“Longbottom leaf, the finest fucking pipe weed in the South Farthing”
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

Heat pump geeks and do-it-yourself enthusiasts will love this. A mini-split heat pump that both heats and cools, with a solo DIY install that can be undone and taken with you when you move - including the refrigerant lines (with no leaks). And under $2.5k all in (right @profitgreenly.bsky.social?)!
Christmas came early for me, with delivery of my new @airspool.bsky.social heat pump. The driving force behind me getting this thing was that it promised to be easy to install, and boy was it ever! Read on to see how I got it on the night it was delivered without drilling a big hole through my wall.

DYK: Most Indiana wind turbines are located north and west of Lafayette (Purdue University). There are about 1,258 turbines across some 18 projects.
Many built around 2009-2011 and weighed in around 1.5 - 2.0 MW in peak power. 1.0 MW = 1,000 microwaves running, or 33,000 laptops...

Also, when your political strength is built on the idea that no one is allowed to say no to you, being successfully told "no" is potentially very, very bad
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

And at 0:50, POTUS directly mocking someone for insisting on their Constitutional rights.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."
The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Great solar deals today. ~$1,000 will get you enough solar panels to fuel your car. YMMV.
