WTF-Beta

I haven't looked at CL in years! I never bought anything from there, but in 2019 I poked around a lot there while I was piano shopping.

@Piano-Dad said in In Minneapolis:

the shooter apparently released video to exculpate himself, which does the exact opposite.

It certainly does.

@Piano-Dad said in In Minneapolis:

The feds are preventing MN from investigating. The state must take over anyway, do the best it can, and bring the issue to a grand jury.

Agreed.

OMG

Ok I googled, most likely pest control, those are used to prevent bed bugs.

Why on earth would not remove those for the photos ??

Btw this is from this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/realestate/manhattan-brooklyn-homes-for-sale.html

It’s a 2.something million dollar townhouse in Brooklyn. With an idiot for a real estate agent, I guess.

Does anyone know what these tray-like things are for under the legs of this bed? I saw this in a real estate photo in NYT and was curious, because to my eye, it looks like someone is worried about critters or something, but I can’t figure out what it would be. And if I were prepping real estate photos, I would remove anything like that just because it makes the viewer wonder what’s going on.

Yikes!!!

I meant to post this earlier...

I think @wtg gave us a nice summary of @andyd 's and @wtg 's takes on this issue:

I place the responsibility for the outcome much more on the agents than on her. You seem to be indicating that the blame is all on her because she didn't follow an order.

I just want to say for the record that I agree with @wtg

The ICE agents are acting not in good faith, they are behaving unethically and most likely illegally. They cover their faces, they are responsible for "disappearing people," and as @wtg points out, they consistently act like completely untrained idiots. They are terrorizing communities across the country, and they shouldn't have been in this community in the first place.

The responsibility for this tragedy rests fully on them.

@wtg

the whole episode was unnecessary escalation and is a result of the administration-induced hysteria. Constant chaos and knee jerk reactions.

This exactly.

Thanks!

It’s from someone on Reddit.

Can you share a link?

I’ll check out the cnn link as well.

@wtg which article is this from?

This will keep happening. All over the country.

It is beyond wrong.

Onions

Shoot. I can't do onions, and neither can my mother.

We usually get Rao's, my favorite is to mix one jar of "sensitive" and one jar of "roasted garlic." Neither of those have onions.

I ended up not trying Mezzetta, which you posted about in the past, because it has onions too.

I'm quite happy with Rao's, it's just pricey (even on sale).

@RealPlayer said in Potential anti-aging treatments:

If I identify as as mouse, can I get the treatment now?

me too please!

@wtg oh wow, that does sound promising! I wonder how long it will take to get from this point in the research to where the product will be available for general medical treatment. I have osteoarthritis in both knees (worse in right) and in my thumbs, in addition to my ongoing feet problems, esp. Achilles tendonopathy, which is related to loss of collagen in the tendon. So it sounds like this could be relevant for all of those issues, and you would think that a pill-form treatment would have more global impact rather than being localized to knees only (for example).

IOW, I hope they hurry.

@jon-nyc OMG that would be funny except it's too accurate.
