Rumor: it sucks

Met him a couple months ago

nice guy

definitely a bitch

It may get into your ventilation/ceiling and eventually wander inside, get trapped and shit everywhere.

Happened with my apartment :(

Your average bat can slip through spaces/cracks about as narrow as the thickness of dime and it doesn't need to be very wide either. Their fur makes them look thicker then they are and their bodies are oily and flexible.

Kinda similar to rats or cats ability to fit through shockingly small spaces.

I'd recommend taking a close look at your home for any openings and take measures to fix any cracks and see if its possible to add some anti bat/bird covers to things chimney or vents. Building a bat house nearby may encourage them to roost their instead of on/in your home as well.

Because many bats are protected so it may be illegal to remove it without it actually entering the living areas or being aggresive/rabid. Also it eats pest bugs like Mosquitoes.

Tomorrow is your night. You are the main events. Vote.

I just cannot get my head around how scummy and yet alarmingly simple the whole arrangement was, from the right.

1. Ban August special elections on the grounds of their having low turnout and unfairly pushing things through that would otherwise fail Fair enough.

2. Set up an August special election two months later to make it nearly impossible for voters to ammend the state constitution, yo block an abortion amendment in November. A shitty, hypocritical move.

3. Force pro-life organizations to push "vote No on issue 1" to stop your bullshit roadblock bill.

4. Hypocritical roadblock bill fails. Good.

5. Make the abortion ammendment Issue 1, so the pro-life campaigners have to hard pivot to "Vote YES on issue 1," immediately after riding their victory and with barely two months to the election.

It's such a shameless, brazen, yet brilliantly simple move to confuse voters and flagrantly throw out the will of the people.

I only hope that it confuses the simple-minded among their own voter base, as well.

so Illinois is not an island surrounded by states with weak protections.

I had one banner on fucking Wikipedia of all things that say "Sorry, but you only had a 5% chance of seeing this."

It was their banners about keeping the site running and away from big business, but that threw me for a big loop since I was only looking up the Finnish word for "triangle".

Even if the military overthrows Trump, we would still be in a scary situation. A military coup in the US would lead to some fucked up shit of its own, unless the military immediately surrenders power. And I don't trust some General who just gained total control, to do that

Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please dont use it if you hate humor!

I just want more players like Shaq. Dominant inside game, bullying in the paint, that sort of thing.

I doubt it. If your teams was making all them 3s I bet people wouldn't be complaining nearly as much.

27 missed 3s in a row. they should have lost all their fans after that.

steph is my favorite player ever but i hate the effect the warriors and d'antoni/rockets with analytics had on the nba.

"Surely once Republicans win again, that will pave the way for our policies!"

They said as they get pushed into an unmarked van.

Good luck.

We're sworn to the Constitution, not Trump.

He already tried this during the protests and was told no

Project 2025 lays out a plan to purge non-Trump loyalists from the federal government and deploy the military to "crush his opponents", which includes but is not limited to political dissidents, the media, academia, atheists, immigrants, and members of the LGBT community..

And they clutch their pearls when we call them fascists.

Already looking ahead to the public unrest his hypothetical re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.

The Washington Post reported Sunday that the drafting of such plans has largely been unofficially outsourced to a coalition of right-wing think tanks working under the title Project 2025, according to one insider and internal communications obtained by the newspaper.

In response to questions, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, President Trump is focused on crushing his opponents in the primary election and then going on to beat Crooked Joe Biden. President Trump has always stood for law and order, and protecting the Constitution.

The Post also reported, citing people whove spoken to him, that Trump has remarked in recent private conversations that hed like to use the Justice Department to go after his enemies, including former members of his administration like Bill Barr and Gen. Mark Milley.

