  • That’s actually pretty quick…

    Whenever you decide to eat it, definitely restart the crown.

    Just be aware that “ripe” for sale and “ripe” as in eat immediately are two different things. I’m not sure about pineapples specifically, but I think they’re one of the ones that ripen after being harvested. So you want to leave it longer than if it was commercially harvested.

    I’m pretty sure even on the Hawaiian plantations they have to harvest differently for the overpriced “fresh” pineapple stuff. With economy of scale most is harvested much earlier. Yours still seems pretty bright, so it probably has a much larger inedible core right now than it will later.

    But again, going off memory so look it up to be sure before you cut it off.



  • They don’t have body cams…

    That’s why the recent video of Jonathon Ross murdering someone was shot with a cellphone in his left hand while his gun was in his right.

    He was consciously focused on getting video because he felt he had put himself in a position to justify the shooting.

    But they don’t have body cams rolling the whole time because it would catch all the completely unjustifiable shit they do.

    Quick edit:

    This gives the justifiable step of subpoenaing all personal phone records and content of every ICE agent for evidence of abuse of force…

    Our politicians won’t do it yet, but it’s something to keep in mind for after midterms.

    ICE agents won’t delete the worst shit, some idiot will keep it saved. So even a year from now it’s worth doing.






  • Yeah, it’s good to take a reality check every once and a while.

    The chances of anyone needing to use any gun are practically zero, even with shit as crazy as it is.

    A “bag gun” or truck gun is really only something you’d need if society has broken down to the point you being attacked for who you are or what you have is likely, but openly carrying a rifle would just make you a target for that rifle. Which is a very narrow window as fast as things collapse historically. Like, you could argue it’s a way to defend against a mass shooter at a protest, but a handful of people openly carrying rifles would likely prevent it from even happening in the first place because that’s also a visible deterrent.

    Like, shits cool, and shooting guns is literally addicting. But a truck/bag gun is an idea you start using to justify purchases once you already have a solid rifle, CCW, plate carrier, and full size pistol.

    Nothing wrong with it, but reality checks are important, especially when people get too used to it and just leave guns laying around like Easter Eggs for anyone to find.



  • Well…

    For the first time in 30 years the DNC elected a non biased chair.

    One who ran Minnesota’s state party for a decade turning it from purple to one of the most progressive in the nation. And for that whole decade he never put a finger on the scale in a primary. And fully backed anyone that made it to the general. He even waited till Mamdani won the primary before endorsing him and saying the DNC should emulate his campaign and policy

    And within a year of him leaving, stuffs kind of going to shit, so it seems like he was doing something.

    Then there’s how for that year we’ve seen the largest re-investment from DNC to state parties, with extra money going to red states because that’s where we can gain the most seats and it’s already translated to big gains in special elections…

    So it working out great, you just won’t hear about the good shit from billionaire owned media






  • There is basically no chance they’ll be able to amend the constitution, which is what that requires

    All it requires is them doing it and no one stopping them…

    Trump’s not Biden, he just does shit and sees who stops him in time. Fuck man, he tried to hang his VP last time he was supposed to leave office.

    I think there’ll be elections, be I also think shit will be a lot worse than Jan 6th this time. The guard/military will be there, but who knows for which side.


  • I took a graduate level stats class, and I’ll never forget the prof saying:

    It’s easy to get the numbers you want, anyone can do that. The hard part is finding the actual numbers, and being able to explain them.

    Nate got a lot of credit early for highlighting common sense things no one was paying attention to, but as soon as he got big he started writing opinion articles with his numbers, and then started finding numbers that backed up his opinions.

    And I could have sworn he got in trouble for gambling on political prediction sites, and maybe even trying to use his site to swing votes to back his bets…

    But now when I try to search it online, all that comes up is results for a book he wrote on his gambling addiction and it’s not on his Wikipedia.





  • A used p320 for $300 and a flux frame for $400 is a lot more practical and stowable than an AR pistol.

    Obviously it’s still a pistol round, but it’s barely bigger than a pistol with a longer barrel than an mp5.

    But honestly, it’s never safe to leave a firearm in a vehicle, even if just for a minute, even if it’s in a locked compartment inside a locked vehicle.

    Like, the only exception is if you own a ranch or something and the vehicle stays on your property, but there’s dangerous wildlife.
