The New Coffee Room

I guess at 2.3 10 wouldn’t feel crazy high, unless you’re walking backwards.

Trump is shielding the cash from selling seized oil by putting it in Qatari banks.

Again he’s shielding the Venezuelan assets from Us creditors, saying, and I quote, he was “not going to look at what people lost in the past, because it was their fault.”

Tell that to Trump who ‘pardoned’ an election fraudster in Colorado then punished the state (canceled a federal water project) for not honoring it.

My sister was a dispatcher aged 24 when 'The Gainesville Ripper' serial killer hacked up five co-eds about her age. The movie 'Scream' is based on him.

That freaked her out. She had details that no one sane wants to hear.

I wonder if, anywhere in the country, cops are trained that it’s ok to have your gun in one hand and your iPhone filming in the other. Seems unprofessional and dangerous.

For about two months I’ve been going back to the gym a second time at night to do a brisk 30m walk on the treadmill.

A couple things I’ve noticed.

• far more people walk briskly on them than run. And the correlation to age isn’t as strict as you’d think. Almost all older folk walk briskly, but so do most of the yoots.

• a relatively common thing is for young men to put the incline crazy high, like 10, but then hold on to the top of the machine while they walk or run. You’re missing the point guys. You’re not really doing 10. It reminds me of the same demographic that do shit form so they can say they did more weight. Great, so you ‘curled’ 100lbs by swinging your whole body wildly and getting it up. Yay.

@Horace said in ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis:

@jon-nyc

Tell the story in the abstract but put the guy in a hoodie rather than tactical gear and take away his badge.

Ok, let's imagine a black guy with a legal firearm in a group of black guys, doing something in a professional capacity. Imagine a person who does not like what they do for a living, driving amongst them trying to bother them as they go about doing their job that day. What do you think, would your reaction be the same?

For extra credit, imagine if the person bothering them, was racist?

Probably Trump and Bondi wouldn't have called the driver a domestic terrorist without an investigation.

I'm sure we can all stipulate that the goalposts of the discussion can be shifted.

Point is the guy in the hoodie has the same goalposts. Self defense doesn't have a special flavor for ICE employees.

When white smoke comes out of the feeder it means they're all getting high.

Cop have no right of self defense that you and I and the common man on the street don't have. Tell the story in the abstract but put the guy in a hoodie rather than tactical gear and take away his badge. DOn't leave out the part about two shots fired after the car had turned the corner.

Probably Trump and Bondi wouldn't have called the driver a domestic terrorist without an investigation. .

Not to be outdone.

If the 4000lb vehicle was heading for him killing the driver doesn’t stop it. Witness what actually happened - the truck kept moving and hit a car.

In FL.

So this morning, the xxxx Police Department walked in on a homicide in progress, two cops got shot, they're both OK, the suspect is dead, so that's two down for the day. Now they’re out with a woman who has gone crazy, drowned one of her kids, pepper sprayed the second kid, and is trying to kill herself.

We’re having a bit of a day.

Not bad

Poulemc’s concerto for two pianos.

I was only somewhat familiar with this piece. The larghetto is quite beautiful. I recommend it to everyone here when you have a half hour.
