Did you do it from a squeeze bottle/bag? You'll never go back to the cans, after that.

I can only assume "looking bad" means, "associating with someone not clearly aligned with the MAGA cult puts my life at risk".

The only comment on tone I can make is that your restraint is god-like. I'm so mad and frustrated at what is happening, and I'm thousands of miles away from Minnesota.

Yeah, I've bloviated on this issue at various points. I want the public NICS to have a small fee and EULA. Completely free services get abused.

The fascist boots are sparkling, haven found so many willing boot lickers.

They also say putting your hand on an agent *at all* is "laying hands" and a felony.

And getting between an agent and a victim of clearly excessive force is "obstructing justice".

Turtling up while being beaten? Resisting arrest.

Can we start by simply opening up the NICS to private parties?

Right now, private party sales have no way of doing background checks even if they wanted to.

Fuck ICE, fuck anyone who supports ICE, fuck Trump, and fuck anyone who supports Trump. Now and forever.

The first time I watched Buffy the Vampire slayer was on Netflix, in widescreen. There was a seen with a tentacle monster, where because it was widescreen, you could see the crew holding the fake tentacles.

Diamondback Rattlesnake
California Condor
Mountain Lion
Rhesus Macaque (though "wild" is debatable, as it was in a city)
Blue Heron

It's a big sign if immaturity when people don't differentiate between "I don't like it" and "it sucks".

And yes, SGU was awesome. I can understand why it might not be someone's cup of tea, especially coming from SG:Atlantis, but it was well produced, well-written, well-acted, and had a good plot.

Unfortunately, they'll just try to define trans people as "not people". Textbook fascism.

I pine for the days when "Baghdad Bob" was a joke we all laughed at, rather than a reality we suffered through.

Worse than useless. Literally. As in actually literally, not ironic literally.

Generative AI using LLMs is trained to produce things that *look* right. So even when they're wrong, they're wrong with confidence and a convincing demeanor.

I just have a limited mental capacity for reading about more MAGA bullshit. I'm sure that's part of the strategy.

I decided against the BBB a long time ago, so while I appreciate your view on it, I'm not in a rush to watch another video on it.

I saw "CAPTCHA Check" on the inline preview and got my hopes up that we had a Murderbot-themed CAPTCA.

"Prove you are a person: Sanctuary Moon or Star Trek?"

Those "lazy" freeloaders who walk thousands of miles through jungle, desert, and cartel-controlled territory for the faint hope of working a difficult job US citizens don't want to do for low pay.

In the case of dogs, I don't know if that's the traditional meaning of "pansexual" or if he literally humps pans.

You mean they didn't talk about it in a Signal group chat with unknown people in the group?

Having just finished this book, I can see why.

I'm not the only one that has to write things down to stop the idea hamster wheel in my head from iterating on them?

And you can't build a factory to build those in the USA, even if you wanted to, in under 15 years.

And certainly not with tariffs on materials and tooling you would need to build that factory.

You could tour all the old, closed Fry's Electronics buildings for tech nostalgia.

New LEO hack:

First, they deputize you. Then, they declare you a member of a violent gang.

Well? Did you like that book, though?

Sounds like a good suggestion. ;)

Because when you weave it underwater, it shrinks and becomes water-tight. Quite useful for, you know, hauling water.

I'm sure it was done elsewhere, but it was a staple of Native American crafts. Using "underwater basket weaving" as a slur for "shit that isn't useful" is ignorant.
