I thought CA got rid of Jay walking bullshit in 2023.

I’ve been trying to fill in the data around me. It’s not there yet. But I’m trying.

And I’m not in some backwater area. I’m just outside Chicago and when I go into the city I’m still filling things out.

“maga are complaining DOGE engineered got fixed.”

Jesus fucking Christ, it’s the federal government. The public sector. We are fucking ENTITLED to know who runs our government.

Sure, but we can’t ever stop talking about it either. We need more, too. But we need to keep making people aware. Keep it in the news, keep it in public discourse.

Should add the poor man’s James bond. The anarchist cookbook. The army survival manual. There is an old army improvised munitions manual.

There are lots of fun reads that should probably be held onto.

I didn’t know they did this. Where can I learn more?

What the fuck, Bahamas? Life imprisonment?

Will already told you that wasn’t something he was interested in. Janet showed mild interest. She’d be up for it. But it wasn’t something that’s a priority for her.

So when you sent over the events and she talked to her husband about it. He could have easily expressed that he wasn’t comfortable with his wife walking around naked or having her walk around with other naked people. She doesn’t care about doing it enough that it’s worth making her husband uncomfortable.

It’s not about him telling her she can’t. It’s about each of them respecting each other enough not to do things that make each other uncomfortable. They are mature enough to have a conversation about things, express their emotions to each other, and value each other’s feelings.

Saw a guy bragging on YouTube and didn’t even stop to consider that the dude was just full of bullshit?

God damn, we’ve lost all ability to think critically.

They already do. CARB. California Air Resource Board.

A lot of auto makers already use carb standards because it’s such a huge state. It has its own issues like certain aftermarket parts need to be CARB approved such as intakes for whatever reason.

He is saying being fluent and able to understand it too. So never stops means he can’t ever forget a language, as I’m interpreting it.

How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?

Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.

Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.

I think defining luck could be weird. Is it lucky to not die when I want to? Or lucky to do so in a more humane, less painful or instantaneous way?

I have lots of ad blockers. But my father watches YouTube on the LG TV app. I don’t live there anymore and hearing the ads from the other room became offensive to the family.

It was easier to just buy a premium family plan and call it a day.

I gave that hope up years ago.

He backed himself into a corner and doesn’t want to admit that he can’t fit it all into a final book and/or just doesn’t enjoy writing that world or story anymore.

It would be nice if he released an outline or draft. He probably could have milked that since I know I’d have bought both a draft and the final book whenever he finished it.

I mean… If I could afford a riding lawnmower that would be me. I want to at some point find a broken washer to rip the drum out of. They make good fire pits for really big fires.

Be kind and use people’s names. Also, just asking for stuff.

You’d be amazed how far it will take you just to ask for something, using a person’s name, and being kind about it. Demand something and people will be reluctant to give you a thing.

Yea. It’s simple when you change the question from “do you want to buy X?” To making the assumption that they already will buy it and now the only question is “what color will you be buying?”

That’s if the label generation is automated. Small shops will still have that be a manual process when they pack and weigh it for the label.

Tracking numbers don’t get created until a shipping label is printed. Maybe give it a little bit.
