"When you lie on the resume but get the job anyway"

I should have included this in the "Luxury Abounds" thread.

Possessed goat.

Beaver builds a post-Christmas dam.

An highly organized group of thieves steals jewelry.

Crocodile gets sporty with a young hippo, but the young hippo gets sporty back.

Pit bull and goat have different play-styles but they're trying to work it out.

The problem with pandas.

Big bull seal rocks a car as it passes by.

Manatee demands cuddles.

In fairness to the dog, the pig wouldn't notice the difference anyway. In Soviet Russia, you jump sheep.

There was an episode of Family Ties where the little baby (who was born and became 5 years old over one summer) was scolded in kindergarten for refusing to share his toys. This horrified Alex P. Keaton, who subscribed to a rule of strict property rights and shared Ayn Rand's fondness for selfishness. So he printed up a t-shirt reading "I KNOW WHAT'S MINE" and dressed his baby brother in it.

This shepherd must be a fan of that episode.

BREAKING: Congress just released BOMBSHELL findings on the January 6th pipe bomb investigation, revealing that the FBI engaged in a massive coverup.

The Committee determined that "There is conflicting information as to whether the FBI received "corrupted" cellular data from the major cell carriers. A former senior FBI official testified that the major cell carrier companies provided "corrupted" cell data to the FBI and suggested that that "corrupted" data may have contained the identity of the pipe bomber; however, in responses to letters from the Subcommittee, the major cell carriers confirmed that they did not provide corrupted data to the FBI and that the FBI never notified them of any issues with accessing the cellular data."

Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at January 02, 2025 07:40 PM (hovnC)

25 George @BehizyTweets 6h
"After more than 1,400 days since two pipe bombs were placed on Capitol Hill, the FBI has made no arrest and has charged no individuals with planting the explosive devices. Since its initial progress in the early weeks and months of the investigation, there has been little meaningful progress toward the apprehension of the suspect."

Do you mean to tell me they were able to track down & arrest hundreds of J6ers mere days after January 6th but still can't get their hands on the actual terrorist who endangered the entire government? Yeah, we're not buying what they're selling. EVERYONE AT THE FBI MUST GET ARRESTED.

DEI: Evidence that the FBI is chronically lowering its standards are evident everywhere. Take Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan, who initially stated that the terror attack was not being considered a terrorist attack - she was wearing a prohibited nose ring. FBI agents should be rule followers - especially those in leadership roles. Alethea's decision to flaunt FBI rules in our faces on national television is just another example of the decline of the agency.

Alethea Duncan’s main experience is in health care criminal investigations.

Her boss, Lyonel Myrthil, most recent experience was leading investigations into non-violent January 6th cases.

Posted by: Soothsayer at January 02, 2025 07:28 PM (jJddk)

Human singing and musical instruments make sounds that are not yet in the hard-coded brain sections of animals. So animals are tickled, intrigued, confused, lulled into non-attack mode, etc. Eventually animal species in areas where they have frequent contact with humans may adapt and ignore human singing and music as innocuous background noise, like owl hooting must be to dogs, wolves, bears, and other animals owls don't prey on.

It varies widely, of course, depending on the brand you own and local conditions. The pizza places I am familiar with will clear approximately $200K to $300K per location. That's profit after all expenses to the owning company, individual, LLC, LTD, what have you.

206 as I understand it, President Yoon was on the bad side of a vote by a legislature that was controlled by his opposition. Yoon is fully supportive of the US being in control of the Korean military affairs and having a large input into Korean civil government, the legislative majority not so much.
President Yoon, on being on the wrong side of that divide, tried to declare a state of emergency, and troops moved to block the opposition from entering the chambers to vote it down. In response the legislature impeached him, and is now demanding he surrender for a trial.

My wife tells me that madame first lady Kim is reputed to have lied about having graduated from an American university, and her family has been accused of stock and market manipulation. There is rumors that she used to be a prostitute, but I suspect those claims are just smears.

My wife also tells me that a surprising number of media stars in their 30's are currently dying of heart failure and getting very ill, and I note that Korea was highly vaccinated and boosted, and they are very worried in country about there not being any kids to take care of the aging generations.

A former senior FBI official testified that the major cell carrier companies provided “corrupted” cell data to the FBI and suggested that that “corrupted” data may have contained the identity of the pipe bomber; however, in responses to letters from the Subcommittee, the major cell carriers confirmed that they did not provide corrupted data to the FBI and that the FBI never notified them of any issues with accessing the cellular data."||

Yep. One theory is that the "bombs" were actually Plan A, but when things got jiggy at the Capitol, there was no need to carry it out.

Putting Harris at the location of one of the bombs was part of the plan since her presence would elevate the "bomber's" crime--just like what they tried to pull with Pence at the Capitol, except he really wasn't there at the right time.

I think that's a little overstated. You need a hand on the wheel and your eyes open and looking straight ahead.

Can it tell if you're alive? I dunno. But would you trust a corpse with a head wound to get your bomb to the target?

Don't know her height, but she's way too wide to be the bomb girl.

Maybe. But I'm not gonna argue with Musk about the car he created.

Las Vegas sheriff: Special Forces Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger shot himself before his rented Cybertruck blew up at the Trump hotel

Now that we know the Vegas suspect was found with a bullet in his head, I see 2 possible scenarios:

1. He shot himself - he was planning to commit suicide & didn’t want to risk being burned alive

2. He was shot by someone else & the Tesla was auto-pilot navigated to the Trump hotel

DC_Draino @DC_Draino 6h
A long fuse could’ve been lit, a timer could have been set, or the bomb could have been remotely detonated

I wonder if anyone in the vicinity heard a gunshot

That would help confirm where the car was when he was shot

273 Even my non auto pilot car tells me to pay attention to the road if I look down for too long.

Kamala is half Indian (small) and half Jamaican Black.
For short people you may need to go to Africa but there are also very tall people there as well as most being average,

There was a least one but I think more than one. I don't know if they've tested the badly burned weapon.
