Thread Guidelines
- Keep politics out. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down the rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
- Be cool to one another. Like it says above, just be civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone and that’s fine, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument not the poster.
- Keep the NSFW to a minimum. We don’t need anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
- All in all, be adults. Treat each other with respect and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something feel free to ask. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here. Just be civil and cool to one another.
Twinkies scored 7 in the 4th and 11 overall and the bullpen managed to only give up 3 for a 11-4 win in SD to avoid a sweep.
Back home to face the Cards on Friday.
I hope….
Sam Darnold experiences a Keenum-esque resurgence and earns a hefty payday with another team for 2025.
T.J. Hockenson comes back healthy and productive – whenever that is – preferably playing his best football toward the end of the year with a good foot forward for 2025.
JJ McCarthy is soaking in all the little nuances of being an NFL QB. Meetings, film study, rehab….. First guy in, last guy out – his injury doesn’t change that expectation. Learn, learn, learn and learn some more. I want him falling asleep at night with the playbook in his hands and singing play-calls in the shower. It’ll be his car in 2025, and it’ll be Autobahn ready.
The Tua/Flores beef scares teams away from B-Flo as HC for another year – another year with money to burn on the defensive side of the ball where we can address the immediate Defensive needs (IDL, CB) with known commodities.
That one or both of those Defensive needs is addressed this year by finding diamonds in LDR and Dwight McGlothern. Khyree Jackson’s death was tragic both on and off the field – we’re due a little good Karma.
Dallas Turner is an immediate force and earns DROY and makes other teams sick for passing on him.
We find a GD running game – in particular in short yardage. Tired of 3rd/4th and short being a gut-wrenching experience. Exert your fucking will on somebody and run the damn ball!
I hope Harry has one last good ride before hanging them up. He’s a 1/2 sack away from having 20 sacks and 30 int in a career. Hope he increases both of those numbers.
I hope we play competitive, spirited football all year long. That, and a bit of luck our way and I think this team could win 10 games and be a playoff team.
Or….
The wheels fall off by week 4 with Darnold, IDL and IOL continue to be turnstiles and we’re in the bottom 3rd in passing yards allowed – with a boatload of mistakes and ineptitude paving the way to an 0-5 or 1-4 start before the bye. The dreaded locker room ‘schism’ makes its way into USBank, Flores is shitcanned by November, Addison gets popped for driving drunk on an electric scooter at Mall of America and Harrison Smith gets traded to another team and wins a ring……
Skol
Wow
Heard the Cowboys are signing Linval Joseph.
He can be a plug in the middle, not sure how much inside pass rush he has left, probably just enough to truck Badburry.
What are you most hoping for this season?
Sam Darnold turns into a good QBThe offensive line gets its act togetherThe running game gets its act togetherThe defense leads the league in fewest points allowedThe defense leads the league in fewest yards allowedThe defense leads the league in turnoversThe kicker makes every extra pointThe kicker makes 90% of his field goal attemptsYes
I’m going with 2, 3, and 8.
Well, while we’re hoping, I’ll take a million bucks and a landside Trump victory.
Watching Vikings football and watching the young core guys start to grow and meld into the system, specifically on the defense. Also the unknown out comes, right now both our ceiling and floors could both be extreme based on some unknowns that are about to be known. As I stated at the end of last season, im more excited about 25 than 24, once JJ is starting, the breaks are off and this train is rolling. At best we have Keenum type year with Darnold, at worst, its a 5-6 win season. Enjoy the ride.
What am I most hoping for this season?
Hmmm… when I posted this it was in a list… now the list is a paragraph?
Try again.
Yes
Our new shiny Kicker went 8-8 today with a long of 58. Is it weird that Im not worried about him kicking?
Yes. You are weird.
Vikings kickers always eff it up.
Let’s wait until a real game is on the line.
Don’t worry, when regular season starts, you’ll start worrying again.
Probably!

Let’s hope this problem continues for them.
Pretty sure this is just clickbait.
‘Experts’ are using the JJ situation to see how many people they can draw to their page.

Pepper spray discussion below reminded me of this anecdote: Returning from archery hunting after dark, arrive at my drive way that is gated to keep horses in. My kid was also hunting that evening and his truck is at the open gate, running, door open and can of discharged pepper spray on driver’s side ground. Been having bear problems that fall and garbage can is right at the gate. I naturally think he got attacked, put headlamp on draw my .41 mag and start yelling and looking for him. Nothing. Call wife, house is about 200 yards from gate. I quickly ramble off story and tell her to grab a light and my .450 mag lever gun. When I stop rambling she tells me my son is in the shower. When getting back into his rig after opening the gate, pepper spray he carries got tangled in the seat belt and discharged right in his face. He staggered 200 yds up driveway, couldn’t call, couldn’t see his phone. His was miserable for about 4-6 hrs.
Yuck. I’ve heard of them exploding when left in a car in the summer too. At least it wasn’t a bear. You gotta watch how you wash that stuff off your face too. Don’t let the water run down to the nether regions or you will be experiencing a whole ‘nother level of burning reserved for cheap hookers.
Been there done that with Pepper Spray.
By the time you get home you just want to wash it off and stop the burn and forget to be careful where the ‘runoff’ goes.
Ya that happened a little to him. Google said to apply heavy whipping cream to his nether regions. So he is in the shower with his goods in a bowl of cream. He said it helped some.
That’ll teach him to carry bear spray while in a truck. I keep mine attached to my belt on my right hip, that way if I go to put on a seatbelt it would be in the way and remind me to take it off.
I keep mine on my bino harness or backpack.
Funny, when we hunt together I notice the spray is the first thing he takes off now before getting in truck.
Pain is, and has alway been, the best teacher.
I have read lots of bear attack stories. They sound pretty freaky. That must have been a sick feeling to think it happened to your son. I can’t imagine that level of stress.
I’ve been charged by a black bear and a moose. I drew my pistol on the moose but he stopped. The bear, I was an idiot. I heard something behind me, turned, saw the bear coming, reached for bear spray and pistol at the same time just to find they were both at camp still. Luckily he stopped at about 15 yards and went the other way. Hopefully never have first hand experience with the bite force. I’ve been close to a couple sedated grizzly bears and they’re no joke.
