So says a team of Israeli researchers who have trained an AI drone-tracking algorithm to reveal the drone operator’s whereabouts, with a better than 80 per cent accuracy level
So the police would only raid the wrong house ~20% of the time with this tech. Incremental improvement is better than nothing, I suppose.
An optimist!
Hey, I thought this was a family-friendly site! Enough with the name-calling.
He’s just trying to get you better eyeglasses.
Ah, he’s an optimician. Everybody’s in it for the money.
The tech only works if the operator remains stationary. Seems easy enough to defeat at this point.
“So says a team of Israeli researchers who have trained an AI drone-tracking algorithm to reveal the drone operator’s whereabouts, with a better than 80 per cent accuracy level. They are now investigating whether the algorithm can also uncover the pilot’s level of expertise and even possibly their identity.”
I think their identity might be a bit much.
yet another way that science journalism sucks. identity is probably discernable if you train the models with flight characteristic training data keyed to identity. However, that’s not even slightly interesting, because we don’t have drone flight characteristic profiles on the general public.
Yet
I think a neural network algorithm would easily be able to find a drone operator if, and it’s a big if, the operator were not aware that their behavior was being analyzed. A randomized flight pattern could be programmed to defeat the algorithm without too much difficulty.
answering the question of where is completely within the realm of reason. answering the question of who seems more science fiction than fact.
Depends how much intelligence you have on Hamas drone pilots. It might not be that hard for IDF.

“I really am interested on this hydroxychloroquine,” McCaskill emphasized. “I’m interested to ask Jonathan Lemire, as he’s in the press room and as he’s working his sources and his news agency is working sources. I’m assuming there’s investigative types out there following the money on hydroxy, because it’s the only thing that makes sense, you know. You know, does Putin have a stake in hydroxy? You know, is the Deutsche Bank backing hydroxy?”
She continued, “It is baffling to me that there is such a chorus within the Trump base and the Trump media outlets and Trump about this drug. It has to be money. Is somebody looking at that? Is there any hope that we’re going to find that there’s somebody who’s making real money off this?”
“Is there any hope that we’re going to find that there’s somebody who’s making real money off this?”
You mean like Fauci did with AIDS vaccines?
Progjection FTW.
Doesn’t Fauci have an interest in one of the competing drugs?
Exactly. Who is pushing the old off patent drug and who is pushing the new hotness. Pretty sure a whole course of hydroxychloroquine is less than a single dose of Remdsivir.
Way less, if I’m not mistaken.
Really? Follow the money on an eighty-year-old generic drug that costs a few cents a dose?
Perhaps, Claire, there would a lot more money to be made if that cheap genetic stuff didn’t work.
If there’s anyone trying to make money off this, it’s the companies with the $1000 COVID drugs, not the $1 drugs.
A while back there was a story about how dental floss isn’t that effective. I have a dentist friend who posted on FB about people telling him he’s been making big money pushing dental floss this whole time. His response was, “Yes, I’m getting rich off a $1.29 product you buy once a month.”

“‘We can wear whatever we want’: Female doctor shares photos of herself in a bikini treating bloodied swimmer as she slams ‘sexist’ study that says medics look ‘unprofessional’ by sharing swimwear shots online
The study, published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery, sparked outrage when it was published this week. It concluded that ‘censored profanity’ such as swearing and ‘controversial social topics’ are unprofessional.
It didn’t refer specifically to female medics but the outraged community have accused it of perpetuating ‘sexism’ in the profession.
The hashtag #MedBikini began circulating on social media this week with doctors posting their swimsuit selfies in defiance of the controversial study. Dr Myhre showed herself working in one to save a patient.
The offending study concluded that photos where doctors are wearing ‘inappropriate/offensive attire’ such as swimsuits, are holding or consuming alcohol or that include ‘controversial political comments’ are ‘potentially unprofessional’ and could impact whether patients choose them as doctors.
The medical community hit back at the research, carried out by three men, slamming it as ‘sexist’ and ‘disturbing’ as calls mount for it to be retracted.”

And in the second pic, how is she in (presumably) in the ER in her bikini, with a stethoscope? Is that part of her beach outfit? Borrow one ?
Let me get this straight. She’s wrong to post a photo where she is treating a patient in an emergency because she is in a bikini. That’s somehow unprofessional. The journal is wrong because they don’t want the profession to draw unneeded controversy. That’s somehow sexist. I hate everyone involved.
Does posting a photo of yourself treating a patient violate HIPAA?
Obviously the lesson is never render aid outside the clininc/hospital.

