Simple, easy disguise for armed robbers.

Hard to describe what they looked like, even if you have it on video.

You always have to play the cards you're dealt. Take the good with the bad.

Perhaps just bad engineering. That ought to raise construction costs astronomically.

A floating ballroom? Like the Titanic had?

Hilarious.

The term apparently exists. It's sealing the basement area of a building built on ground with a high water table. Sealed to prevent outside water from entering. Hence, the reverse part.

Does somebody have a leaky ballroom?

Is this the groundwork being laid for a leaky foundation?

What a Moron.

Ironically, 5 of those countries have Kings or Queens. I guess it's working out better there.

It is an unbelievable conspiracy by the least righteous and most corrupt.

It's an interesting perspective that's hard to argue with.

Thank you, Susan, for your detailed account of the political breakdown of other states. I appreciate it.

It shocks me that there are only 15 forward thinking states.

It's either that or the American Christian Nationalist Grand Old Party of Pedophiles.

The frequency of these numbers is astounding.

Yet so much more than just a lamp. It perfectly lights the character of that home. Great shot.

4ft. Of depth change can cause an air over expansion pressure injury if divers dont continually exhale. Maybe his lungs weren't fully inflated. I think he was lucky. Back up regs, bail out bottles, or pony tanks are cheap insurance. I've used them all.

Bottom of the ninth, in a tied "must win series game", bases are loaded, 3 - 2 count on the batter, they've seen all your best pitches, and your grandma, mother, girlfriend, and all your former exes have their life savings bet on a win.

Go Johnny, Go!

I never yelled at or threatened emergency services personnel in 31.5 years of policing. I never had to. We were all on the same team trying to help people and do the right thing.

It's hard to explain. Then, he tries to screw Canada over a barrel.

And you wonder why we dont travel there or buy your stuff.

Go figure.

And by slappable stupid, i mean assaulting anyone, assaulting a co-worker, or assaulting me. And intentionally damaging police cars, police buildings,,,,that sort of stupid.

15.10.2025 02:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That's worked approx. 97% of the time in my life. But it really depends on HOW they're being stupid.

Cuz if it's slappable stupid, you just can't ignore that.

If it's just stupid stupidity, yeah, walk away.
