Don’t let this election, or any election, allow us to forget the time back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

The Republican party wouldn’t exist if everybody voted. That is a straight up fact. As fucked as our election system is, they are far enough the minority that if everyone got out, the EC wouldn’t matter.

You want a “left light” and a “true left”, you aren’t going to get it by abstaining, or by voting for nonviable moonshot third-party candidates. You are going to get it by abolishing the far right party and making that tiny sliver of the whole population realize that their antiquated views aren’t welcome here.

They need to be crushed.

They only exist because people don’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils, so instead they just don’t vote. And what do you know, a -1 for the less evil is just as effective as a +1 for the more evil.

All of their success is brought on by feeding apathy in their opposition, making it more difficult to vote, destroying any faith in the system, and gerrymandering.

So yes, in my opinion, the far left refusing to hold their nose for a few minutes may as well be voting for the insurrectionist.

History has its eyes on them.

Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.

This is bad practice.

More accurately it should look something like this:

# Load sys library for exiting with status code
import sys

def sayHelloWorld(outPhrase: str="Hello World"):
    # Main function, print a phrase and return NoneType
    print(outPhrase)
    return None

if __name__=="__main__":
    # Provide output and exit cleanly when run from shell
    sayHelloWorld()
    sys.exit(0)
else:
    # Exit with rc!=0 when not run from shell
    sys.exit(1)

Aww it looks like if Jonah Hill were typecast as the chubby yet cherubic best friend. Back when Jonah Hill was chubby.

They probably claim pornhub deserves it for hosting trans porn.

You think those preppers were just storing water bottles and bullets?

Nah man. They gotta be self sufficient. Of course they are stocking chicken chokers, noodle floggers, and meat beaters.

Does your local library support Libby?

Libby is an app that allows you to use your library card to check out ebooks, audiobooks, and digitized magazines. Free to anyone with a library card (at a participating library).

That’s one of several resources that a lot of libraries provide. Hoopla, as well, for shows and movies. And some have maker spaces, or 3d printers, or loan tools. And they usually have discount passes for local edutainment attractions (museums, aquariums, zoos, etc).

Some give you a month subscription to genealogy sites. Lots of stuff for little kids and families, usually activities or story times or craft classes. Classes for grownups too.

Tons of stuff at/from your local library. More than just books.

Yeah I rented a Mustang Mach-E and drove between Houston, Austin, Dallas, and back to Houston, without very much charger anxiety. And not being confined to a slow charger…except on the way back to the airport. The first charger I found was a slow charger and all the fast ones were occupied. But still had plenty of charge to find the next station and get it high enough to return

Suburbs are intentionally designed to not be walkable.

To get to the neighbor behind my house, without cutting anybody’s yard, I have to walk about a mile. We aren’t far. His daughters play with my sons through our shared fence.

And that’s a modest example. Plenty of cul de sacs that are “close” to the main street, as a crow flies but a lot further if you’re an East Asian Chinchilla Monkey running as fast as you can.

Wait three days for a medical procedure and nobody bats an eye.

Wait three days for a firearm and everybody loses their minds.

That’s the saying, but in reality it’s more like 80%, or 4/5.

This, being in four states at once, that makes it 4/20.

They aren’t getting beaten up for their money. They are gleefully handing it over to the bully for protection from the real bullies…trans women playing highschool basketball.

Steven Miller

I’d call him “Maurice”.

Consider the difference between “would do” and “could do” to be the same as “will do” and “can do”, respectively.

One implies action, the other implies capability.

There’s also “should”, which implies permission.

Consider, also, the progress of learning Python (programming language):

1. Could I do this in Python?
2. I would do this in Python.
3. I shouldn’t do this in Python.

Edit to add: Would, could, and should are usually considered future-tense. But add “have” and it’s past-tense…“I would have done that”

Yeah. That’s why we can rank on school nights.

Most the players better than us have to go to school in the morning.

We trade sleep for funtime.

As a parent I don’t have the time for multiplayer gaming.

Sometimes I feel like picking up an MMO. Nostalgia is calling for TBC Classic. But then I remember that I’m not going to have this combination of desire and time to play again for like a week, at least.

And I’d spend all my available time tonight just installing it and getting it working.

And then forget it’s installed.

And then next time I can play, it needs to patch.

That’s not way to play an MMO, especially one where I’d be paying $15/Mo for what amounts to a couple hours of playable time.

So yeah…single player ftw.

How you gonna have Wendover and not Half as Interesting (his shorter form side-channel)?

No Road Guy Rob? Or Practical Engineering?

No Extra History? (I only know him from Nebula but I think he’s on YouTube too)

Also recommend 8bit-Guy for retro computing and Modern Vintage Gamer for retro gaming.