Obama had a hard-on for using the banking system to achieve his social goals by making it financially impossible to run certain businesses. (As did Bush) Unravelling that system would be a tremendous step towards freedom.
Yes.
A lot of the current state of affairs traces back in one way or another to the anti-terrorism powers the government granted itself. That Obama weaponized them was predictable, but that they could be weaponized was hardly unforeseeable yet both parties passed them with little resistance (and still renew them to this day!).

The show was lousy. Yeesh…
https://theweek.com/speedreads/927905/watchmen-leads-2020-emmy-nominations
It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I really disliked the characterization of Dr. Manhattan, and Rorschach would have hated his “disciples” (but I could at least roll with that). The Klan having super science fits into the comic world alright.
The best thing about Watchmen is how mad Alan Moore gets that the vast majority of people see Rorschach as the hero that he is.
Meh. Rorschach was a psychopathic monster. The one thing that gives him redemption is that he won’t compromise, even at the cost of his own life. He really is a fantastic dark take on the Question and Batman.
He only ever killed criminals, and I mean actual violent criminals. His first actual kill in the novel is the man who raped the little girl and fed her to his dogs. He kills a serial rapist and leaves him outside the police station. He kills the prisoner who attacks him in the cafeteria line. He kills Big Figure and his henchmen. He doesn’t kill any of the cops who arrest him, he doesn’t kill people for jaywalking or anything dumb like that.
Then when God tells him not to speak the truth upon pain of death, he tells God to go fuck himself. Moore’s big way of making him the villain is the absurd premise that Veidt’s mass murder is the eggs that make the omelette. Which is nonsense, and Rohrsach knows it. He spits defiance into the polished, urbane, social engineer who’s murdering in the name of greater good. All he had to was kneel, and live but he wouldn’t. That’s heroic.
He only ever killed criminals shown in the book. Which left out a large portion of his active time. I can easily see him being someone who killed someone who he thought committed crimes.
But I’m on the side that calls his calling out the Doctor and Ozymandias at the end heroic. I don’t think I’d have that kind of courage.
I mean, I’m just going with what’s in the actual comic. Personally, I think if Moore had really wanted to write him chopping up shoplifters to bits, I think he would have put it in there. But he didn’t. Instead, he has him murdering the shit out of genuinely bad people, all of whom have killed, raped, or are actively trying to kill him at the time.
Of course, it does say something about Moore that he thinks the crazy rightwinger who killed dozens, perhaps hundreds of murderers and rapists is the villain for attempting to tell the truth about the intelligent, socially conscious progressive who murdered millions of innocent people.
Like I said, the funny part is that deranged commie Alan Moore is actually upset that most people consider Rorschach the hero, and Ozymandias the villain, when he sees it the opposite. Like, it seems to blindingly obvious to the overwhelming majority of the readers that murdering millions is completely indefensible regardless of your cause, but since Moore is in fact a commie, he thinks the readers are the morons.
GOTCHA!
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, who has refused to wear a mask, tested positive for the coronavirus Wednesday shortly before he was expected to travel with President Donald Trump to Texas.
Gohmert, 66, tested positive during the routine screening at the White House prior to boarding Air Force One, multiple sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The Texas Republican attended Attorney General William Barr’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, sitting for hours in a hearing room with dozens of other lawmakers. Gohmert, along with other Republicans, was seen at times during the day without a mask.
In an interview with a local Texas news station Wednesday morning after learning he was infected, Gohmert said it was “ironic” that he tested positive “because a lot of people have made a big deal out of my not wearing a mask a whole lot, but in the last week or two I have worn a mask more than I have in the whole last four months.”
“I can’t help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place, if I might have put some germs, some of the virus on the mask and breathed it in,” he said.
God’s vengeance on thee, sinner.
Also- the mask which is supposed to trap the plague germs might have trapped some plague germs? Preposterous.
The mask does not protect the wearer. I realize the average idiot cannot understand this, but NBC News can’t even keep the narrative straight.
The mask does not protect the wearer.
People do not think that way at all. I’d argue that most wear it to “protect” themselves. People on the street with their masks under the chin routinely put them on when they pass by me–never wearing a mask–6 or 12 feet apart. I don’t look old or fat.
Well, I guess you could say the mask does protect you: from being issued a citation and having to appear (virtually!) in court.
The mask does whatever the people in favor of it need it do at whatever particular time they need it to. If someone is beating their opponents with a cudgel, they’re not going to care what color the cudgel is. As long as it does its damage.
There is no limit to the miracles that the talismask can perform.
I’d say it’s similar to my tiger rock, except that I’ve never been attacked by a tiger while people with talimasks still somehow contract Covid.
But only because they took the mask off at some point, thereby allowing the virus to penetrate their otherwise impenetrable shield.

