They're playing the heel so well, that they manage to avoid scrutiny and public-opinion making, even in the jester's court. Comedy is an invaluable tool for socializing and discussing what ails us all, and these crooks may just be somewhat immune to it.

lisped

Perhaps "beautiful" was heard as "boom-iful"?

Or wads it up into comically oversized metal boxing gloves.

Not if it breaks in half after hitting Doomsday on the head.

A Moscow boot lace.

Sex act, or means of dispatching a political rival?

All I know is that the WSL is a massive step-up from Cygwin or Mingw32. We've been here before. The most recent incarnation before WSL was a klunky VirtualBox VM steered by Packer. The idea that you can mash a few buttons and get an Ubuntu VM with filesystem mapping that "just works" is a huge improvement.

Edit: I really don't get the vitriol anyone gets for using the WSL when it's a problem the FOSS community has tried to solve three times over in the last 25+ years or so.

Time to start selling mirrors.

That's nothing. You should find the animated version...

It's from the movie Predator.

If you want to see what it would look like if the anthropomorphic incarnation of testosterone itself wrote, directed, and acted in a movie, then look no further. It's so full of vitamin-T your voice will drop an octave while watching it, and your unborn grandkids will go into puberty next week.

That's the neat part. It's weaponized feigned incompetence.

After Noem got the definition of Habeus Corpus exactly wrong in a recent hearing, some Lemmings have suggested that the RNC stooges in power are all playing dumb. Now, I can't unsee it. It makes sense: play dirty because your aims are underhanded and illegal, and your opposition is both outraged and busy attacking the wrong thing. Every time we all get in a fit about how stupid this sounds, which takes up valuable space and time from doing anything useful.

Edit: it's like a misbehaving kid that knows if he keeps telling the right kind of lie he can get away with just about anything.

Edit2: In Greene's case, her "argument" is also signaling being a "useful idiot" to her base for getting the job done.

Yes/no. I've seen every permutation over the years though. Some in the median or on the sidewalk with no warning signage, some with. Some just up a pole somewhere out-of-sight with no warning signage. Some big-ol trailer contraptions complete with police/county seals on the front. I've even seen some that were temporary tripods set up in front of unmarked cars on the shoulder, for some mobile overnight shenanigans.

I can't say they're all 100% bad. Just maybe some of the sneakier implementations run afoul of my thesis above.

vandalise

I don't condone that, but that's kind of convenient!

 

FTA:

Two Democratic legislators are introducing a bill on Wednesday aimed at Mr. Musk and the so-called Buffalo Billion project, in which the state spent $959 million to build and equip a plant that Mr. Musk’s company leases for $1 a year to operate a solar panel and auto component factory.

The bill would require an audit of the state subsidy deal to “identify waste, fraud and abuse committed by private parties to the contract.” It would determine whether the company, Tesla, was meeting job creation targets, making promised investments, paying enough rent and honoring job training commitments.

If Tesla was found to be not in compliance, the state could claw back state benefits, impose penalties or terminate contracts.

 

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."
