  • No, this is what happens when you (a) have a "allowed until proven unsafe" regulatory framework instead of a "prohibited until proven safe" one, and perhaps more importantly (b) abjectly refuse to consider any weed control method other than ones that can be accomplished by indiscriminate use of a sprayer.

  • I would, but that doesn’t work for stuff coming up through cracks in concrete, or through chain link fence.

    For that sort of stuff, I recommend vinegar or propane. lMO the only reason to use a fancy commercial herbicide is when you need it to be selective, e.g. when you're trying to get rid of broad leaf lawn weeds without killing the grass, too. (Edit: I'm not endorsing that as a good reason, BTW, as I'm more of a !nolawns@slrpnk.net sympathizer myself. I'm just saying that it's the only one that's even plausible.)

    FYI, you can tell Markdown what language your preformatted section is in so that it does syntax highlighting correctly -- or in the case of plaintext, not at all. Just put 'text' after the initial three backticks, like this:

  • Yep, but it's even more than that.

    American Christian Zionism is not a pro-Jewish policy. It is about (a) getting rid of the Jews by getting them to all go back to the Holy Land, and more importantly, (b) triggering the "End Times," for which the Jews returning to the Holy Land is a prerequisite. American Christian Zionists do not give a flying fuck about Jews; they're just delusional racist death-cultists who think they're gonna get "Raptured."

  • ...what? Being good off-road, or on bad roads, is [supposed to be] the entire point of SUVs.


    Edit: Okay, okay, I get it. Language changes and "SUV" doesn't mean what I want it to mean. I'm well aware that I'm No True Scotsman-ing, but that doesn't make me any less mad about it! 😠

    A truck maybe. Most SUVs are just big chunky road cars.

    SUVs are supposed to be trucks with seats in the cargo area!

    All the car-based junk they build these days aren't real SUVs, and shouldn't exist because they're objectively inferior to station wagons and minivans.

    Every SUV ought to be an acutally-off-road-capable one, and the only people who should buy them are ones who actually take them off-road.

  • It’s the newspaper doing an “allegedly” thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn’t actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.

    I don't think you're wrong, but I think we should stop to consider how fucking absurd that is on the newspaper's part. The entire fucking point of a criminal conviction is supposed to be that it's been proven beyond reasonable doubt that the perp did, in fact, do the thing he was convicted for. Libel is, by definition, no longer a valid consideration.

    A reporter continuing to use "allgedly" or other reported speech after that point isn't covering its ass; it's editorializing in favor of the perp or even sowing doubt about the validity of the rule of law.

  • Lock focus because auto focus for this kind of thing will almost always result in blurry photos

    I feel like people should do that a lot more often than they do, just in general. Especially when using a DSLR to make a video of a subject that isn't moving around much.

    (This is really just venting because I watch too many Youtube videos where they complain about the autofocus not working well.)

  • He had to ditch the deal then in order to manufacture an excuse to attack them now. This is what he wants.

    Credulous media excusing his warmongering by pretending it's some kind of mistake can fuck all the way off!
