  • Uh the officer’s life was at risk.

    Are you implying the cop should have let the guy grab his gun?

    Guy was a J6 rioter. By definition, stupid and crazy. Prone to making bad decisions, including a vocal declaration of suicidal intent to a police officer. What stops the guy from putting the gun to his head, then thinking “hey wait, I’m on Team Trump! Surely he’ll pardon me for this too!” And then shooting the cop instead?

    Should the cop have run away? Now you’ve got a J6 rioter with a gun in a stolen police cruiser.

    Please run us through the scenario in which it’s a good idea to let the mentally unstable rioter grab his gun.

    And I’m not cheering the cop, either. I’m betting the cop is a fellow Republican, because…cop… but also because he foolishly trusted the J6 rioter to act reasonably and rationally. When the information presented by his computer stated this individual has a rap sheet and this situation was going to become an arrest, cop could have properly and immediately performed the arrest by standing between guy and car door then cuffing guy, thus not allowing guy the opportunity to make another stupid decision.

    Cop treated this 70 in a 55 like it was a normal boring 70 in a 55 by a normal boring citizen, and this is what happened.





  • Depends how separate you want these.

    One option is to make a second user in Mint, the OS level. This would isolate the Firefox settings for each username from each other. But this would also create separate home folders, so if you’re regularly using the same files in your personal stuff and college stuff I could see that being annoying.

    Second option is to install a second browser, and just use that browser for your college account. Personal logins in Firefox, and only the college account in Chrome or whatever.






  • They rarely get hurricane direct hits, but deal with the remnants of major hurricanes a lot. Not many homes are storm proofed like you’d see in Florida though. Clearly their city storm sewer infrastructures are not equipped to deal with the combination of a high annual rainfall followed by a deluge like this.

    Edit: I want to clarify that Eastern NC is more prepared than out west, the eastern half sees stronger hurricane remnants more often than out west, where they still get them but they’re weaker from the mountains. Not this time, apparently.






  • Definitely not. There’s Teddy Roosevelt National Park, which is gorgeous, but it doesn’t attract nearly as much tourism of all the stuff that’s four hours south…

    South Dakota has Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, Mammoth Site, Black Hills National Forest, Deadwood and Sturgis, a couple good private zoos in Reptile Gardens and Bear Country. All of that stuff is within a 1 hour drive of Rapid City, which has plenty of good hotels and restaurants and just generally what you’d expect from a modern midsize city. Rapid City is honestly worth the trip for anyone, but If you’re a real outdoorsy person then you could easily enjoy a month out there. Oh and then not that far away (relatively speaking - 2 hours drive) is Devil’s Tower in Wyoming.

    So no… NoDak is comparatively sparse. And they probably like it that way.
