I have been rewiring a historic house as part of a major restoration (I have an electrical background and know NEC like the back of my hand, don’t @ me) and I would 100% rewire all my neighbors’ houses for free if I didn’t need my day job at the cubicle farm for healthcare and not starving to death

Because this isn’t about parenting or children, it’s about a creeping surveillance state

Backlash is so much better than frontlash

Québec is awesome and I’m glad the québécois stuck up for their culture so hardcore otherwise the English would have turned it into Canada’s Louisiana, a pale shadow of the French culture that once was

The military is 95% Trump supporters

Please. The “revolt” is just some angry tweets as usual. Nothing will matter. Website needs clicks. Democrats will whiff. Sun rises. Etc

There are Spanish words for most words

I make demands in the primaries. I do harm reduction in the generals

This obviously has something to do with how long an active wormhole in a Stargate can be maintained

It’s also the first time I remember seeing a Klingon medical researcher but I don’t see anyone getting bent out of shape about his unusual, you might say progressive, career path for some reason

there is no legal way to take that away from you

Hate to burst your bubble here, but there are two major ways to take people’s paid-off homes that I can think of just off the top of my head.

1. Unpaid property taxes can force a foreclosure

2. In all US states except Florida your home can be forced to be sold in order to satisfy a debt (like medical debt for example)

There are other ways you can lose your paid-off home as well:

1. It is destroyed in a natural disaster in a place where it is difficult or impossible to get insurnace (Florida/California etc) and you can’t afford to rebuild

2. You need expensive end-of-life care and you have to sell your home to pay for that

I’m sure there are a few others

Wait, ChromeOS was explicitly created to support the institution of chattel slavery? Who knew?!

Warré hives are specifically designed to be built with simple tools. I believe a saw and a drill/screwdriver is all you need. Cuts don’t need to be perfectly straight and there is no fine woodworking like you need for Langstroth hives with frames.

I live in the stereotypical part of the US which is all soulless suburbs and people taking kids to school in SUVs. Most people don’t think about food unless they buy it at the grocery and I am a bit of a black sheep where I live for even having a garden

Mushroom hunting; most people think the only mushrooms you find in the woods are magic or poisonous

If you build Warré hives and/or trap your own bees it can be very cheap. Trapping takes patience though and is easier in certain climates.

Elizabeth Warren always gave me the vibe like she’s scolding someone else’s kids who know that she can’t actually do anything to them

She was also complicit in what the DNC did to Bernie so eh

They do like in that Starfleet Academy episode where they fake a war to satisfy everyone’s honor and just pretend everything is OK
