that idea has already been had, so it might as well happen.

Well, I don't mind making jokes because it's basically "just" a giant taser hooked up to a massive pulsed power source. it shoots a wire at something, which then makes contact with ground and it dumps all the stored power through that wire, turning it to plasma and making lightning.

that tower isn't just to raise the turret up- that is the cap bank. Getting that thing anywhere near Trump would be a shocking display of incompetence. or complicity.

also, I don't have the resources or expertise to build it. lols.

You know... with how incompetent the secret service has been lately.... they'd probably miss this thing:

And, getting hit by lightning is an act of god right, right?

How could you not be welcoming to that cute sweetums?

please give her the good scritches for me. you know the ones she likes.

For things that are thick, what i found works best is to put the salt (and whatever,) on and let it sit overnight in the fridge.

Bring it out an hour or so before it goes in the oven and add the short marinade if you’re using one. (That looks good enough to not need one though!)

What temperature did you use for the reverse sear?

In any case, it looks fine. How’s the taste? That’s what’s important.

They knew what they were doing.

So, like. The brainworm died….

From starvation and food poisoning.

This guy shouldn’t be trusted to flip burgers. I’ve no intention of taking medical advice.

Edit: and it appears you’ve just gone back and downvoted me. Well done. You’ve really showed me who was right here.

Lol. Because you're wrong and being insufferable about it.

It’s not my job to force you agree with very minor misuses of esoteric bits of language that I happen to know a fair bit about and can (and have) backed up.

You haven't backed up anything.

Nark is recognized as correct spelling. Dictionaries don't include misspellings in entries. You don't also see 'narck' or 'knarc' or 'knark' or any other potential misspelling. Even in MW, it is describes as "a less common variant".

'Nark' is a correctly spelled word. it's also within proper grammar as I used it.

What I suspect you are trying- and not saying- is that 'nark' is not preferred by whatever manual of style you happen to subscribe to. Which is totally, and utterly irrelevant. We are not in a formal venue. We are in a causal venue, and you don't get to dictate how I express myself. this is not a scientific journal, nor a newspaper. none of the style guides you might care to mention apply. Not the Chicago Manual of Style, nor any other university's or college's. Not the AP manual of style, or any other in-house manual of style a paper might use. Neither the AMA guide nor the APA guide, nor the Redbook.

That is what merriam-Webster’s does, they keep up with language as it evolves.

Read that again.

But to be clear, Nark is not the canon spelling for this. Narc is. Nark is a misspelling that became colloquially accepted. That does not make it the correct spelling 🙂

There are many hundreds of regional variations on how we use language, and if you want to go broad enough, spell words. (Center, Centre. Color, Colour. Defense, Defence.) If one were to somehow manage to catalogue everything in such fine detail, one's use of language would likely be able to be traced down to what highschool clique one belonged. Or cliques. For those of us that have moved to places that have moved... it might even be able to show that transition and place it in a time frame.

Further, it's slang. There is always some variation on slang; and correcting someone's spelling over informal... is asinine. you might have a point, if I were writing for a doctoral thesis where anything but formal, technical language is to be abhorred. But if this were a doctoral thesis, it would be just as innapropriate to use narc- because it is slang.

Next you're going to be explaining how it's "y'all" and not "ya'll" or " 'yall" or "yall" or even "youse all"

now go back to that first bit I quote and explain to me how language can possibly have a canon, particularly in informal, casual usage.

Goddam autocorrect.

Can’t. The federation doesn’t use currency.

forced to clean out the homosexual filters.

Edit: just to clarify (I think everyone probably realizes it) but I meant holofilters. I missed fixing autoincorrect’s change. I’m leaving it so people know what the heck op is laughing at

Not to mention… he is ignoring court orders.

Including a 9/9 Scrotus order to bring Abrego Garcia home

“We have investigated ourselves-“

“You’re fired.”

Uhm.

So, while it is related to narcotics officers, it’s nark

If you’re narking on people who are saying the intelligence doesn’t support those claims, as being “disloyal”, you’re not being a whistleblower.

You’re being a Nazis prick fucking over someone just doing their job to get ahead of the curve.

OP, if you're not in a country with 9 digit phone numbers, then it's almost certainly a spoofed typo in the CID field. (which can be easily spoofed just by settings on phones or whatever system is being used.)

If you're in a country with a 9 digit... well. it's probably still spoofed.

Definitely. That's duck math.

and now, I'm imagining Bitty throwing toys out at the guest every time they try to make peace overtures. She doesn't speak in a bad french accent by any chance?