Walked up on a sow and cubs, real windy, I was down wind. Bears were in a rose hip patch didn’t see them. Bear charged and hit a barbed wire fence that ran through the patch. Don’t think it saw it. It was about 3 ft from me. It took off after hitting the fence. I was surprisingly calm for about 20 seconds. Then the adrenaline that was released ran my HR up to about 140.
Yikes!
That is way too close for comfort.
And thank God for that fence. The moose that charged me stopped because I hit him in the face with the light from my flashlight as I drew my Glock. (PSA-don’t throw sticks at moose).
Thank God for that fence.
Glad nothing happened. Bear attack would be a bad, bad day.
How big a pistol do you carry?
I just have a Glock 40. A pistol is unlikely to be successful so the bear spray is step one. The Glock is as much in case I run into some dipshit in the woods as it is for bears.
Can’t go wrong with a Glock. They just work.
Yep, and that is what I am comfortable with. I feel better knowing I can get 15 rounds where I want than trying to get 6 on target from a heavier caliber revolver that I’m not as comfortable with.
I can’t think of revolvers as more than novelties now. They have their use and are fun to shoot, and smaller ones are good for ladies that want something simple, but it is hard to go away from 15 rounds once you have had it.
If you want a large caliber, then they make sense I guess. I wouldn’t mind having a 454, but I like the fact that I feel like I could roll through a mud puddle and my Glock will still fire all 16 rounds. I don’t get the whole, gotta have a small gun for concealed carry either. With a decent holster you shouldn’t have to. I can conceal my full size Glock just fine under a t-shirt.
Again ditto, carry a Gen 4 glock all the time just under a t shirt, or jacket if coolish out.
I like that the Glock is so utilitarian. I like to keep my guns “nice,” but that doesn’t matter with a Glock.
Finish is wearing off from getting put in and out of the holster. Who cares. Slide got scratched. Who cares. The Glock don’t care. It just keeps eating whatever ammo it gets loaded with over and over again.
What size Glock is good for a beginner and for protection? I hear a lot about a Glock 9.
Depending on the person, I like the Glock 22 or 23 (40 caliber). You can get the same gun in 9mm, I think it’s the 19. 9mm is nice because ammo is cheap but a 40 has a little more knock down power without the recoil of going to a 45 or 10mm. There are some other good ones out there in the same price range like the S&W M&Ps. I would go to a gun store and see what feels best. The Smith and Glocks now come with some interchangeable parts for the grip too so you can adjust it some. I have to have an extra grip on mine because my fingers are so long I either release the slide or lock it while shooting if I’m not paying attention.
The biggest thing with a handgun is comfort and practice.
Can’t go wrong with a Glock 17 or 19…other manufacturers also make quality 9mm striker fired pistols so you might try a few out at the counter for fit. Keep in mind the Glocks and many others have custom handgrip inserts to size the beavertail for your hands.
The Glock 19 is pretty common for people. It is 9MM.
The only gripe I have about Glocks, is I don’t like the longer trigger pull, but it is not a deal breaker. Glocks just plain work all the time.
I know people that also have Smith and Wesson MPs, also in 9MM. One of my coworkers got rid of his in 40 caliber version, though. It was too snappy for him.
Another coworker has a Springfield Hellcat that he really, really likes. He liked it so much he convinced another coworker to get one, and he likes it more than his SW MP.
Those are three you could look at that are manageable and affordable.
I also hear good things about the Sig Saur P365X, but I have never tried one.
I have a sig P360, I have never had an issue with it.
I own many long guns, but no pistols. Been telling myself to get one for a long while now. Would you or anyone else here that knows hand guns recommend a glock then? I don’t know much about pistols in general.
I should have kept scrolling, thanks for any info.
Glock has done lots of tests to prove their reliability. They buried one in the mud for a few months, took it out, hosed it off and fired 100 rounds with no jams. Disassembled one, sprayed it with degreaser, put it back together, fired 100 rounds, no jams. There’s only something like 25 parts as well. There’s a reason most law enforcement agencies go with em. When I pull the trigger, I want to know it’s going to go boom no matter what.
The last conceal/carry class I attended had a bunch of different pistols there. I could not believe how many of the people had failures just firing 10 rounds three times. I didn’t really take note what models they had, though. They definitely weren’t Glocks, that’s for sure.
I just bring a .22 to that class because I am with my wife and don’t want to screw around with the firing portion. I just go up and plink my rounds and get out of there.
Thanks for the insight. I will start doing some research. Just mainly want one for when I hunt or basically doing anything in the woods for protection, and to stop an intruder from entering my house of course.
Glocks are a fine pistol. That’s what I have (17 and 19). My instructor (former SEAL) has Springfields. You’ll want a striker fired pistol (for example, a Glock) for consistent pull and recoil (accuracty).
Ditto
I remember these convos from the DN days. I’d mention bearspray and Warrior would always advocate carrying a handgun…as did Kodiak. Good times.
Not equivalent scenarios but when I was 17 I had a bull unexpectedly charge when my back was turned. When I first heard the stomp I glanced over my shoulder and time slowed down…that bastard was moving and I just had time to leap the fence in what seemed a single bound before he hooked me (plus I think he was turning to avoid barreling into the fence). I honestly cannot imagine in the panic of that situation drawing a pistol let alone getting a shot off – where are you going to aim on a 1500 pound bull when all you really perceive is a big ass animal bearing down on you.
Bear spray is nice assuming the bear isn’t four feet away as it gives you an option. Put a bullet into the chest of a bear and your options are pretty limited to hoping like hell it decides to run away rather than decimate the human that hurt it.
I would have had to change my drawers after that I suspect.
Hope to never have to find out.
Happened so fast I didn’t have time to be scared. Like Skol said, it takes your brain awhile to realize what just happened and then the threat is gone.
Oddly enough, I have hiked several hundred miles in the Beartooths and have never encountered a bear, as in I’ve never laid eyes on one. Maybe my eyes are bad. I have run into fresh scat from time to time which prompts me to carry the spray in my hand for awhile. I purposely am far from stealthy, jangling tools hanging from carabiners, dog has a backpack on with water bottles gurgling away, etc. For that matter, they recommend keeping your dog on a leash but who can do that for a twelve mile hike up and over deadfall, rock fall, etc? I figure the dog will lead the bear in a big circle ending up right where I’m standing.
That’s amazing.