“I believe in Joe. I believe in Joe,” Harris said at the rally. “I know Joe. And that’s why I’m supporting him.”
Are you spreading your legs for him too?
At last the teams could no longer resist, and poured onto the field. No shoves or punches were seen, but there was plenty of arguing and shouting as dozens of players and coaches spilled onto the field.
They wore their masks right? That’s all that matters.
Are you spreading your legs for him too?
*barf*
Those are also the things you’d say in a speech about the runners-up in a speech announcing somebody else.
I’m hoping for the crazy fat black lady from Georgia, myself. But I think if its just gotta be a black chick, it’ll probably be Harris.
Agreed. Those are “reasons I’ll still respect you in the morning”, not “reasons I want to marry you.”
I’m holding out for a actual Black American to run for high office, that would be different,
That’s a good point. Even mentioning a possibility that there could have been a grudge would be out of place if she was the pick.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in response to the news on Gohmert that she was “so sorry” for the lawmaker. “But I’m also sorry for my members, who are concerned because he has been showing up at meetings without a mask and making a thing of it,” she said.
When asked about Gohmert, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said he was “concerned about the irresponsible behavior of many of the Republicans who have chosen to consistently flout well-established public health guidance perhaps out of fealty to their boss, Donald Trump, who is the head of the anti-mask movement in America.”
Well established paranoia.

PA nursing home cited for using hydroxychloroquine
“Based on facility documents, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) documents, facility record and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to obtain the necessary approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Health prior to administering a medication that is not a generally accepted practice in the medical community, is not a currently approved medication by the FDA for treatment of the COVID-19 virus outside of the hospital setting for an “Experimental Post Exposure Prophylaxis” treatment for 205 of 435 residents,” officials wrote.
Sweet Meteor o’ Death, please come now!
They were supposed to let them all die.
I wonder what the death rate was compared to similar facilities that used no treatment.
Irrelevant
Truth is no longer a goal, what was I thinking?
Someone filed a complaint about this? There is a special circle of hell for that asshoe.
Leave aside the hydrochloroquine hysteria and koolaid, it sounds like the care facility was conducting an experiment with their patients either with an unnamed or nonexistent research partner, and with no oversight. And that was what they got fined for, not the drug itself.
https://keystonenewsroom.com/story/nursing-home-residents-daughter-pa-didnt-protect-my-dad-from-experimental-drug-study/
Let’s see the consent form the plaintiff claims the facility asked her to sign.
Until I see it, it sounds to me like the facility doctors prescribed HCQ and family members are hoping to hop on a gravy train.
They’re suing the state, not the facility or the doctors.
Doctors can prescribe drugs “off-label” under some pretty flexible standards. If memory serves, they only have to be able to point to literature supporting their off-label use. Which can absolutely be done with HCQ and the ‘Vid.
Sure. But administering as an experimental study is a bit different.
Yeah, there are all kinds of IRBs and informed consent for people who might not be mentally with it enough to consent and a bunch of other hoops they technically need to go through before participating in a study.
The Russians are spreading virus disinformation!

