    direct quote from a buddy of mine who is down there that saw an exchange between a cop and a protester

    Cop: "We'll let you back in the park once it is safe."
    Protester: "It is safe! It was safe before we had pigs and guns in here! Get that out and the park is safe!"
    Cop: "Ma'am, you're being very rude."

    then the cop shook his head and walked away from her

    Man, I can't even wrap my head around what it must be like to live in a place with police like that.

    Next you'll tell me that they're helpful and give directions and stuff!

    i regularly ask cops for directions, they're actually really knowledgeable and helpful on the subject

    Hmm.

    Just got clarification from someone higher up on the food chain. It's not company wide. It's just our DS3 line here is broken and we're on back up service. Verizon has to fix this somehow.

    FUN TIMES.

    Yeah at least when religious nuts get their way we find ways around them like when they banned ice cream sodas on Sunday we came up with the sundae!

    This is seriously a thing that happened.

    I like lullabies. The ones that were sung to me as a kid were all the right mix of happy and sad. I'm gonna take care to remember them and sing them to the kids I'll have one day.

Thanks cop. Didn't even want to deal with the court just paid the fucking $20 ticket.

    my grandma sang a lullaby that's become kinda meta

    since it's about "the first song I heard was mother's song by the crib" and how it's still a soothing memory throughout life and you hear it quietly from your mother's grave when life is getting hard

    and that is one of the first songs I and a lot of people remember and it's still a soothing memory throughout life and will probably be the main thing I remember about grandma after she passes away.

    Canadian Police don't sound very much like police at all.

    "Hey, you! Stop doing that illegal thing!"
    "No!"
    "Well I tried, here let me help now."

    The best part is, they usually drop the charge if you show up to court with the pink slip saying you got your inspection.

    we just had a classy case with a local cop.

    he was driving on a local street drunk going like 85. Hit 7 parked cars and killed a 82 year old woman.

    no charges

    What was she doing out at that hour anyway? Probably peddling drugs.

    "Well I tried, here let me help now."

    From my experiences as a teen, that's pretty accurate.

    "Hey, stop doing that guys!"
    "Relax, we're almost done, we'll leave in a bit."
    "O-okay."

    So here's my new blimp envelope:
    Dynablimpmk2.jpg
    Versus my first one:

    Dynablimp.jpg

    It's still not retaining air as well as I'd like but it's much better than the first attempt and the quality of construction is vastly superior. That said, I'm probably going to move away from mylar and onto heat sealable materials for later Lighter Than Air craft because the butt taping/over taping process is far too labor intensive and I think I lose mass advantage with all of that damn tape. Then again aluminized mylar on its own probably retains gases better than uncoated plastic but if there are pinhole leaks and whatnot then that point is moot

    We had a townie pulled over by a statey for driving drunk and the townie was hauled off to the state jail for it. Of course, that's not good enough for some people, who are bitching that the townie got "special treatment" for not having a field sobriety test done. Despite the fact the guy is facing charges for drunk diving for all the other evidence.

    last year, the police handling of the G20 protests was a clusterfuck

    i think they learned a lot from that and are putting that to good use

    ...sometimes, picking a fight with the police is just the right kind of protest

    there's a reason that like every big european riot lately have been sparked by somebody getting killed by the police
