Actually, I think it’s 83 counts of attempted murder.
My guess is his lawyer will go for a psych or drug defense…

WA_GUNS subreddit - what a shitshow.
The mods: We don't want politics involved.
People posting: I buy guns to shoot nazis.
Dramatic oversimplification but, holy shit.

I saw a vid that got me kinda thinking..... it was talking about 'fossil fuels'.....
Okay - we've all been taught that fossil fuels come from once living plants/animals..... right? They all died - somehow got consolidated in one area - buried DEEP - and with heat transformed into oil over millions of years ---- the 'general theory' on how oil reserves was formed.
Okay --- seems rational and plausible for 'shallow' reserves.... but what about the 'super deep' reserves??? You know - 2 miles BELOW the Gulf of Mexico among others.... were they really formed by animal/plant matter that got buried 3 miles below sea level? Yeah - tectonic plates shifting - volcanism - mass floods ----- 'could' explain how those deep pools of oil formed, but what if there was a different way that formed the oil? The vid I was watching theorized that those oil reserves were formed by methane and co2 released from magma and trapped by geological structures under pressure and heat over the millenniums --- a 'wet gas building' of oil molecules rather than a 'breakdown of organics'. Maybe we've been wrong about the true way that the crude oil deposits were formed.....
I'm no expert on geology or oil or anything, but it got me thinking about it more and more about it..... Have we allowed 150 years of previous understandings and limited/incorrect knowledge fool us into thinking that 'all crude oil came from plants and animals' ???

Volatile organic compounds (easily converted into hydrocarbons and oils) are found on Jupiter, Saturn and Titan. Likely not derived from living organisms.

The Fentanyl "crisis" will ultimately be connected to a Iran-Contra type CIA black-op.

Anyone have 'Mt. Baker erupting' on their bingo cards?
Just had a weird ass dream where I was on the phone ordering something and the whole sky exploded with streams of rocks and debris. I was supposedly 'in Seattle' and after surviving the initial blast I realized it seemed to be north, and I needed to head south.
Damn weird dreams. I don't normally dream of disasters or major events so this is weird for me.

I was thinking about puddle pirates and how they deserve a ton of credit for saving lives.
I just realized a brand new pilot and crew that served to help evacuate/rescue people in N.O. after Katrina, is now eligible for retirement.
Feel old yet?
