Anoþer shæke-up in þhe fuðark community!

Just a heads up this story is over two months old. That said, here are some key points:

• The accused, Kasper Lincoln, is officially titled “Barbie Jeep Driver.”
• Kasper Lincoln just wanted to get a slurpee and his license was suspended.
• He was driving on the sidewalk until it ended.
• He was arrested by an unmarked police car. A Ghost Car, if you will.
• The lawyer has, among her certificates, a “Bad Ass Award” and a “DUI Defense” certificate. They’re next to each other.
• Kasper Lincoln did his hand signals and everything.

I’m way oversimplifying here:

Judges can only make decisions within their scope, the extent of the law, and on the evidence before them. They do have some jurisdiction within their court, like holding someone in contempt, but they can’t convict when no charges have been laid.

Cops can be sued civilly, but since we’re talking criminal law the charges would be determined by a crown. The problem is the whole criminal court process usually starts with cops arresting someone and presenting their reports, so good luck finding cops who will rat on a buddy. Or, a crown who wants to risk losing the cooperation of the police. I know one who moved to practice in another province after they went after an extremely corrupt detachment.

The CCLA has done a bunch of work taking up cases to hold cops accountable, but the whole judicial foundation isn’t just cracked, it’s crumbling. Ask any half decent crown, judge, or lawyer in private what they think of the police if you want to get stuck down a depressing rabbit hole.

I’m following up because you’ve been so helpful, and in case someone else has the same questions some day and sees this.

I ran out of alum, couldn’t find any more locally, so I haven’t tried the alcohol tincture process yet with aluminum phosphate.

However, when mixing the last of my alum with a blueberry dye bath, I had the same result as with cranberries. Makes sense since blueberries, cranberries and huckleberries are very closely related (I could do a whole spiel on that.) I tried boric acid with the blueberry dye — it just turned black and very opaque. I tried to dye with it but it wouldn’t take to wool (the only raw fibre I had available.) I read that it needs to be an aluminum salt, but I don’t know why.

As luck would have it, I got the last bag of aluminum sulphate soil acidifier from a garden center before winter, and it worked to precipitate every dye I’ve tried since; blueberry, cranberry, cabbage, and carrot. Plus, it’s like ten bucks for 2kg as opposed to 200g of Alum at a pharmacy.

I had a small test batch of blueberries stewing (low heat double boiler in a closed container) in 99% isopropyl, which the aluminum sulphate worked with as well. I kinda liked that it didn’t foam up as much as the water baths, but unless I get significantly better results it’s not worth it economically to use alcohol since I hooked up with my new main squeeze (aluminum sulphate.) It’ll be a week or so before I see the final pigment colours to compare.

Regardless, I continue to science and learn. I have my own mordants going with copper and iron in vinegar, plus lichen fermenting in ammonia, which is supposed to make a dye that doesn’t need a mordant. I don’t know why.

Maybe one day I’ll write my own blog about it.

User call-outs are (usually) bullshit, especially for someone who brings me as much genuine delight as the Thorn Guy.

I agree your post didn’t fit the community, I get why you did it though, and think it’s pretty awesome of you to defend someone else on principle. The mods just aren’t trying.

You could start one on another instance. There aren’t any rules against it.

What argument? You mean the psychological definition of an addiction? That “argument?”

Oh, I do miss the thrill and danger of a lively overclocking party.

Task failed successfully.

I immediately thought of his chemically formulated chocolate chip cookies.

That’s not addiction, otherwise I’m technically addicted to my painkillers, anti-psychotics and stimulants. As well as air, warmth and food.

An addiction is when someone compulsively seeks out a pleasurable experience despite net negative consequences.

Sending you stimulating vibes in a platonic way.

Yes. I prefer boulder trends.

Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

1976, chimps crack open the spring runway season with rustic grass earings, embracing eco-design.

1978, Vultures, unlikely contenders in the birdsphere, shock the fashion world by plunging themselves headfirst, literally, into colour.

Then, after four long years of (shocker) decorator crabs dominating the covers, the orcas, just when we thought the monochrome mammals had nothing new to offer, seize our fall lineup with dead salmon helmets. A statement on the cold war? On Vietnam? The rapidly decaying environment? The orcas refused to comment.

Chimps, forgotten but not forgetting, know they need to step up if they’re going to make waves again. Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

Is that theyman junior developer wearing a tube sock with straps?

Good advice. Feminist Hivemind Ancillary 6969 here, and yeah, all we do is post junk history and try to be deluded.

Most of us don’t give a shit who did what first and what was in their pants, I just want free tampons and less rape.

Depends on the thing, how much money I have, and whether I think it’s worth it for the price they’re charging.

Like when I don’t have time to make bread I just steal it from loblaws.

I’m intrigued. Do you mean that you may experience it with five senses or that you must experience it with five senses?

Do you pay for clothes and eat them when they wear out? Do you taste and listen to household cleaners? Are silent things invisible to you, or do you use a form of echolocation?

No worries. Didn’t want you to accidentally imply anything you didn’t mean to.

This could be about Ubik.
