usually used for hazardous substances, so could maybe be
but the guys that rolled in after brought in 2 telephone/power poles
and it was all going on behind the neighbor's house so idk wtf they were doing
friend's theory is they could've used it when clearing the area and thawing ground to do whatever work, and they just sucked up the slop and slush for easy removal

Knowing that I'm a statistic and that I deserve to be one.

New thread name: Whats Ticking You(Monk) Off or maybe Mr. Monk's Wild Ride

SIL was on the news last week talking about how ICE and daycare scrutiny was negatively affecting her daycare businesses, both employees and clients.

Now someone has broken into her house. Luckily it was their old house they just moved out of, that doesn't have much there, and nothing seemed stolen.
They are storing an Escalade for her brother there, but the keys were still on the table and not taken.
But it is in a townhome community and pretty unheard of in that area. They also still regularly go in and out of there so it hasn't been sitting empty either.

My brother thinks they were targeted due to the news segment, and I also think it's likely.

This happened yesterday as we went to pick up our father's ashes and death certificate.

hope it was either unrelated or the dipshit bootlickers find something new on Fox to get pissed about soon

I keep picking books that are kind of out of my league.
They shouldn't be, but that's what drinking and watching baseball get you.
So now I find myself sitting next to a stack of books and it's like I could finish the Ty Cobb biography or the William Sherman one or Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (reread, but still) or Butler's Bodies That Matter and then my brain is like do you know how many episodes of The Twilight Zone were written by women.
Answer: One.
Anyway, I think I need to go back to pop science and Tolstoy until I get my chops back up.

I'VE ONLY FINISHED ONE OF THEM HOW IS THAT A BRAG.

Why is Butler so hard.

Also the Sherman one is by a British military historian which feels disrespectful.

Okay, tangential, but sometimes I'm reminded that French writers from like the '40s to the '60s thought that if people understood you that you were pedestrian and a dork.

Which I don't like because I read Discipline and Punish with no trouble and then someone told me about how Paul Morris fisted a guy in a bath house on Folsom and afterward someone was like do you know who that was? Michael Foucault. And he was like, Oh.
So even when you're up to the wrist in them, French thinkers are unknowable.
