77 All seriousness aside: The painting is effective precisely because it *is* dreary and depressing, like day-to-day life for the miners there. Even the red roofs are dimmed and dulled -- probably from decades of coal dust and smoke.

And it will be very hard to get out. Your father will expect you to leave school and start working in the mine, just as he did, at sixteen.

100 I've only been to Butte once in my life, when I was a teenaged ranch worker and they sent me up to Butte for some reason or other. On the way up from the ranch, the ranch manager entertained me with stories of his most memorable bar fights in Butte, and when I got there I decided those were probably one of the highlights of community entertainment.

102 Probably all the houses were put up at the same time using the same model, by the company, so the workers would have "housing."

At least they have telephone service; see the poles. Probably party lines, but at least phones for those who can afford them.

I think the sausage makers are adding filler or fake meat to the sausage.

I buy that sausage in the plastic sleeve for my breakfast burritos or sandwiches.
And ... I have to add some olive oil or butter to get enough fat to keep it from sticking.

Something's going on, it didn't always used to be that way; you should have a nice bit of grease from a proper sausage cook.

Together they will despoil NYC, and she will increase that heap of cash many fold. That money will be stockpiled in her mother's TN tax haven, and when she joins the choir eternal, it will remain there.

212 Something's going on, it didn't always used to be that way; you should have a nice bit of grease from a proper sausage cook.
I can feel the fat in it when I make the patties.
But something is absorbing it all when it's cooking.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice

Farmers have been breeding less fatty hogs for a long while now. They actually get a bonus for less fatty meat from slaughterhouses. So Ham, Bacon, etc. has less fat to meat ratios and that includes sausage.

But sausage itself has always been notorious for having cheap fillers, especially in bad economic times or war time rationing. Easiest product to adulterate.

216 BREAKING: Despite Russia deploying a submarine and warships to protect the oil tanker Bella 1, U.S. airborne forces began helicopter landings on the vessel minutes ago.

Reports indicate U.S. forces have boarded and are attempting to seize a renamed Venezuelan oil tanker flying Russian flags, believed to be part of Russia’s so-called shadow fleet. The operation is unfolding in the North Sea, even as the tanker remains under Russian naval escort.

And for Trump’s next trick?
He’s about to make the left openly pro-Russia trying to explain why the U.S. shouldn’t stop a Russian shadow fleet from moving oil under fake flags.

Anyone in the media or the online world of 'influencers' gravitates toward negativity, chaos, and criticism. Because outrage sells better than good predictions. So you get Krugman's professional and totally idiotic take on the economy (Depression=GOP control) because it sells to dumb ass Dems that want comfort from their media. You get Rogan spouting off on Maduro because, well taking evil murderous thugs and trying them in court is, well, bad. You get Cucker Tarlson questioning whether the evil Joooos are behind every evil act and bringing guests on so he can 'question'. And so on. Old wise head takes by grumpy oldsters that there is nothing new under the sun, that Noriega set the precedents to go after Maduro, etc. etc. don't bring outrage clicks, fear clicks, and thus eyeballs to get paid.

Figure every media personality online or not trafficks in fear, uncertainty, doubt, and rage. Our job as consumers is to deflate the emotions and look at reality defined by a puzzle of different sources. Some people assemble puzzles better and faster than others.

247 Sen. Ruben Gallego on Monday introduced an amendment to the Senate Defense Appropriations bill to prohibit the use of funds for military force against Greenland. “Trump is telling us exactly what he wants to do. We must stop him before he invades another country on a whim,” Gallego wrote. “I’m introducing a resolution to block Trump from invading Greenland. No more forever wars.”

The fact that we even need a resolution for something this absurd is wild. Glad Gallego is at least treating it seriously instead of pretending this is just “Trump being Trump.” When senators are openly talking about NATO Article 5 scenarios, that’s not a joke anymore

It’s about time somebody put a leash on this guy, my grocery bill already looks like a war crime

And then people will spam articles about how the Dems are doing nothing and both parties are really at fault here.

289 BREAKING: Despite Russia deploying a submarine and warships to protect the oil tanker Bella 1, U.S. airborne forces began helicopter landings on the vessel minutes ago.

Reports indicate U.S. forces have boarded and are attempting to seize a renamed Venezuelan oil tanker flying Russian flags, believed to be part of Russia’s so-called shadow fleet. The operation is unfolding in the North Sea, even as the tanker remains under Russian naval escort.

And for Trump’s next trick?
He’s about to make the left openly pro-Russia trying to explain why the U.S. shouldn’t stop a Russian shadow fleet from moving oil under fake flags.

304 "https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/2008628052973306154

Since runaway oil tanker MARINERA (formerly BELLA 1) has become a hot topic on this platform, it’s worth reiterating that the vessel isn't carrying any oil cargo. It never docked in Venezuela; it came from Iran. See map of its route over past 7 months. "

Looking at the map, the tanker actually went dark for 2 weeks. It may have made port in Venezuela. Decent likelihood it's carrying Venezuelan government and military personnel tied to Maduro.

372 Outside politics Reddit is useful for generic things. There’s a ton of info. Some of it good some bad. But on a particular topic you can skim comments and get a good idea of what’s happening or the info you need.

Like you want info on a good restaurant in a city you’ve never been to. Theres 1000 posts on that with all types of opinions. Spend a bit of time reading and you’ll have a good idea of where to go that suits your tastes. Or a good mechanic. Or fun activities for kids. Things like that, Reddit has value.

381 366 If DJT is impeached and subsequently found guilty in a senate trial and actually removed, JD Vance becomes president, and the only way there can be a new VP is for a Vance appointee to be OK'd by a majority vote in both house and senate.

The divide is so great, the political hatred so strong, that no one could be confirmed, if the left holds even a single vote majority in both houses.

With no VP, if President JD Vance were to be 86'd, the speaker of the house, Hakeem Jeffries, would become president.

What a nightmare scenario.

Posted by: M. Gaga at January 07, 2026 10:47 AM (KiBMU)

====

Right after 1/6, with Trump at his absolute lowest point politically, the Senate only got 57 votes to convict him.

The idea that the Senate, which will definitely still be in GOP hands, will convict Trump of an impeachment in 2027 or 2028 is ludicrous, and people need to stop feeding this frenzy of fear around it.

Yes, if Dems take the House, they will try to impeach. No, the Senate will not convict. We've actually seen this play out twice before, and acting like next time, with the GOP more firmly behind him than the previous two times, it will lead to conviction is willful blindness.

I would presume so, given the mass of a full load of oil would be known, and that would affect displacement. If it was running light (or heavy, unlikely) it would be visually observable, unless ballast was added.

Yep. Calling Yup'ik "Inuit" is like calling a Spaniard "French", just because they both speak Romance languages.

Might even get your ass kicked for that. Historically the two groups did not get along. Of course both groups hated the Indians ("Native Americans") with the burning fury of a thousand suns.

Where I live, the local Yup'ik (the Alutiiq, i.e., Eskimos) were genocided by the Denaʼina (i.e., Indians) before white people even showed up.