I lived in Northern Michigan and saw several bears each year.
Just off the road. In the woods on a golf course.
Not super close, but my fear edged up when I saw one.
Black bears. Not Grizzlies.
We have seen black bears in the Sequoia/Kings Canyon park a few times.
They generally stay away from people and the few times we heard them we made a lot of noise and moved away from the thicker brush where they were.
Black bears typically aren’t a problem and I’ve never worried about them that much. In general, black bears are more predatory and griz are more territorial. A griz will charge or bluff charge just to tell you to leave his turf. I’ve always been told that if you get charged by a black bear it’s because he plans on eating you. Glad I got lucky and he decided I was too skinny to make a good meal.
If I remember correctly, Jellystone Park was a hot spot.
Sequoia/Kings Canyon has ‘Bear Boxes’ for any food.
And they will kick you out after 1 warning if you fail to use them.
Threatened me when I didn’t put some water bottles in them, we were right next to a stream at the time.
I kind of hope you don’t see one. Saves trouble!
My wife told me how her and her friend went camping up around Vancouver one time. Just ditty bop out there with no thought of personal defense. She said a bear came and sniffed around their tent in the night, and I go white just listening to stuff like that.
It’s like…what the hell were you and your friend thinking?
I just encountered the most stereotypical butch lesbian I have ever seen. She checked all of the boxes…
T-shirt, cargo shorts, baseball cap backwards over buzzed hair, piercings and tattoos everywhere, gutter mouth, three breakfast burritos, lottery tickets. I think she even had a job in construction.
The only thing missing was Rosie O’Donnell on her arm.
That’s her/he/she/him/they/them’s entire point.
Get you to look at her.
She succeeded.
She was really loud. Held up the checkout line for a good five minutes. The two one hundred dollar bills she had wouldn’t get processed by the lottery machine. Her response.
“I just got those effin bills from the effin bank. I’m gonna go right effin back there and tell those mother effers to give me some new mother effing bills. I literally just go those effin things from the mother effin ATM machine.”
Poor cashier…
Yeah. Waiting on complete idiots.
I assume you are in Minnesota, so it can’t be the State Governments Lottery Machine’s fault. It must be the banks.
Is there a bank in the country that puts out $100 bills.
And why would this type of behavior be acceptable anywhere? He/she/it should have been thrown out the door.
The clerk/cashier is suppose to throw ‘butch’ out the door?
Plus in Commifornia Butch would have sued and ended up owning the store.
And Butch could just take $900 of free stuff without being charged for stealing.
What a way to live!
Actually $950 in Calif.
They actually use calculators sometimes to make sure they stay under that.
The larger ‘smash and grab’ types don’t care though, they just get as much as they can carry.
LOL.
I was going to type $950 but didn’t.
So could anyone. The issue is the terrible policy not the butch person.
Isn’t it really about the butch person’s behavior?
It has nothing to do with them being butch, it’s about the behavior. But I was talking about the stealing shit and getting away with it. Again, that applies to anyone so there’s no reason to make that about the person, the policy needs to be changed so we can prosecute the person’s behavior no matter who they are.
I agree the policy is also stupid. And bad behavior is just that and shouldn’t be tolerated.
Just an opinion here. Think if an old white guy, dressed like a dumb, started acting poorly, he’d get throw out. Now, if one of theses “newer” type persons misbehaviors, there’s more tolerance for fear of – lots of things.
Also if a dumb white guy was doing that people wouldn’t feel the need to say “a dumb white guy” did blah blah blah, they’d just say “some idiot…” or something like that. There is not reason to add the “Butch” part if it has nothing to do with the action.
But it does have an effect on outcome.
Been there – real world. Old white guy misbehaves – out the door. Old black women acts up – it is handled more carefully.
Is it right – nope. But that’s the way it happens. And I can guarantee you when the local TV station comes by they say – older black women and the behavior takes a distant second seat.
The problem is if you point out the same issue but reversed with like police profiling minorities more than white folks (real world) typically people dismiss that but it’s real. So this shit goes both ways and both are wrong. Let’s just get rid of both!
This isn’t exactly the same.
I don’t believe ordinary whites have specific protections in the law like minorities have – like EEOC, Equal Credit etc.
Correct but talking about pointing it out, see pointing it out there are things you want to use to dismiss the fact. But to your point, I am not in favor of laws of “forced niceness” either.
Agree on ‘forced niceness.’ But there should be zero tolerance for beliguent behavior directed at people who “work the counters.”
All of society should be upset with people that go around acting like assholes.
No. Ran a rather large outfit with numerous retail storefront locations. We never allowed our counter help to be mistreated. Customer would get one warning, and then the manager would ask them to leave if they didn’t comply.
No one has a right to go into any type of establishment and mistreat the working staff.
I’ve never seen $100 bills from an ATM.
I can get $50’s.
Stop fact checking butch.
It’s the banks fault.
Or they are just a douchebag of a person and they are living their life.
That too !!
I think sometimes we assign these intentions to people… Sometimes it’s true, other times, they are just a turd haha.
Yep.
Being a turd cuts across all political lines.
Also sounds like the typical bar league softball player as well
Man, I miss softball…
i played on a team this summer, and realized i do not love it anymore.
perhaps its the 20th season of playing shortstop on a field that is so poorly taken care of, you never know where the ball will hop.
perhaps it was a team full of new players who were terrible
perhaps it was a team full of new players who were terrible and did not have endearing qualities which would make me overlook their terribleness
Yeah, there is a season of life for it, and then it isn’t the same.
I had to quit because I lost a step in the outfield. I loved chasing down flyballs. Making outfield catches is one of the most pure feelings ever. Nothing else exists once that ball is in the air and heading your way.
Plus, my eyes got bad. I started losing the ball when it got within ten feet of me. Lost all confidence that it wasn’t going to miss my glove and hit me in the face.
outfield is a complete blast. When i put together my own team, i made sure to get someone who could play SS so i could play outfield and you are right, there are few things more fun than making a running catch in the outfield.
sorry your eyes got bad. i’m still rocking 20/20 SUCKER
I hate the outfield. I successfully avoided it for the last 15 or so years but got roped into it this summer for a tournament and again last night. I should have missed a few easy ones on purpose but instead caught some harder ones so now I’m worried people are going to try and get me to play outfield more. I prefer pitching and 3rd.
