Whiskey, the social laxative hero we all wanted, but didn’t know we needed.

This stacked right by the house? I’ve been told that’s a good way for termites to find a good snack but then stay for the full course meal. Best to put that out in a shed or tarped over far away from the house.

There was this one time a few years back that I had to go to the dump to dispose of some various large material. Our dump is more of a transfer station with a big warehouse where everything is disposed of, compacted by giant bulldozers and then loaded onto other trucks to take to a nearby landfill in a separate county.

This particular visit it had been rainy for a few days, and I guess I must’ve gotten there right after the transfer trucks picked up all the refuse. Except for the floor, it was covered in a slippery stink-filled film. I carefully threw my truckload in, making sure that I didn’t fall, though I did slip a bit. It took some time to do so, so I came up with this little ditty. “Trash juice, trash juice, oh bring back my trash juice to me, to me!”

I did my work, shuffled my shoes and got into the car. Next stop was the grocery store. I’m fumbling around in the cheese aisle, and I guess I was still singing my song at a quiet mumble. Well, this old blue haired lady must’ve heard me. She turned around and recoiled “what are you singing!” In that way where it seemed like her whole life was built around cleanliness and my recitation was an affront to everything that she stood for.

Well, I got a good laugh out of that reaction, still do. Moral of the story is that singing to yourself does not necessarily negate other people thinking you’re a crazy person.

So don’t trust an LLM to give you medical advise at home instead of going to a doctor with expertise in the field?

I got onto design there for a while. Sketchup Make is still free out there if you can find it. Blender is also an option.

Learning is another option. Khan Academy, MIT Open Courseware.

Brewing, taking care of plants, terrariums, puzzles, bonsai, yoga. All good stuff.

Which chamber you plan on running in? House or senate?

Read a little more than just looking at a picture. Passthroughs are not corporations…which is what we were talking about.

And just in case you are going to try to attempt a “gotcha” at me about s-corps, 75% of corporations are c-corps…by far the one most people are familiar with (and angry about).

He missed a few more as well.

• don’t command people what to do, instead ask them politely
• don’t yuck other people’s yum

It’s all projection. When you know you’re capable of doing it, you think everyone else would be too.

It’s not the Severus Snape we wanted, but it is the one we all…ah hell I can’t go through with it. This guy is Bellatrix incarnate.

I mean, a guy sneaking into your house at night and leaving you “presents” under a tree you’ve cut down and brought into your house for no other reason has to be up there too, right?

And don’t get me started on how fucked up Thanksgiving is.

Y’all know earnings on corporations are taxed twice, right? Sole proprietorships - taxed once, partnerships - taxed once.

I mean, I’m all for it, fuck corps, they are a funnel for profits at the expense of everything else in society, but let’s put the hate where deserved, like the fact that the government treats them as a fucking (morally bankrupt) limited liability person, rather than just pointing out some voodoo economics financial accounting trick that probably won’t ever change so long as the rules allow them to exist.

We are broken because society is broken.

1000s of years from now, whatever proceeds us will be judging us for our microplastics use, just as we judge the Romans for their lead use.

Looks to be one of those plague doctors sniffing a foot.

I recommend running those dishes a second cycle, too specious.

And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say, his small heart grew three sizes that day.

Also, why does this article mention 2019?

Came here to say this. I attend 1-2 times a month and mine has so far taught me about breathing exercises for meditation and the shadow self from Jung. Just a group of great people also searching for community.

Someone produced a puff piece about the line and how it’s transformed Saudi Arabia. It’s biased (so keep that in mind) but it’s also well produced and answers some questions retroactively on why the Line was so important to SA even if it failed to become reality. It’s worth a watch:

I came in to comment Bosch as well, but it seems they’re already well represented here. That said >$1000 was a steep friggin price for a dishwasher, not sure I’d do it again.

Dude’s moral compass is the NYSE.
