    A life well lived. Like him or not he was there to do his best for what he believed in and he did just that. God bless him.

    @mark From what I understood on the Hazardous History episode it did contain a radioactive element. Wikipedia appears to confirm it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_U-238_Atomic_Energy_Laboratory

    I also found out there is The Punk Rock Museum here. That has to be the least punk thing ever.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Hay LD: This year will be a bit more of a pain in the ass. Karla is not turning down work, but she’s not hiring on enough workers as she’ls too scared of not having enough work for them next month… So when all the requests come in, she takes them herself including overnights. She’s been in the house 2 hours the past 3 days. To make matters worse, she had another overnight request come in for 23-27 so Lucas is taking that one. Tonight, it’s me and Finley from 9 till tomorrow at 7. I can tell you that I am pretty pissed… More than being spatially together, you all work hard for the good of the family; that spiritual unity is (at least in my mind) more valuable and more enduring. Merry Christmas!

    I've only watched the first episode, but it was brilliant, and very fresh take on post-apocalyptic SCIFI.

    Good news of course, but it's pretty freakin' sad that this is even an issue.

    Yep. It's a little tedious to complain about it for so many years, I mean I don't want TNCR to be to that sort of discrimination what it is to Donald Trump. That would make it nearly unreadable, as I'm sure we can all imagine. If I had been personally touched by that sort of discrimination, you can be sure I'd have been talking about it a lot more. But I haven't been, even as a person with a brain stem and thus aware that the discrimination exists. One twist to the original Jacob Savage piece, which I haven't read, is that it's in a left-wing publication, and it ends with the author regretting not simply accepting his fate and finding a more boring job that is less discriminated against for people who look like him. I heard it called a "permission piece", where a left-leaning outlet admits something difficult for them to admit, but in a way that it's still ok.

    You can imagine instructing your car to go charge itself and come back while you’re in a store or something.

    The good news about erectile dysfunction is it can be cured with a good diet and exercise. The hard part is getting your wife to actually do it.

    There used to be a conservative commentator (forgot which) who would make points about social programs failing by showing how their desired effects either didn’t show up in the data or worse, the opposite effect was shown in the data. He would put a graph of poverty rates in his article, for example, and ask ‘can you tell when the war on poverty started? Well…. https://x.com/joni_askola/status/2003152698078822670?s=46

    I just a pill where you can eat anything and your body only absorbs the nutrients you need and discards the rest! But I suppose a hunger repressing pill is 2nd best.

    The self proclaimed Emporer, Donaldoofus Trumpsterus is at it again…. Envoys are informal appointments and unlike official diplomats, do not have to be approved by the host country. What this appointment shows is that Trump's ambition to control Greenland remains undimmed. As with his military and rhetorical aggression towards Venezuela, it indicates Trump is determined to gain greater control over what his recent National Security Strategy called "the Western hemisphere", a sphere of influence that he hopes will cover the whole of the Americas. Trump tried to buy Greenland during his first presidential term. Both Denmark and the Greenlandic government rejected the 2019 proposal, saying: "Greenland is not for sale." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgmd132ge4o