Oh, and I have 20/13 so take that battery boy.
don’t get me wrong, i loveeeee playing short. But i like a little variety.
When I was at my peak, I had RANGE, man.
6’7, and I could sprint like a cheetah.
Had a total noodle arm, though. TOTAL noodle arm.
Me too! Total noodle arm – must be a tall guy thing (I am just over 6’4). I never played softball but played legion baseball – fast with a noodle arm = left field.
Nope, just you guys.
6’6″ with a cannon.
I am jealous.
I played with guys that had arm cannons. It looked fun to be able to make those throws.
Cannon might be a tad of a stretch, but I can still sling it pretty good.
you and me both…
Do they still have legion ball? Used to be very solid baseball
We do here. Billings has 2 or 3 teams.
Are you guys talking about fast or slow pitch softball?
Slow pitch.
My noodle arm never got me into too much trouble because I caught everything in my area, even stuff that shouldn’t have been catchable, so guys always had to tag-up on me. Then I could usually get it to a cut off man and minimize the damage of having a noodle arm.
I remember one night the other team made comments about my noodle arm, and it ticked me off into a new level of catching everything, and I took great pleasure in beating them.
Still, the niftiest catch I ever saw was a left fielder running in on foul ball. He sprinted in, jumped to the top of the fence, held himself there with one hand and then swiped DOWNWARD with his glove to snag the ball as it was dropping below the level of the fence.
That was crazy.
Nice. We had a guy rob a home run last year in left center. He hit the fence in stride and his foot was at the top of the fence in two steps. Looked pretty cool, but was totally unnecessary though since the other team had already used up their home runs.
When I played, I was basically utility man.
Whatever position needed a spot, it was me.
I outwardly stated that anything is fine except 1st base and catcher. Since I was good, it made no sense to even put me in either of those spots.
I played mostly outfield in my younger days, and infield as I got older.
My favorite part about playing was doing a pop single to right, and just continue running the bases. I made it to third often. Almost always a double.
I miss playing. But my body doesn’t.
I started out on first base. Then I got moved to rover. It became a totally new game to me. Felt born again in the outfield.
I liked the outfield.
All about gauging the speed of the ball, your running ability, and using your nogging to throw a strike to the cutoff man.
My biggest problem is that I’ve played too much infield so my first step is always forward and I get burned in the outfield. Pop fly or line drive in the infield, I’m good.
Definitely different tactics for infield and outfield. For the infield, I just tried to stay quick with my feet on the pitch. Not forward or backward. Just moving feet to keep me mentally ready.
Usually, infielders can adapt to the outfield easier than outfielders moving to the infield,
Now I remember my greatest catch, that I will regal people with…
I was in center field. A guy hit one of those low level screamers at me that was also a worm ball. I immediately knew it was going over my head, so I turned and sprinted back. First I looked over one shoulder, and the ball looked to be going the other way. Then I looked over my other shoulder, and the ball seemed to be going back that other way. I could not get a bead on it for whatever reason.
Finally, a the last moment, I spun around and backpedaled. One problem: the ball was coming on the side away from my glove hand.
“YEAH, BURNED HIM!” I heard one of the players on the opposite team yell.
Then I figured, well, I can at least reach out and swat the ball out of the air with my bare hand, so it doesn’t roll all the way to the fence.
So I shoot out my bare hand. The ball smacks into my palm and starts dropping to the ground. At that point, I think, while still backpedaling, hmmm…why don’t I just catch it with my barehand then. I should have just done that to start with…
So then I pluck the ball out of the air with my bare hand in a downward swipe.
Batter out!
Awesome memory play there!
I can remember a couple plays where running in from right field and sliding for a diving catch.
Or playing shortstop and running foul behind third base and catching a fly with my left hand over my right shoulder.
Or turning an unassisted double play.
Fun times.
Those kind of plays are a pure natural high.
I can’t imagine how pro players feel making plays like that for all the marbles in front of a full stadium and millions watching on TV.
Yep.
Made numerous bad plays as well.
Always took it personally if I missed a throw or effed up on a play.
I never played much baseball or softball, growing up. But my son played from the time he was 4 to present, 25 years old. In youth baseball he played 2nd base.
He was in a tournament, probably 5th or 6th grade and he gets a slow roller coming at him. The batter has some speed to him, so my son scoops the ball with his glove, goes between the legs to his throwing hand and throws the kid out at 1st.
His team ended up winning the tournament and that play was a momentum changer for the day.
Nice! Proud father moment!
Guessing she got into a Subaru as well.
I believe the ‘riot batons’ are made of hard rubber.
We has some at the prison, not that exact model but similar.
What good is that? They should be stainless steel or titanium with an electrode on the end like a cattle prod.
I was told that when you strike with them they actually vibrate a little bit so it is like hitting them several times.
Plus if someone is seriously hurt you can claim in court that it was made of rubber so it was considered ‘less than lethal’ saving you a lot of money.
You’re supposed to hit them in the limbs, not the head or is your target different in a riot?
You don’t aim at the head yes.
But they are moving and you are moving so if you aim at the upper arm/shoulder and they ‘duck’ all bets are off.
That’s why you go for the calf and make sure to get your legs in the swing.
In a melee you can’t plan/predict what will be available as a target. There might be debry/people in the way, things are fluid.
Same if you planned to poke him in the chest/stomach and they duck and you hit them in the face/throat.
Yeah, I get it. Cattle prods and pepper spray.
Pepper spray effects the sprayer as well.
You try to get close enough to get it in their face (incapacitates all but the most dedicated or mentally ill) but everyone in the area is effected by it.
C/S or Teargas can be used for large groups if you can deploy it well and make sure you ‘upwind’ of it.
We never had access to ‘cattle prods’ so I have had no training on the use of those.
Yep. Pepper spray sucks. Bullets should be more acceptable or maybe dart guns with a little ketamine in em.
We had annual ‘mask confidence’ exercises in the army where we were subjected to C/S.
So when I got exposed to pepper spray it wasn’t quite so bad. The Dept of Corrections considered C/S worse and only Sgts/Lts could deploy it.
Never had the joy of CS. Got a little residual bear spray on my hand once and rubbed my eye during a training video and had the joy of a shot of pepper spray once. I’ll be ok if I don’t have to do that again, but it is a regular reminder of the power of your mind.