“The disclosure comes as the spread of disinformation, including by Russia, is an urgent concern heading into November’s presidential election as U.S. officials look to avoid a repeat of the 2016 contest, when a Russian troll farm launched a covert social media campaign to divide American public opinion and to favor then-candidate Donald Trump over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.”
………………………….
“Trump himself has come under scrutiny for sharing misinformation about a disproven drug for treating the coronavirus in videos that were taken down by Twitter and Facebook.”
“the 2016 contest, when a Russian troll farm launched a covert social media campaign to divide American public opinion and to favor then-candidate Donald Trump over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton”

Yes, they were all over the place with who they were supporting and the chloroquine stuff was certainly not misinformation either. Dear god do I hate the media.
Fucking pricks: Teachers Wary of Returning to Class, and Online Instruction Too
Teachers in many districts are fighting for longer school closures, stronger safety requirements and limits on what they are required to do in virtual classrooms, while flooding social media and state capitols with their concerns and threatening to walk off their jobs if key demands are not met.
I’m OK with these demands, as long as they are not getting paid. That’s part of the deal, right?
And the lion’s share of our property taxes will be refunded since schools aren’t being used?

Reposted from the last thread:
I have some very bad news. Some of you might recall that I’ve been very invested in the case of Dr Peter Ridd, formerly of James Cook University who (as I reported):
The University appealed, and the appeal was heard last month. This week, the appeals court overturned the judgement, claiming that the university could rewrite its code of conduct to modify and circumscribe the tenure protections built into the school’s Enterprise Agreement (a sort of charter for the school) and that as defined by the code of conduct, Ridd’s comments about the university’s lack of quality control were personal opinions that were outside the sorts of statements that tenure was supposed to protect.
Dr Ridd has decided to take his case to the Australian equivalent of the Supreme Court. He has reopened his gofundme page to cover his expenses. I’ve kicked in another $100; it’s in addition to the $200 I had kicked in to help fund his lawsuit and defense at the appelate lever.
I ask you all to kick in some money. It’s not just saving the retirement of one deserving man. If the ngo/governmental/academic complex is able to destroy the wall of academic freedom in Australia, a major impediment to the silencing of speakers-of-truth-to-power in a major western nation will have been smashed flat.
Take your meds.
Waters said, “First of all for the attorney general of the United States not to say that this president is going to abide by the Constitution of the United States of America if he is not reelected, he will leave office, he will concede rapidly. The transfer power is not a confrontational thing in the United States. For the president not to be able to answer that question or for Barr not to be able to answer that, it really does make you suspect about what they are planning.”
She continued, “There are many folks who have said, and I have repeated that what going on in Portland, Oregon is practice for what could happen when the president —if he decides he is not going to step down that he is going to stay in the White House. All of this is unfortunate. Nothing that we ever expected to happen in this country. This president is a wanna-be dictator acting like a dictator. This use of the military where he is bringing out unarmed—not unarmed but unidentified persons who are dressed in certain camouflaged clothing that you can’t tell where they are coming from. They don’t have any badges. They have unmarked cars. That is dangerous and scary. The people of America had better be concerned.”
Chances Rep. Waters voted for most of the bills that enabled whatever the government is doing right now: >99%.
Hmm, maybe not. Her voting record is more mixed.
First of all for the attorney general of the United States not to say that this president is going to abide by the Constitution of the United States of America if he is not reelected, he will leave office, he will concede rapidly
What question was he asked, and what was his answer?
Or does she just expect him to randomly blurt out that Trump will leave office if he loses the election?
“The transfer power is not a confrontational thing in the United States.”
Says the person from the team that has been trying to undo an election for 3 and 1/2 years.
I guess taking all the W keys off the keyboard was more passive aggressive than confrontational.
Brewery number two in Cleveland to temporarily close. This one I expect will be able to survive through distribution.
I will hopefully be stopping at three new (to me) breweries this weekend.
I got a letter today from the VA, to make an appointment if I feel like the virus got me. If the virus got me it came from the cabbage patch, ’cause that’s about as far as I’ve been.
It’s a trap!
Make an appointment with the VA. Okay so they will be able to make an appointment with your PACT Team in 2-3 weeks, if symptoms persist please go to the ED?

About those “unmarked” vehicles being used by the Portland death squads: didn’t somebody post a video link here of what appeared to be dozens of burned out or otherwise heavily damaged cop cars from someplace? Maybe those guys just don’t want to get tipped over or firebombed on their way to work.

