Believe it or not, straight to jail

If I had a dollar for every time a neuroscience undergraduate student took my job, sold me drugs, and raped me I’d have at least five bucks

I can confidently state that the folks looking to GTFO of the US aren’t going to be anti-union.

Tots and pears!

I went to YouTube to find a montage I’d seen recently of the clown saying “in two weeks” about all kinds of things, but there’s so many I couldn’t pick one. Some are from 8 years ago.

This isn’t even the qualifying incident; he helped promote this antivax shit in American Samoa and at least 79 people died there. Most of those were children.

The fact that the Senate confirmed this freak is insane. The fact that Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican against reaffirms the stereotype that Republicans only care about something when it affects them - Mitch is a polio survivor and therefore pro vaccinations…

I mean… I 100% agree, and yet you and I and everyone reading this are carrying around a phone that can do the exact same shit

Uh the officer’s life was at risk.

Are you implying the cop should have let the guy grab his gun?

Guy was a J6 rioter. By definition, stupid and crazy. Prone to making bad decisions, including a vocal declaration of suicidal intent to a police officer. What stops the guy from putting the gun to his head, then thinking “hey wait, I’m on Team Trump! Surely he’ll pardon me for this too!” And then shooting the cop instead?

Should the cop have run away? Now you’ve got a J6 rioter with a gun in a stolen police cruiser.

Please run us through the scenario in which it’s a good idea to let the mentally unstable rioter grab his gun.

And I’m not cheering the cop, either. I’m betting the cop is a fellow Republican, because…cop… but also because he foolishly trusted the J6 rioter to act reasonably and rationally. When the information presented by his computer stated this individual has a rap sheet and this situation was going to become an arrest, cop could have properly and immediately performed the arrest by standing between guy and car door then cuffing guy, thus not allowing guy the opportunity to make another stupid decision.

Cop treated this 70 in a 55 like it was a normal boring 70 in a 55 by a normal boring citizen, and this is what happened.

By not detected I assume you mean it didn’t auto-mount and show up in Nemo file browser. Maybe try running the Disks app in Linux Mint and see if your SD card shows up there and just needs to be reformatted?

Does your laptop have an SD card slot? Maybe you could do a backup that way?

Once you get your backup sorted I would just do a fresh install of 22.1 Xia. You’ll be fine with that older hardware. I don’t think the new stuff from 20.3 to 22.1 would make you notice a severe difference. If you have 4 GB of RAM that’s your limiter, but I’d have said the same thing when 20.3 came out.

…Plus

Every printer I can find is either formatted for A4/USA Letter, or little photo printers that probably require proprietary software which I doubt would work with regular text. I know some of those even require proprietary photo paper modules, which is why I gave up and never bought one.

I had a Canon ip100 years ago, I can recommend it and they still make a newer one, but it looks waaay bigger than your target size. Good luck

I know several people who voted for Trump who had never even heard of this guy.

Honestly, the apple TV is the least spammy by a long shot. I also hear great things about the Nvidia shield, but it is pretty ancient by now. Or use a computer, but of course that’s got its own annoyances. Of course these are all the most expensive options, apparently for a reason.

They rarely get hurricane direct hits, but deal with the remnants of major hurricanes a lot. Not many homes are storm proofed like you’d see in Florida though. Clearly their city storm sewer infrastructures are not equipped to deal with the combination of a high annual rainfall followed by a deluge like this.

Edit: I want to clarify that Eastern NC is more prepared than out west, the eastern half sees stronger hurricane remnants more often than out west, where they still get them but they’re weaker from the mountains. Not this time, apparently.

Huh, didn’t know that they still have a state run bank up there.

And they get some “bedroom community” money from people working in and around Boston that don’t want to live in Mass. Not an unreasonable commute down i93 or i95, especially if your job is in the north burbs.

Pretty sure none of that applies in North Dakota. Maybe there’s folks working in Fargo or Grand Forks that prefer Minnesota? But it’s not many.

Only once

Definitely not. There’s Teddy Roosevelt National Park, which is gorgeous, but it doesn’t attract nearly as much tourism of all the stuff that’s four hours south…

South Dakota has Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, Mammoth Site, Black Hills National Forest, Deadwood and Sturgis, a couple good private zoos in Reptile Gardens and Bear Country. All of that stuff is within a 1 hour drive of Rapid City, which has plenty of good hotels and restaurants and just generally what you’d expect from a modern midsize city. Rapid City is honestly worth the trip for anyone, but If you’re a real outdoorsy person then you could easily enjoy a month out there. Oh and then not that far away (relatively speaking - 2 hours drive) is Devil’s Tower in Wyoming.

So no… NoDak is comparatively sparse. And they probably like it that way.

Yeah ‘etc’ of course stands for ‘et cetera’ which implies that’s all just a bunch of extra shit, right?