I suspect Bear Spray is worse, never ‘got to’ experience that.
Robbers at a Jewelry Store in SoCal used that against employees, one step below guns I would think.
Damn. I’ve just got a little from the wind switching and the residual on the can after “practice” getting on my hand. The gel straight to the face while you just stand there was stupid. Hopefully I never spray bear spray again in my life.
The employees of this store fought back pretty well after the thief used Bear Spray.
https://ktla.com/video/video-employees-fight-back-against-robbery-suspect-who-sprayed-them-with-bear-repellent%C2%A0/8964249/
Those employees would be getting a nice bonus from me. What did the Cali system make you do when you got maced?
Dept of Corrections?
Decontaminate with water/soap or fresh air.
Some hacks like certain soaps but time was the best option. Of course you had to suffer for quite awhile.
Did they just spray you and you were done or what task did they make you complete?
If we got some on us we could ‘take moment’ to wash off the worst of it once the situation allowed that.
Then back to our regular shift responding to incident, writing reports etc.
Full clean up happened once you got home.
I had to strip down a few times in the garage so as to not bring that stuff into the house.
I was just curious if you had to get sprayed intentionally such as at DO Basic and cuff somebody or something.
Yes we had to ‘familiarize’ with it in the Academy.
Also some officers would ‘prank’ their partners and spray them on purpose. That never happened to me but have been accidentally sprayed during an incident when partner had bad aim and the inmate moved fast.
Plus ‘accidental discharges’ happen when everyone is wearing a quart sized canister on their belts.
I know a guy that went to peace officer basic and he said they had to get sprayed and then walk some distance and hit a punching pad to show yourself you can fight through the pepper spray.
Officially they were suppose to spray a plastic shield right next to us to familiarize us with the effect.
The Sgt later admitted she aimed at our faces because she didn’t like the attitude of some of the people in the group.
She did admit we handled it better than expected but there was no ‘task’ we had to complete afterwards.
Heck some of the ‘ladies’ had to be helped just to walk to where the water station was.
My friend said he was ok walking to the pad but as soon as he hit it however many times he had to, his brain knew he didn’t have to fight anymore and he fell.
Yup focus means a lot.
Was in a 450 inmate riot and was so busy that it took days afterwards for my mind to work it all out.
Luckily they were mostly fighting each other or it would have been much worse.
There is some spray up in the ED that they can use if things go squirrely, not sure what is in it but apparently can be deployed in the tight quarters without incapacitating the whole care team.
We had multiple types of Pepper Spray grenades, the ‘burning type’ could not be used indoors as it could start fires and it would actually use up the oxygen in a small room/cell.
Small ‘popping’ types we could use in a cell.
Sprays came down to aim, and the residue effected everyone in the immediate area.
Shouldn’t they be called “mostly peaceful batons”?
Depends on who the people the batons being used on vote for.
Correct. Fair point.
Huh, my wife has a riot baton in her bedside table…
To help keep you in line?
Or is that your kink that she ‘assists’ with?
Rioters fo sho veering left or right
We always had the biggest guy at the point of the wedge of our skirmish line for just that reason.
Yeah, that’s a bit over the top. Seems like acting.
But I don’t like the guy, so I’m biased.
And he calls Trump and Vance weird….
He is Tester 2.0
Would just say – if you are running for VP of the US, find a good taylor and at least “look” like you’re presidential material.
if he had this much energy during the G. Floyd riots, he could have singlehandedly stopped them all
ZING!
There were not any riots, only protests.
I’ve been thinking that Nailor is likely WR3 this year.
perhaps i missed the train on this one, but why is his nickname speedy
I am guessing he is fast?
he’s fast compared to you and i. but not faster than most WR’s
I’m pretty sure Jefferson called him Speedy.
Hopefully, it’s not the reverse psych op.
Like calling a big huge dude Tiny.
HAHAHA! I seriously giggled out loud thinking the same thing.
That was his nickname at Michigan State.
Maybe even growing up.
i just have heard it a bunch this year but never once heard it last year when he was still on the team. idk.
He really hasn’t played much, so he probably didn’t make the talking head circuit.
I think he was injured. But since he got here they’ve called him “Speedy Nailor”
Maybe he has an electric nail gun.
What you did there.
I seen it.
Maybe they didn’t know it last year.
Or they didn’t know him enough to feel comfortable enough using it.
Lucky Jackson is ‘lucky’ he has such a good name and doesn’t need a nickname.
I know why they call him speedy…
He likes sombreros?
Or our #2 when Addison is suspended lol. Man it’d be nice to have Hock when Addison is out.
So we’ll have, what? 10 games with Jets, Addison, Nailor, Hock, Jones? Not bad, if the OL holds up ok.
Correct.
Hock likely isn’t playing until about week 7 or 8.
Addison’s suspension could be put off until 2025.
But I think it’s happening this year.
Breathalyzer is already proof of a DUI, for the NFL.
What if he says he was just drinking kombucha?
The jobs report in general is a joke. And the inflation number is right there with it.
I am sure that the Fake News will be all over this story.
They will blame it on Joe and tout Kamala as the soon-to-be savior
Nah, it’s Trump’s fault.
For sure. You would think Trump is the incumbant listening to the speeches. The Dems now offer hope for the future – guess the existing regime is pretty crappy.
Simply amazing and dumbfounding message.
“Prices are too high. On day one I will bring prices down…..”
Just forget that I’ve been in charge the last 3.5 years and did nothing about it. But elect me and in 5 months I will get started on that problem.
I guess I’m just some idiot trailer trash.
Guess we all are. They certainly act like we are all idiots and they can say “anything” and we will just eat it up.
If we could just get the Dems to admit this and hold them accountable when they do this shit it’d be awesome. But sadly they will just say, “Well Trump/Pubs lied about…” Which sounds like what you guys do too. It’s really odd how politics turns so many people into children. Like, how young were we all when learning 2 wrongs don’t make a right?
2 wrongs might not, but 3 lefts does.
I also say this.
I read your posts with interest and appreciate your efforts to provide balance here .
That said, who you voting for?
Choosing one person to vote for is simply playing into the political system and awarding a single person which is what they want you to do.
