Bunny hops are usually a lot farther apart. Could be fox prints; maybe it was hunting or listening for something in the tree if it’s hollow.

Me too, the Facebook files were a big deal in the first few weeks after his takeover too (once the overwhelming news about layoffs and brain drain subsided).

This guy hasn’t seen any of Biden’s early speeches on the senate floor. He has a distinct speech impediment. Stutter is a specific repeating of letter sounds in most people’s imagination, but it’s also a difficulty in “picking” words, which to many means longer pauses, or slowing speech to make is possible to talk without repeating sounds. There are lots of coping mechanisms they teach in speech therapy, and it’s well documented that Biden has always used them when speaking in public.

Unless Canada is better at stopping abusive police from just joining the police in next town, like what happens south of their border, don’t count on it.

Mercedes, VW and pretty much the rest of them cheated the sniffers by putting it in a clean mode when it was on the rolling road (probably by testing suspension travel and steering angles in the traction control software/hardware). They caught VW first with a mobile sniffer test under normal driving. Since then they found Volvo, Renault, Jeep and a bunch of others are doing similar bullshit.

Clean mode probably cut the power output in half and would have made them drive like the non-turbo diesels of yore.

Disclaimer: I’m actually a car enthusiast/nerd, but I’d like to see cars become the opposite of how bikes are used in my area. Weekend hobbies that are used for enjoyment or maybe to go traveling out of the reach of infrastructure. Not to slog to an office everyday in 4000lbs of hydrocarbon powered metal.

So you sell last years (or older???) chocolate eggs somewhere?

Doesn’t matter why in this analogy. Meeting in the middle between 0 and X innocent deaths, is still going to leave more than 0 innocent deaths. Which should be unacceptable to all non-sociopaths.

It’s illustrating the fallacy of assuming there is always a compromise in an argument. Sometimes there are, but not with Nazis or any intolerant groups, with the exception of intolerance of the intolerant, which is necessary to keep a society tolerant.

What about multi-leg flights?

That’s when I’m most protective of my luggage, but I generally pack extremely light and can squish my soft pack in places most can’t.

“This side toward dust bunnies” needs to be printed on an army green room a yesterday.

Maybe washing’s birthday isn’t just for getting deals on mattresses and SUVs!

It’s mostly greed. The gut feelings and fear are just for the plebs who elect them.

Are you sure? They do a lot of taking out of their asses, I always just assumed that’s what they listen with too, and where their fingers spend most of the time as a result.
