It worked, he got over 100k worth:

Damn, I saw some guy on YouTube last year going through the parachutes harnesses in a barn of a deceased suspect (with permission) and he found the chute while talking to the camera. Was just turning over over on vest at a time in a box and stopped and said “this is it, we found it.”

I think the tape said they turned it over to the FBI? Anyone with more info?

Found the clip:

Got something against English people? Dude was born in the UK and is an Oxford dropout.

Never forget the iPod sock, released November 2004.

The very rare -solicited- dick pic. Dude should be flattered.

Oh, that halcyon era between The Witcher seasons 1 and 2 when you could just enjoy it fully and have expect the writers knew what they were doing.

Could it be that these guys are going to “Where are we going, Papa EA?” them in a few years?

(Can’t find a link to the referenced comic on my phone but basically EA is known for buying up smaller studios and then closing them only a few years later after sucking them dry. This led to a comic of them taking little unsuspecting companies into the dark woods to end them.)

I had to go check this was real. Containment breached folks.

It’s authored by the guy who coined the term originally; so however he’s using it, that’s the way it’s used.

I asked my family what the last useful thing Congress accomplished that made life better for Americans.

The only 2 answers were the 2010 Affordable Care Act and the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act.

Two actions in 40+ years.

I have a growing personal hatred of people in white pearl-coat cars right now. They are the new BMWs for me.

Interesting! Thanks. That has some more nuance than I was expecting.

PA state government is rife with corruption of every level and so we as residents tend to leap to conclusions that every state official, especially the elected ones, are always committing some kind of crime and it’s just the unlucky ones who get caught and tried. The State Treasurer in particular has a recent bad history.

Source? He was a State Treasurer involved in a complicated bribery and contracting scandal. It’s not a he-said-she-said sort of case. His accuser was a deputy comptroller for Pittsburgh Public Schools who noted contracts were wildly overvalued for the work and called the State Auditor General who called the FBI to investigate the matter. Who are you suggesting was lying?

Damn, I’m old enough to remember this post the first time it happened on Reddit. I laughed about this poor fool all day. Good times.

Can we call it the Tri-State so every “Tri-State area” has no hope?

On purpose or by accident?

What proof do you have that your waste is being processed correctly? I have proof mine is not and plenty of news reporting from across the US in the last 5 years that says consumer curbside recycling is basically dead.

I’m just speaking as someone who does carefully separate everything, only to watch the truck put it all the same place. My individual actions mean fuck all if the rest of the process doesn’t work.

It’s hard to blame them entirely when the facilities to separate and recycle the waste were never fully built in the US and we spent decades shipping bales of consumer recycling to Asia where it was often deemed too dirty to use for recycling and was burned instead. You can find tons of great articles about the collapses of consumer recycling and the unraveling of the plastic recycling lies sold to the American public, it came about 2021 and continued to be a hot topic through 2023. Today, my shitty neighborhood has collectively stepped down from a proper waste pickup with bins, to 4 guys and a truck who collect and take the waste to a nearby incinerator. We know it can’t be an “official” waste collection company by the “We Love Junk” signs on the truck enjoying our cans, but we’ve been told this is fancy hand collection that is quieter than standard trash trucks and we should be grateful.
