The order noted that the court was acting on its own initiative and was not responding to a request from anyone

That’s a totally legitimate thing to say when nobody was really asking all that. Totally.

Edit also from the article:

An FBI affidavit says Dugan was “visibly angry” over the agents’ arrival and called the situation “absurd” before leaving the bench and retreating to her chambers. It says she and another judge later approached members of the arrest team inside the courthouse with what witnesses described as a “confrontational, angry demeanor.”

After a back-and-forth with officers over the warrant for Flores-Ruiz, Dugan demanded they speak with the chief judge and led them away from the courtroom, the affidavit says.

After directing the agents to the chief judge’s office, investigators say, Dugan returned to the courtroom and was heard saying words to the effect of “wait, come with me” before ushering Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer through the jury door into a nonpublic area.

It needs to be noted that the same afadavit said that they the DEA agents that were acting on behalf of ICE also saw Flores-Ruiz in the public halway going to the the elevator that went to the parking garage. Where they followed Flores-Ruiz onto the public elevator… and watched him get off, and did not arrest him at any point. Instead they got off on the next level and ran up the stairs like dumbasses.

In short, the case is total bullshit.

oh. and apparently, the door that Flores-Ruiz used to leave the courtroom leads to a hall, which is public, that goes out to the main public hall (where the DEA agents spotted him,) and in a different direction, out to the private hall for juries.

I’m a little surprised that the AP is spewing the same bullshit that the trump admins are. fucking hell. read the damn affidavit already. pay some kid to be a corespondent for a day and look at the layout. It’s not rocket science.

and you think that’s an argument to spin up new factories? not really.

If the US collapses into complete fascism, everyone inside is either going to be cut off from the global market. for a foreign company, spinning up factories in the US, when, in four years, they might literally get those investments yeeted from them is stupid. and that’s really the best case.

I think Boston knows what they need to do. have a tesla party.

It certainly has nothing to do with the bribes.

I submit we should go to a d20, and say roll a nat 21.

with this die:

(sorry, if I don’t laugh, I’m going to cry.)

why? it costs millions of dollars to construct new factories. Maybe billions, depending on the industry. It takes 7+ years to bring a new factory online. more to get all the kinks worked out and at full production.

Trump is supposed to be in office for only 4 years, at best, after which his tariffs will go away. it would be easier to simply just not ship to the US. which is how trade partners responded to the Hawley-Smoot Act in 1930, and which made the Great Depression that much harder to get out of.

This time it’ll be teslas. Teaslas?

the recruiter should have vetted them better. Part of the reason to go through a recruiter is to avoid these things.

was it shipped by USPS? Then mark it “wrong address” and let them pick it up. if you want to go the extra mile, bring it to a post office.

If it was shipped by someone else, call them, they’ll probably come out. alternatively, they’re probably in your neighborhood. check for a shipping label with an address or something and walk it over.

if they confirm it was sent to your address. congratulations. free shit.

Has there been any conclusive study that shows raw feeding actually helps anything- and more importantly, helps enough to overcome the very real risks involved?

But what about elevenses?

Then consider investing in a brush and something like a Merkur 34C.

i had a really bad experience with the 34c. Basically the posts for the blade to ‘register’ to, allowed a relatively significant amount of play I’ve never seen in any other razor. This made seating it and using it at the ‘proper’ angle impossible- it also tended to make one side vastly more aggressive than the other, since a significant amount of blade was exposed on one side and not-enough on the other. (or worse, it was twisted so that on half the edge was too exposed and the other half was not, on both sides the blade.)

maybe they fixed it, but, I sort of doubt it.

the alchohol is there to kill to the bacteria- which is the immediate cause of acne. most aftershave splashes will also include some glycerin to re-moisturize the skin.

if you don’t want a scented product, you can do IPA and then some aftershave balm instead.

depending on how hot one’s water comes, soaking in faucet-hot water is enough here. just squeze out most the water first. if one does microwave… gotta be careful as the heating may be uneven. another option is an electric kettle (as for tea,) in the bathroom.

so, how quickly does the acne show up after shaving? are you sure it’s not irritation from shaving itself?

some general advice for sensitive skin:

• use facial cleansers as part of the pre-shave routine (and maybe also after if it is indeed acne. this will remove whatever product is causing the clogged pores as well as the bacteria)
• use a non-gel shaving cream. (or any goop-in-a-can.) instead use something you have to whip up. (I’m not sure what you mean by ‘oat based’ there’s both the goop-in-a-can versions, and poraso has a cream-in-a-tube of the stuff.) (in extreme cases you would want something unscented as well.)
• use cold water, both for the rinse and whipping the cream.
• use a hot towel to open up your skin’s pores. -use a fresh, clean and sharp razor every time. I would also suggest if you haven’t already, getting a sample back of many different brands of blades.
• rinse with cold water, and apply an alum block (and rinse again,) (the styptic pencils aren’t very good. you want a smooth block of alum.) also, in this vein, check your safety razor. when seating a new blade, there should not be any real play with the cap off. the blade should pull into a seat so that it’s constantly centered (and parallel!) on both sides the blade. I found the often-recommended “entry level” Merkur 34c to be horrible in this regard. I now use a Muhle closed comb (if you look at the prongs the blade registers against, they’re more conical to the merkur’s straight pillars, as you tighten it just centers the blade perfectly.)
• use a product with witch hazel in it, I use a post shave balm by thayers which is lightweight and moisturizing as well. this soothes further irritation and mends the dehydration from everything else. pretty much any lightweight post-shave balm will do. Again, look for something unscented.
• use an alcohol based aftershave. among other things, it’ll absolutely destroy the bacteria involved in causing acne. something like eucalyptus green if you want to limit scents (it fades quickly,) but anything traditional aftershave splash will do.

Only if Wesley did a crayon drawing of Picard for art class.

Maybe they mean a rugby ball.

(Sorry, couldn’t resist. )

The walk of shame.

Pretty sure quokka employ musks old PR team.

Cuz like they’re gonna try and kill everyone. Just you watch.

Don’t buy the propaganda! They’re tyrants!

They’re plotting world domination!

The cuteness is just an act! Hide your grandma!

I’m putting that number on a list for “yes please call me so we can talk about if Surfak is right for me”.

I really hope it’s yours. You evil person you.