“Masks Aren’t Enough: Dr. Fauci Says People Should “Probably Use Eye Shields” To Protect Against COVID-19″
Fuck that leprechaun fucking douche.
Better get you some shades so you can hide the contempt in your eyes and, yeah, fuck that shrimp. He didn’t seem to concerned about that shit when he was hanging out at the ballpark where other people weren’t allowed to be.
Can’t imagine why the American public thinks this thing has killed 9% of the population already.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
And SiL went to the doc with contractions and almost immediately gave birth! No way she was there longer than 3 hours. Her last delivery was 36 hours. Yikes! Glad it went so smoothly and she and the baby are doing fantastic!
I am now the uncle to three BOYS. (We know they wanted a girl but we never actively talked about it…but it was known.)
I am still committed to never having children. That would be way too much for me, but great for them!
Congrats on being an uncle. Feel free to tell your brother at this point on average, he’s just going to have boys. I’ve given a friend of mine shit since he’s got three daughters and wants a son.
It seems to be a family thing…or just interesting odds. My parents have me and my older brother, and my bro has three boys of his own.
That seems to be genetic or simply an interesting mix of odds. If a boy and a girl are truly 50/50, that should be around a 3.15% or so chance. I am sure there are indeed genetics and I just did a simple in-head probability countdown, but that’s roughly where I’m at.
Interesting.
If a boy and a girl are truly 50/50
Technically, the odds are actually 51/49 in favor of boys, so your brother just happened to roll with the odds three times in a row.
Kids will be born, so will Grandkids, all the fun, none of the responsibility!
Cheers!
No way she was there longer than 3 hours. Her last delivery was 36 hours.
Well, let’s just say the path had been cleared for the second one.
The second was a lot easier, but both the first two were C-sections. This one just flew out. We’re all pretty surprised and I’m glad it was easy for her.
A VBAC delivery? I’m glad it went so well. Those can go sideways if the scars don’t hold up under the pressure.
As someone worked as an EMT, I can tell you that’s how it usually goes. If a woman has had several kids, you can just hold up a catcher’s mitt.
They spit ’em out like a Pez dispenser.
My mom was eighth of eleven. We joke that grandma probably didn’t even stop to have the last few – they just fell out, she threw the baby in a sling, and kept walking.
Congrats Uncle!!
I hear tell that birthin babies is quicker after the first one
You’ve triggered Mojeaux again….
Congrats!
Mazel tov! Being an uncle is cool. I tell the same stories to my nephews and my sons. The nephews love them, my kids just roll their eyes.
Congratulations!
w00t!! Yay Unca Evan! THREE boys, eh? You know the drill: wind ’em up & send ’em back home!

You can’t be too careful out there.
Which is completely backwards. Not wearing a mask doesn’t improve my hearing. Other people wearing masks absolutely makes them harder to understand.
MY brother says he never realized how much lip reading he does until people started wearing masks.
Of course, he’s got a full blown case of TDS and thinks I’m crazy for objecting to the mandatory mask nonsense.
MY brother says he never realized how much lip reading he does until people started wearing masks.
I have depended on lip reading to clarify what my ears are picking up for more than a decade.
Masks are a disaster.
I’m sorry, I didn’t hear that, could you please repeat what you said?
Asking the indignant teenager mumbling wearing a mask behind the counter at McDonald’s is an exercise in futility.
I was trying for a joke 🙂
I still forget to turn toward people when I talk with the mask on. I’m not the best at eye contact and looking directly at people when I talk with them, the mask makes it much worse. I’m am probably one of the mumblers.
I got the joke.
I was just whining about having to ask the same fucking question so many times.
It gets to the point where you want to tell the dude in the mask to just spit out the marbles.
Masks also tend to lead dry mouth. It’s like talking with a mouth full of cotton.

Machines take our orders at my nearest McD’s. They mysteriously appeared right around the time minimum wage skyrocketed.
so McChines take your order?

Same with the McD’s where I’ve lived. And yet minimum-wage fanatics never seem to make the connection.
I’ve been Violated! I’m hearing impaired! the ADA will be speaking to you…….
My dad is very hard of hearing and this mask thing is a disaster for him when he goes to the doctor. Without the mask he can pick up most of what the doctor is saying. With the mask, forget about it. Luckily I’m with him to translate.
Will Trump leave, or won’t he? How many times has he refused to surrender possession of a property which has transferred out of his ownership for any reason?
He has walked away from two wives.
Walked away? I’m sure they are well compensated, and don’t have to listen to him anymore…..