In a 2-1 ruling Friday, a federal appeals court ruled that Illinois assault weapon ban does not violate the U.S. Constitution, setting up a likely appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution recognizes an individual right to keep and bear Arms. Of that there can be no doubt, the majority opinion began, citing a string of recent Supreme Court cases. But as we know from long experience with other fundamental rights, such as the right to free speech, the right peaceably to assemble, the right to vote, and the right to free exercise of religion, even the most important personal freedoms have their limits.

The decision involved three consolidated cases that challenged the states assault weapon ban as well as local ordinances enacted in Cook County, Chicago and Naperville. Both the state law and the Naperville ordinance were passed in response to a mass shooting last year at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park that left seven people dead and dozens more injured and traumatized.

Illinois lawmakers passed the state law during a special lame duck session in January, and Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker signed it within hours of its passage out of the General Assembly.

The new law sparked immediate challenges in both state and federal courts.

The Illinois Supreme Court upheld the law in August against narrow challenges under the state constitution. But the broader legal issues were aired in federal courts, where judges in different districts reached different conclusions.

One judge in the Southern District of Illinois ruled in April that the law violated the Second Amendment of the constitution. But two judges in the Northern District came to the opposite conclusion. Those three cases were then consolidated in the appeal to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judge Diane Wood wrote the majority opinion, joined in concurrence by Judge Frank Easterbrook, while in a 44-page dissent nearly as long as the opinion itself Judge Michael Brennan wrote the state and municipal governments that enacted the bans failed to meet their burden to show that their bans are part of the history and tradition of firearms regulation.

He also ripped his colleagues remarkable conclusion that personal ownership of assault-style weapons and high-powered magazines is not protected by the Second Amendment. The majority wrote the firearms banned under Illinois law are much more like machine guns and military-grade weaponry than those typically used for self-defense, like handguns.

The AR-15 is a civilian, not military, weapon, Brennan wrote. No army in the world uses a service rifle that is only semiautomatic. Even so, the majority opinion uses a civilian firearms military counterpart to determine whether it is an Arm.

Gun control advocates issued immediate statements praising the decision.
This is an important victory in the fight against gun violence, and a victory for all states and municipalities that are fighting to keep their residents safe,

Douglas Letter, chief legal officer for the anti-gun violence group Brady, said in a statement. States and cities should have the right to stop these weapons of war from decimating our communities, and this ruling demonstrates that assault weapon bans are indeed constitutional.

Gov. JB Pritzker praised the courts opinion, saying in a statement the majority recognized the assault weapons ban as a commonsense law and urging Congress to pass an assault weapons ban so Illinois is not an island surrounded by states with weak protections.

Despite constant attacks by the gun lobby that puts ideology over peoples lives, here in Illinois we have stood up and said no more to weapons of war on our streets, Pritzker said. This is a victory for the members of the General Assembly who stood alongside families, students and survivors who worked so hard to make this day a reality.

Fridays opinion comes in the midst of a series of Illinois State Police hearings on the part of the assault weapons ban law that allows gun owners who already possess banned weapons and high-capacity magazines to be able to keep them so long as theyre registered with the state.

Leftists really have a problem with letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I never participated.

I still havent seen that movie.

But Ive realized as life goes on, movies are only best enjoyed when you absolutely have nothing else to do, which is seldom for me. I still would say I watch TV daily, but not as much as a kid for sure. Most things I see are just what my girlfriend happens to put on anyways. I also dont really understand binge watching.

They also seem to not know that most Confederate statues were built years later to protest the fact that black people were free and intimidate them.

Even tuna salad?

It's more like ham radio. Antiquated but still functional, with a dedicated group of eccentrics who still engage with the medium.

Where are my Massachusetts folks on this?

Anyway I call Worcester Sauce by its common name, because I can enunciated.

But the town, I call as Pinky would suggest it.

Shame mayor killed themselves instead of moving to a liberal city where they would be accepted for who they are. I know doing this is how the GOP tends to stay in power since it leaves the Republicans in the city but that what I would have done in that situation.

There's a Long John Silver's/Taco Bell about 15 minutes from me. Only time I've ever seen a LJS in my life.
