Fuck that noise. I’m going down swinging at the fascist fucks to protect not only myself, but also the idiots who voted for them.
They may have elected monsters, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need protection from those same monsters.

Put hundreds of them in a pretty boxes, form an LLC, get a few VCs to sign on, flip the switch, then charge a monthly fee to “open previously-inacessible service areas to cellular customers” and you’ll have a successful startup!

Is the poop something that has to be done in-person?
Does it have to be assigned to an individual, or can you decide that everybody who uses the word ‘rizz’ regularly will now poop?
Or is it like Death Note where you have to have a specific person in mind? I would totally be down to be the Kira of pants-shitting. I’d be the God of a stinky new world.
Problem is that in the US I’m fairly certain our leaders are already forced to wear diapers. The President who was elected 32 years ago is younger than the President who was elected 2 months ago.

Interestingly, the DOJ version also causes mass killings that made minimal firearm involvement to be on the list.
It’s why the 7th deadliest “school shooting” was in the mid-18th century, and only one person was actually shot, with the rest killed by melee weapons.

So there’s a comfort-food staple at my house that’s distressingly close to this, but sounds even worse.
It’s 1 can cream of mushroom, one can cream of chicken, one can of peas, and one can of tuna heated in a skillet. That unholy mixture is then stacked on tops of layers of toast, and seasoned with lemon pepper.
It looks like the kind of food that would attack Calvin in the old comics, but my family loves it. I’m not sure how good it actually is, or if it’s just the comfort food from when we were really poor and that was a feast for us.

Here’s the thing to remember about retail:
You can’t possibly remember the tens of thousands of customers you deal with, so the ones that stand out in your memory are the outliers. Which is why ulyou remember so many assholes. Most people are perfectly nice, but they’re so common they all kinda blend together.

H5N1 is way, way more lethal than Covid19.
If it were to mutate to spread between humans without decreasing in lethality it would probably be the deadliest event in human history by a significant margin.

It sure would be nice if one side of the political aisle hadn’t convinced its voters to disarm themselves while the other side stockpiled guns.
- Comment on flouride 2 months ago:
Its presence in groundwater is how we discovered it’s good for teeth.
In fact, there used to be so much in some areas,it actually stained the teeth. In Colorado Springs a dentist noticed that the children were developing brown stains on their teeth. In researching it, it was discovered that the “Colorado Brown Stain” was caused by excessive fluoride in the drinking water. But it also lead to the discovery that regions with natural fluoride present but in lower levels than Colorado Springs didn’t have stained teeth, but did have lower levels of tooth decay.

- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
Yes. They cost more than some cables. But we aren’t talking about wiring a stereo.
A new nuclear unit (4 billion-ish) costs about as much as 2,000 miles of transmission-grade cable (about 2 million per mile). Considering that there’s about 30 cables on a tower run, you’re looking at around 65 miles’ worth of cable for the cost of a nuclear unit.
And that’s just the cost of the wire. No towers, no conduit, no substations, no land acquisition (aerial easement and underground are very different things), no labor.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
You really don’t understand how expensive underground cables are. You know those big, huge steel transmission towers that you see lined up, hundreds in a row?
Those towers costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars each. And the reason they’re used is because that’s way cheaper than underground.
Shit - just the cable is a couple million per mile per cable.

They should harness the crazy for good. Make conspiracy theory-sounding stories, but make them factual and get people to take positive action.
“They created chemicals you can inject into the bloodstream that keeps them from getting the Measels.”
“The overlords in their golden towers want to tell you who you are and aren’t allowed to love.”

But it’s not.
Celsius and Faernheit are interval scales, not rational scales. The absolute change from one number to the next is consistent, but since you can go into the negatives, 1 is not double 2.
Kelvin and Rankine are rational because they use an absolute zero.