Trump’s Troop Tantrum
There’s no strategy behind the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Germany. It’s about the president’s anger and ego.
They just reflexively oppose whatever he does at this point. There’s no reason to keep our troop level in Germany, especially when they’re welching on their end of the bargain and I don’t think the Russians are going to be driving their T-90s through the Fulda Gap anytime soon.
Oh, what we were doing up until this point was strategy? Could have fooled me.
The quality of journalism is so low. Trump has repeatedly stated his foreign policy in Europe: That the other members of NATO, who combined have plenty of money and population to spend on defense, should spend more on defense, shoulder their own burden.
That’s not a difficult position to understand. But it is a difficult one to argue against, so just deny he made it and insist hes lashing out of anger.
That happened more than 2 days ago, and so has been forgotten. Unless it’s useful for doxxing a wrongthinker, anyway.
I have a few liberal friends, and they see this. In other areas (ROOOOSHANS!!!) they’ve totally succumbed to TDS. But on this subject, they see right through the media lies. Its so strange.
Federal agents in Portland = bad
U.S. troops in Germany = good
The Federal Protective Service is Trump’s personal army, despite being full of civil servants, meanwhile the actual Army, to whom the President is Commander-in-Chief, answers only to… Congress, I guess?
We’re fighting them over there so we don’t fight them here. Or something like that.
We’re not protecting them from the Russians. We’re saving them from this.
Germany has been complaining about American troops for decades and all of a sudden we’re supposed to believe they want us there. ?
I think its sort of like their take on American tourists. They hate every minute we’re there, but they love our disposable income.
NYC has the same position on American tourists.
Germany made itself vulnerable to Russia through their own stupid energy policies, and no amount of US troops changes that calculation.
Also, last I checked Poland was in between, so maybe they’re the ones who should have the 20K troops if you’re so freaking scared of Russia.
I think they are getting some. Sounds like 2 brigades are getting pulled and one will be doing “exercises in the Baltics”.
I have heard that the long term strategy is to move more troops to Poland from Germany, since Poland is both cheaper and friendlier and it serves the same purpose as having them in Germany (now that the Germans are thoroughly neutered and no longer pose a potential threat on their own).

I am being recruited by a direct competitor for the exact job I did for my present company 2 years ago. It would allow me to work from home, but I will need to travel 30% of the time.
I have become frustrated by my current company’s wokeness, lack of agility, and lack of career growth.
The problem I see is that this company’s margins are half to a 1/3 of my present company. This makes me nervous that the new opportunity could crash if the company can’t grow or improve margins.
I’m considering an interview.
Interviewing never hurts
(unless you’re shit at interviews, I guess)
I’m pretty good at interviews.
I’m concerned because I’m actively making strategies against this company and they are loosing market share. They also have a very old technology that I could help them with, but it would be a tightrope with IP.
I would suss out if they know that and either are enticing you to mess with their competitor/competitor’s strategy or expect you bring over and use your knowledge of your current employer’s strategy and/or confidential information.
“I’m pretty good at interviews.”
Same, here, but in case someone isn’t, just include a few words like ‘diversity’ and ‘systemic racism’ and you’re in, won’t matter what else you say.
Unless you’re interviewing with MANAGER SMITH.
Sounds like you could help them, but demand some sort of golden parachute if the company goes down in flames.
Good point. Thank you both for your advice.
Sounds like your current company doesn’t have that great a future , either.
I say give the interview a shot.
Good luck!

Doesn’t the Senate have it’s own barbershop?
It’s a wig. She likes attention.
The excuse they are making is that she can’t get her hair done.
The salons are open. I suppose her argument is she doesn’t want to risk her or her hairdresser’s life. Of course they’ve been open for months and I’m guessing they’ve traced zero deaths back to hair salons but whatevs…
Why make an excuse? She wore a wig because she wanted to. Not the first time her hair has been a crazy color.
This is what passes for political reporting in her state these days.

That’s where he went wrong. They play for keeps and want you dead.
Beware women with an axe to grind. They always enlist others to do what they wouldn’t dare do themselves. And they think it absolves them of responsibility.
Sadly, those kind of women learn their stuff when they’re just teenagers, egging on the boys to get into fights and running away when there’s any chance that anything bad could happen to them. I’ve seen it far too many times in my life.
Yup
“They always enlist others to do what they wouldn’t dare do themselves. And they think it absolves them of responsibility.”