I’m gonna VOTE RFK if I can. Not even sure if I can in SD. But truly my vote in SD doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter who runs under the Republican ticket this state is gonna vote Red. It’s disgusting. I had a co-worker who is a very devout Christian conservative but a real one, not a blind sheep, had her parents tell her they are voting for Trump because he’s a good Christian man (assuming he was because he is on the Republican ticket). She had to explain to them, no, no he isn’t. Just like Dems who assumed Obama was some kind of peaceful president… the dude drone striked (struck?) more innocent people than any president in history. This is why I hate party lines, people are blinded to reality. It’s disgusting and breeds corruption.
Good and fair answer.
But as we say down south, when you’re ass deep in allegators, it’s not time to worry about draining the swamp. Our political system is what it is at this point. And as a country, it is where it is at this point.
And it’s not about voting the best of the best, or even the best of the worst, but perhaps what direction we go in from here. And there are fundamental differences here.
Nah, time to take the Javier Milei approach and go scorched earth on the DC establishment.
That will take 20 years to accomplish.
Gonna vote for whoever RFK endorses when he drops out this weekend?
I hope he doesn’t. In that case I don’t know. I’d have easily voted for Trump over Biden. I struggle now. I truly do not like Harris, I think her time as a DA was horrid. My parent’s owned and operated a small town cafe in MN during covid and despise what Walz put my parents through. But Trump is a corrupt turd bag too so it really seems like a push at this point.
Well, you are the 5% the campaign ads target now, as in the 5% of voters left undecided.
I always look forward to September, now we get the policy speeches and debates.
I look forward to September as well but it has nothing to do with politics.
Haha
Greatest time of year.
Time to join the Trump train Edgey!
I won’t believe until I see it.
Likely just a PR tactic.
He will endorse Trump and later follow in his father’s footsteps and be Trump’s AG.
People are saying Trump should make him CIA director. That would be one hell of an ironic plot twist.
“Cheryl, they cant try to kill me if im their boss Cheryl!”
I am not some kind of RFK HUGE supporter. I think he is a better option than Trump or Harris overall but there is plenty I disagree with him on. I think I am more apt to vote 3rd party no matter what. Remember, my vote for president doesn’t matter in my state.
Same with ND, its part of the reason why iv never voted. If I had to I would also vote RFK but both parties are actively trying to keep him boxed out of the election but he doesn’t subscribe to either side.
Have to go vote man, the local ballot initiatives matter and are probably even more important to your every day life.
That is truly an insightful post.
OMG. I misread your post. I thought ballot was ballet – and then given Fkey’s recent affairs of the heart.
Still, your post is solid.
I don’t know about the heart situation but still… HA!
I dont talk to her anymore lol, long story.
I was thinking of the ballerina you recently mentioned, not the other one,
Yeah, I was talking about her lol. The date went well enough, its what I found out she did after the date after I dropped her off where I said. NOPE.
So “ballet” was just a cover.
And she expected more money out of you than just paying for dinner.
I spent $160 on her that night. Thats enough for a wasted first date.
For a non recovered alcoholic…yes.
At least you know she’s not a quitter.
Yeah being wheeled out of a bar by EMS at 2AM after lying and saying she doesnt have a problem and was going home lol. Thats not quitting for sure.
That was on your date night?
Yup lol. I dropped her off at her vehicle at like 12:15. Told her to text me when she makes it home. I get home, she texts me at 12:37 that shes home, I say great! Talk to you tomorrow. She did not go home…she went straight back downtown, drank between 4-6 shots of bourbon on top of what we just drank, pissed herself, threw up on the bar and passed out. I was told this story from my bar manager and co workers who worked at our bar upstairs.
Oh my goodness! Awful!
Yeahhh, so I was a little bit in shock hearing this the next day after what i felt was a good date. So, compulsive liar, alcoholic at 34 years old. Ehh, im out, I dont need that drama. I hope she get some help but shes lying to herself too.
The most important statement of the day. Good job Edge.
Like the dems say, vote early and vote often.
Like the Pubs say, keep the voter suppression high to keep the poor and minorities from voting. Both sides play dirty pool with voting. Neither is above it.
My grandma is going to vote for a dem for the first time ever this year. No way she’d stand for it if she was still alive though.
How are the pubs suppressing voting? Anyone rich or poor is free to go vote. And there’s many forms of ID accepted.
ID is racist, duh. Only for voting though. It is perfectly acceptable for flying, tobacco, alcohol, driving, etc. Also, it is definitely not racist to say that minorities are too stupid to get an ID or that they don’t even know what a computer is.
Problem has been solved. Illegals CAN get ID’s now and use them to vote if they are so inclined.
Now, we both know no one would suggest they go and vote.
Of course not and there is definitely nobody registering them to vote.
And thats where the left loses me on this stupid issue. Honestly, if you are too stupid/lazy/ worthless to get a valid ID of any kind then you shouldnt be voting and you’re a drain on society and my checking account. Good riddance.
Sigh… It exists, the Republicans have a vested interest in making it harder for some demographics to vote and it has been documented and has happened, it’s easy to find examples, go for it if ya want.
Dems have a vested interest in Tom Fuckery with voting as well. neither is above being dirty to win. Just more proof that neither has actual moral grounds they stand one, neither gives a shit about this country or you or me. Just winning, that is all that matters. And we can’t keep this shit from happening because Dems go, “My side doesn’t do voter fraud ever” which is wrong it’s provably wrong. But the wool has been pulled over their eyes. Pubs go, “My side would never and has never done any kind of voter suppression!” Which too is very provably wrong.
No, you brought it up, give me a legit, verifiable documented example of a specific group of people that are actively being denied the right to vote. Im not doing your research for you. Thats a bold claim to make, you better back it up. We can discuss voting fraud another day. Im calling bull shit.
You are going to be disappointed with the results. It’s pretty flimsy evidence, if you want to call it that.
It’s one of those things that may have happened once somewhere and now it is tossed around like gospel.
Well there is a lot of evidence of the KKK (AKA democrats) suppressing the black vote back in the day.
That’s even a little before my time.
Anything short of unlimited ballots and ID requirements is “voter suppression”.
I already know its bs. “poor people cant vote” is one of the biggest piles of BS I have ever heard. Unless theres someone with a gun standing in front of the polling booth saying you cant vote, its not happening.
