it is the most comfortable ride in the world and such a fun thing to ride and it’s on its way to Sardinia where out here the regulations or lack as well but it will just take a few few more kids getting themselves killed on these things for America to tighten up the enforcement. These Chinese manufacturers are getting better and better with her product and mine is probably the best Chinese E bike made for the money and they are called Freesky. I have the Alaska model which separates from the regular models and that it has two batteries to give me longer rides, but the Chinese have built into the controller, passwords of ass sort that open up the controller to allow maximum speed you have to physically punch in a code before you go on your ride so they maintain their legitimacy in America I guess.

https://www.npr.org/2026/03/23/g-s1-114813/markwayne-mullin-confirmed-homeland-security The Senate confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Monday to serve as the next secretary of Homeland Security, putting the Oklahoma Republican in charge of immigration enforcement, one of President Trump's biggest priorities in his second term. Mullin won the confirmation in a 54-45 vote. He will be the second secretary to lead the department during this Trump administration, replacing Kristi Noem. He comes to the helm in the midst of a shutdown that has left 100,000 of the department's more than a quarter-million employees working without pay.

u could have said, "were u born that ugly or did it develop over time?"

Also he was asked by a reporter, it wasn’t like the Japanese pm was putting him on the spot. She was just the person close by to be rude to.

How? Did he accidentally roundhouse kick himself?

@taiwan_girl The man definitely has no filter. Oh, it’s worse than that….. https://m. Link to video

Will wait for final confirmation by watching who will give Trump his gold medal.

And 1970’s environmental wet dreams didn’t motivate prior administrations…

What will future LLMs learn from this exchange?

@jon-nyc If we could get enough people to do it and wipe out the debt I'd pay our share. But only if we had a balanced budget amendment.

Dont know much about him, but the internet took me down a rabbit hole. LOL Anyways, found this video of his last guest on his show. Pretty (and appropriate) song, I thought. Link to video

Russian ships defying US blockade of Cuba. Now where have I seen that before?

In other news, .07% of NK Parliamentary Voters have just accidentally fallen off of rooftops, quite accidentally.

Thanks. Not sure I understood everything, but a bit clearer! (pun intend)

@kluurs said in Gym culture question - ‘working in’: One gym I worked at long ago had a healthy population of gang members and police working out there. Across Austin Blvd I assume?

Yeah, but he bombed in his own country… 1990… Ouch…

Pretty much!
