so how is it states' rights when you're making a thirteen year old deliver a baby and insurrection when California and Oregon and Illinois say okay fine, we'll lock arms and bounce your asses out?

*whispers* you'd be surprised a couple of the absolute cheese wheels I somehow manage to keep drumming up work for

man, my boss would be salivating at the thought of bringing you on. We don't have a sealed system guy atm

the Platonic form of the yeet

Crispy Hexagons are my ride or die

But seeing things that way makes people less safe, because it sets a high stakes environment where EVERYONE has to comply to my set of conditions or else DANGER. People who perceive they're operating in a high stakes environment tend to misjudge risk. Danger for everyone increases.

When someone starts exhaling meth or fent on a train here in Portland, I disembark. It's surprisingly easy and avoids the troubling assumption that I'm the center about which events revolve. I'm a reformed user of hard drugs with a young son so lord knows if I wanted to bang that drum I could.

We used it in my family but in mixed company I've taken to using 'you don't need to wash my car about it' and somehow everyone still understands

Now?

All those peaceful scenes of the waterfront, our parks, etc. are real reflections of Portland. So's this.

that's really beautiful and I can't stop laughing.

preciousmost boy of our very hearts.

this is the second time she hit with 'You are an officer of the court.' she was mad

One hop this time

Fortunately once SCOTUS says courts can't stop Trump from sending Texans to kill Oregonians the Democratic leadership will have some strong points about kitchen table issues

hard to live up to a name like Immergut. AND YET

and we're so unapologetic. Hell yes it sucks! We love it! It's gorgeous, get a load of this bullshit! Portland is a special place but if it's a grudge it's held by Miller or someone who got turned down by an Acrop dancer fifteen years ago

it's my best and worst quality. it's kept me alive and it's kept the world at arm's length. I agree, a committed hater needs to wield it artfully and be well-insulated so as not to be consumed from within.

if they hate being told no enough, I think. they know us as much as does kellen browning. only a hunch but we are the smallest city he's fixated on. the idea that our mid shittowne thumbed its nose so universally. how dare we think ourselves above him? better than?

Judge Immergut has now granted a second Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), against the deployment of ANY National Guard (50 states + DC) to Oregon.

This will also be appealed, like yesterday's. The facts on the ground continue to matter to these ongoing legal proceedings.

yeah boss. real slow zoom just like you wanted
boss: what

sounds like a third order may be in order.

the jar after adding vinegar and then again after adding the salt water. Stick in fridge. Invert daily and shake. Don't eat it for a bit.

Saturate the water with salt, stirring to ensure you get as much as can dissolve. Add spices of your choice to the jar. I used fennel and garlic. Super simple, I don't know how the rice vinegar will affect it & too many variables make a wasted experiment. Close the jar. You should close and invert

So, I like this recipe but we'll see how it works. Thinly slice green tomatoes. Boil an inch of water. Stick the tomatoes in a nice clean jar and fill it halfway with vinegar. I used rice vinegar. Take the water off the heat when boiling hard and dump enough so the pan has only what you need. >>>

The tomatoes, thinly sliced with a couple cups of vinegar in an Asaro olive jar from Costco.

Pickle complete. The jar is now full and cloudy with particulate matter and sliced tomatoes.