I don’t even know why I’m going to do this, it’s a waste of time. No matter what I bring up you’ll deny/dismiss it. It’s happened, it continues to happen. If you deny it you have an agenda and don’t want to see it. I am sure everything here is a lie in your eyes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_suppression_in_the_United_States
While everything here that is damning to Dems is 100% true… gee shocking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_fraud_in_the_United_States
The only voter suppression thing on your list that isn’t from the Democrats is voter ID which is not voter suppression.
Go to that Wikipedia page and do a find search by pressing ctrl+f or you can do it on your phone as well. Type the word Republican in. You clearly didn’t read any of what I shared. Shocking. Not.
Im not dismissing it, im doubtful of it until I see solid proof. Wikipedia ( a user submitted and edited website) as well as one that is in the same camp as google and big tech and caters its information, is not a reliable source. Please share with me from another source. If scrolling wikipedia is how you are getting your day to day info, idk what to tell you. There’s a reason it wasn’t accepted in academia as a valid source.
Studies have been ran against the descrpencies and wrong info in encyclopedias and Wikipedia… It’s about the same rate. Now obviously when Wikipedia gets things wrong it can be very wrong. But you all are proving my point. Many of the people things in that link are cited legal cases. You don’t want to admit the reality of the situation.
Why do you trust wikipedia as a source?
Boom, thank you.
Like I stated above, the only voter suppression claims come from one side.
It was several elections ago, but black panthers were at polling places in Philly with billy clubs.
That is not considered voting suppression by the “experts”
Check the cited cases in that link. Come back at me later. You guys, are just proving me right. How biased you are and not wanting to see the truth, you don’t care about the truth.
We know the truth… it’s obvious to any rational person… none are so blind as those who will not see.
I want my rights and freedoms… I do not want to be ruled by the insane liberals.
I think Georgia has some ridiculous law that says no one can give water to anyone standing in line to vote no matter how hot it is. If you’ve seen the last season of curb your enthusiasm, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Okay, thats not voting suppression though, thats a dumb state law.
Well, in a way it is. You get thirsty enough to say eff it and you don’t vote because of the law. I’m I wrong to think that this suppresses the voters right in a way?
…bring a bottle of water and stand in line. The Sun and Gorgia weather is not suppressing your right to vote. This is a you problem, not the states or governments. So yes, you are wrong lol. Insanity. Do only poor people get thirsty? Like, what are you even saying?
^^^this^^^ was my biggest push to become a citizen. Not having a say on local initiatives stings.
I was referring more to presidential voting than local things. Im aware local things affect me more.
I just threw up a little
I saw that.
Freaking ridiculous.
The Vikings don’t have the draft picks to pull this idiotic trade off to begin with.
At least he is on a Vet Minimum deal so he wouldn’t cost much.
But as he is Pittsburgh’s presumed started no idea why they would consider trading him.
They have Justin Fields.
Yes I know.
He is a capable backup.
They both suck.
They both suck as starters.
Kind of like Mullins.
Sucks as a starter but a decent, cheap, insurance policy.
Cannot be serious. Must be a day of jokes.
Garners shares/clicks, so smart move on their part.
Nope
i would WAY rather have Sam Darnold (which is a phrase i never thought i would say)
Agree.
I think I’d rather look into acquiring Kirk Cousins than Russell Wilson…
I couldn’t help it.
Well, idiotic Mike Florio thinks Penix is being held out of preseason because he could be the starter over Kirko. So he might be available.
How is it Mike Florio has a job? Seriously… the guy is looney tunes.
Well, he is self employed.
NBC bought a piece of the action and he runs his own thing.
But I have no clue how he is still viable.
Total drive by shooter type of media person.
Flagged for a non-Tuesday Kirko reference.
Tannenbaum is a tool. He comes up with some of the most ridiculous stuff.
I value this guys football opinion as much as he values his hair line.
The good news about this, is that the Vikings tend to do the opposite of expectations.
‘Minnesota still slots in at No. 23′
Consistency is good right?
Kind of like luck… you can all sorts of bad luck!
so speaking of the republican vs democrat blah blah blah…
went on a walk with the family last night, walked by a house in my neighborhood that had a Harris/Walz sign and here is what it said:
“watch out for your neighbors, don’t be WEIRD”
so, this sign could be read in many different ways. I’m ASSUMING it’s supposed to mean like…help your neighbors, be a good neighbor, but then the “don’t be weird” threw me a bit. Until after some googling, i realized the Walz calls Trump/Vance weird, and republicans weird….
I was going to ask the guy who was in the yard with that sign, what exactly that sign meant, but decided to enjoy the walk with my family, vs put him on the spot to explain why he thinks calling others names is acceptable…
i don’t like when trump/vance call people names. I don’t like when harris/walz call people names. (this is for you, edge)
I hate that whole “weird” campaign thing. It’s low brow. Just, “Hey, look, they’re weird! Vote for me instead.”
Everyone is weird. It is pointless.
Even I, as hard as it may be to believe, am weird.
Weird = different.
Different is good, generally.
I am proud to be different in a positive way.
Right now I am sitting at my desk with a rotisserie chicken at 9:20 a.m. Some might call that weird.
It’s pretty awesome, though!
The way your worded this it sounds like you’re just chilling with a rotisserie chicken as like a compadre, not as food. haha. funny mental image.
He’s holding it on his lap like a cat.
Maybe he is ‘choking that chicken’ in his lap?
No kick shaming of course.
It consented, so it is fine.
This is what I envisioned, when I read it. Now I can’t unvision it.
Wren with his rotisserie chicken
lol
This is accurate…
Nothing like a good rotisserie chicken to make a person feel less alone in the world…
We got a rotisserie chicken at Costco last week. There wasn’t even a line for it like in the SoCal Costcos.
It almost feels like the Dems are like, if we can’t beat em, join em. Many, many Pubs have heralded the rally cry of FJB, and repeated it back like mindless robots but don’t have a clue about actual policy, now the many many Dems that don’t know about actual policy have some dumb thing to chant and rally behind. It’s all sad.
That was hilarious when it happened. Man that was funny… then it got really old and just let me know who’s a mindless dumb dumb drone.
Even if it’s 90 degrees out I wear my LGBFJB hoodie every day.
lol “I think they are saying ‘Let’s Go Brandon'” …stupid reporter…can’t make it up, it never gets old.
