I’ve lived in Albany for 27 years. No one here uses the term, “steamed hams,” here. It’s a Simpsons joke, not a local term for hamburgers.

Why don’t you try doing research instead of posting random questions and an image in a news aggregator?

Albany, NY. This was 25 years ago.

25 years ago. Not sure if the shop called 911 or the local PD.

I recently had a bike stolen from where I work. I happen to work for the state government so the theft was caught on multiple cameras. State police found the guy 2 weeks later after issuing a BOLO, arrested him, and since he was already out on parole due to a previous record, the thief went straight to prison. This last incident was 2 years ago.

ACAB, but despite that some actually enjoy solving crimes.

Something similar happened to me. When my bike was stolen, I notified all of my local bike shops with pics of my bike, and a detailed description about where damage to the frame was, and the numbers stamped on the bottom of the frame. Also filed a police report. I was devastated because this was a bike I built, and therefore custom. (I bought the frame, fork, derailers, chain, rims, tires, handlebar ect as separate components and put it together myself.)

The thief brought the bike into one of the local shops because he couldn’t figure out how to inflate the tires through the presta valves. The bike shop recognized it, told him to wait while they took care of things, called the police and stalled long enough for the police to show up and arrest the guy.

I eventually got my bike back after it was done being evidence. Fuck bike thieves.

The American dollar is about to be bitch slapped. Other countries are dumping US bonds, which will drive down their value when the market is flooded. Lots of trading for oil is done with US currency. This increases the demand for US currency and inflates it. Other countries are getting tired of America’s bullshit and switching to the petroyuan, which is form of the official Chinese currency, the yuan intended at least initially for oil trading. One of the reasons the petroyuan was created was that Russia, Venezuela and Iran may be able to avoid the United States’ sanctions, so nations such as Saudi Arabia, one of the main oil producers and extractors could avoid dollar hegemony and U.S. pressure. If enough countries switch to the petroyuan it will fuck the economy and the US dollar the way trump rapes little girls.

Sam is a ring bearer. He briefly took it over when he thought Frodo was dead during the whole shelob affair. Unlike just about everyone else, he’s the only character I know of that willingly gave it up. Fuck, even Gandalf didn’t want to bear the ring because he knew it would corrupt him and he’d refuse to let go of that power.
