I mean, I think California just tried something. New York, D.C., New Jersey, Illinois/Chicago, and some other places too.

Jr. came from egg.

Most colleges are non-profits, which means they are supposed to be, ya know, not profit seekers. Harvard, like many others, is not a business.

Mmm, hours at the computer, creating all these demonic potions of alchemy +XXX.

I mean, just my personal opinion, but abstinence does need to be taught as a co-curriculum with a large portion of relationship education (particularly what a good relationship is/has, and what a bad relationship looks like and how to leave it), and stoicism and some other philosophies that demonstrate how forgoing pleasure (for some things, for periods of time) can lead to better outcomes. I don’t want my kid thinking they need to refrain from sex because it’s somehow immoral, but I also don’t want them to jump into every ‘relationship’ that comes their way in school and start having sex with someone who is just using them for their genitals.

I wish I knew more women and men who liked rock climbing. It’s so fucking flat here, and I can’t find anyone who wants to take vacations to go climb.

I’ve heard from several people who are in an older generation than I am about this, but it goes something like this: Date foreigners, and even better, if you can go to that country for a little while and find someone willing to be your wife there, marry them and bring them back.

It’s always been off-putting when someone can say things like that in an earnest manner.

And it was a hilarious one, with some funny subtext. The nature guy with a blowpipe shooting a redneck who was littering from a pickup truck? You can’t tell me that isn’t oddly reminiscent of some of today’s fuck cars stereotypes.

Hey, you can’t just point out my tiny ear canals like that! There are people that love how they feel!

I would hope every single high school graduate could remember the simple pictograph of how communication works:

• Person A has an idea -
• Person A encodes the idea and transmits it -
• Person B receives the transmission and decodes it -
• Person B has the idea-
• Reverse the process for feedback and confirmation of idea -

That encoding bit is pretty important…

But what’s wrong with crystal meth? It always helps me to focus when I’m trying to brush my teeth.

Well, it’s anecdotal, but when I was earning <$30k a year, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant if I couldn’t get a good meal for less than $10, pre tip. I think I went to Applebee’s once, when they had an unlimited wing deal for ~$13, and that was a way to eat for two days in one meal.

There are plenty of racists that are happy to let abortion be a thing. I’ve heard (and lost count of how many times) repeatedly about planned parenthood being started by a racist, etc. etc. The republicans aren’t a complete monomind, they just get along really well at the ‘we hate others’ party that their leaders throw.

As someone with wax issues in the ears, no, q-tips suck at cleaning ears. You’ll end up pushing the wax into your eardrum and causing the impacted wax that you were trying to avoid in the first place. That’s why I use those tiny screwdrivers. /shrug

30 days to change address if you move within the state, 90 if from outside. 521.054, 521.029

30 days for car registration - 502.040

Even better. It’s only when you’re rich that you actually pay less taxes in Texas. See how they’re anagrams?

I’d add simple soldering. It’s amazing how many little gadgets go bad because a little wire inside broke loose when it was dropped. I’ve fixed headphones, a temperature sensor, and even done things with the vehicles.

I love that website. The surgical knots were nice to have in place to reference.

I'd say, based on the political atmosphere and outlook of the next 7-8 years, that the next census is too far off to depend on. Imagine if it's unbearable enough to send a significant portion of people out of any swing states, and that could clinch 2028. I doubt the insanity will have lessened in time for project2029…

It's gotten to the point I don't even talk to people who bring up the topic. You can quote any number of statistics, but they've "dun seen that californian moving in up the road, so there's the proof right there!" I guess the fact that on a ~21 house road, we've got Carolingians, Alabamians, Tex(i)ans, Michiganders, and some Arkansaws folks means that people are fleeing blue states, sure, ayup.