The actual video doesn’t get old, agreed. That was so damn funny.
lol. The name calling stuff is so dumb. I do have to say I find it interesting what actually ruffles Trump’s feathers though. Like, so much of it is just water off his back but that being called weird bothered him and struck a chord. Like, here’s a guy who will shit all over someone’s wife and do these very personal attacks but then being called weird throws him for a loop. Trump is weird, he is. He’s an odd duck which is exactly what made him a great TV personality, if he was normal it’d be boring. It’s funny the Dems doing this like Biden is a weird fuckin guy either haha.
Politics has gotten so outrageous that it’s hard to watch grown men and women acting like middle school kids. It’s worse than I ever remember by far.
The debate was ridiculous. Biden and Trump just attacking each other back and forth like children. I turned to my wife and said, “These two guys are world leaders?”
The “joy” branding of Kamala and the “weird” branding of Vance are mean-girl level tactics. No substance for policy because they know it will be torn to shreds and the only shot to win is to reshape the image of the opponent.
Low-level, embarrassing stuff for our country.
Just missed this drama.
Went to AFB yesterday morning for grocery shopping. At the same time a the bank in the small town just outside the base was being robbed. After a chase stopped by a PIT maneuver on the interstate the guy was caught and the money recovered.
See that stuff in SoCal all the time, don’t expect it in Idaho.
https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/crime/bank-robbery-suspect-arrested-following-high-speed-police-chase-mountain-home/277-981b96db-38ae-4ca8-827f-acf0a0c36003
Crime is everywhere.
I used to live in Twin Cities and complained about traffic.
I live in rural Delaware and the traffic is just as bad.
Not as many cars, but fewer roads.
It’s always something.
We used to hear police sirens several times a day back in SoCal now we might hear them once a week or two. And this town we are in is much bigger than the one where we were.
So more a case of amount of crime vs the lack of crime I guess.
Any highlights from the rap concert, I mean DNC last night? I had to quit watching after Lil John performed unfortunately.
I am sure you referred to the RNC as the Trailer Park Trash concert because of Kid Rock performing right? Naw, it’s only the left doing these shallow appeals to the masses, per the usual the right would never do such a thing.
You regard republicans as trailer trash?
I thought they are for the evil rich.
Hay I thought the Clintons were trailer park trash, and millionaires too.
And poor poor Bernie, was an absolute nothing for decades, runs for President, and is now a millionaire.
Are you saying he was referring to Dems as a rap? I was saying Kid Rock’s musical genre is Trailer Park Trash. Not the people ya dingus!
Not sure what onceb4idie’s point was.
But you called republicans trailer trash for listening to Kid Rock.
I didn’t know the genre of Kid Rock was officially trailer trash.
What other musicians fit the “trailer trash” genre?
I came across a bunch of Kid Rock jokes awhile back. They were pretty funny.
My favorite was “Kid Rock is the soundtrack of copper theft” or something to that effect.
Haha, I’ve seen those, so good.
That’s a pretty methed up joke.
he called it a “rap concert” the word rap being used as the genre of music. Truly Kid Rock is just pop, sometimes it’s Pop Hip Hop, Pop Rock, Pop Country, depends on the song. I was making fun of Kid Rock and his shitty music not the people while also pointing out I doubt Onceb4 boiled down the RNC as just a shitty Kid Rock concert. You guys are so offensive toward one side then not oddly enough VERY defensive about your side… shocking.
I was just curious as to why you called him trailer trash. Your words.
I’m no kid rock fan. I can’t even tell you what his number 1 song or album is/was. So you are completely wrong that I was offended.
Not shocked by you at all. You are a one way street, most of the time.
I never said you were offended. I said you were on the offensive towards one side while completely defensive about the other side. But facts be damned.
Funny how nobody wanted to touch the actual hypocrisy I pointed out… interesting right?
I never made one comment about anything.
I was just curious as to why you think Kid Rock music is trailer trash.
Obviously because he’s a Republican, white and sings songs about beer.
And shoots cans of Bud Light.
I don’t care what his beliefs are, but I will say that he puts on a good show. I’ve seen him twice and he doesn’t disappoint. Always has a couple of hotties up on stage with him dancing to the songs also.
I like when they blare the “Born in the USA” anthem (as when Harris got the requisite number of delegates). As someone NOT born in the USA I sometimes think that people listening to that song think it is a fiery pro American anthem.
Wait??? You mean its not?
Bernie railed against billionaires then immediately after him, a billionaire governor from Illinois chimed in. Fun stuff.
He is upset at billionaires because he himself if only a millionaire?
Correct.
It used to be that millionaires were bad, before he became a millionaire.
Yes and they pushed him out. I thought it was funny that the billionaire that followed him, who inherited all of it, called himself a real billionaire, unlike Trump.
‘Nouveau riche’ the old money people call it. Quite pejorative
The irony in Bernie’s speech was amazing. The crowd cheered as he said that the elites in both parties should not be able to simply install somebody, including in primary elections. All while they are spending the week doing just that after doing the same thing 4 years ago and 8 years ago.
It was a local law enforcement officer who got the shooter first, apparently.
SMFH
I saw that too. Crazy.
Time to get over that hump…
Wish she would take a few steps to her left so as not to risk shooting her partner in the back of the head. They should teach that stuff at the Star Trek Academy.
don’t worry, phasers were set to stun, he would have been fine
Good catch. I also must point out that the male is far more athletic and therefore gets into firing position much more quickly….but you know…..DEI…
Maybe she was coming from further away?
She is way hotter than the male so I will allow it in this case as long as it is not the back of my head she is aiming at.
Maybe she was busy breast feeding, all the top agencies (Secret Service) do that on duty.
ha! I was going to mention the breast feeding thing as well.
I think that was the actress that quit after the first season because Star Trek was beneath her.
If I weren’t a happily married man being “beneath her” wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
Agreed, I could think of worse places to be.
Send her a fan letter. You never know!
If she responds then you could ask your wife for a ‘pass’.
I am sure that will go over well.
Get through today and then off to the lake in the morning for the weekend.
Morning Skoloholics
Well two humps are better than one.
I don’t know….I am getting too old for a double hump day.
I think you would just need the right ‘inspiration’, and a lot more recovery time of course.
As Toby Keith said ‘I’m not as good as I once was but I’m as good once as I every was’. It was even in the video.
Happy Hump Day!
