Let them burn.

Public institutions of education

Its almost as if socialism makes total sense.

I just did this! 11 day road trip vacation back through Yellowstone and surrounding areas after going on the same trip (but only spending ~18 hours in Yellowstone) 29 years ago with my dad, uncle and his son. Had my wife and kids and my wife’s best friends’ family along.

I am speeeeed

Hmm I have daydreamed about this scenario. I didn’t realize it was a thing. Thanks, I’ll check into it, though I wouldn’t doubt if it’s not a thing in my dystopian red flyover state.

Edit: Yeah, you have to be the registered owner of 25 or more vehicles to qualify for self insurance in my state. So, dealers and rich people only, unfortunately.

Oh I’m aware of the potential pitfalls but it’s something I’m willing to risk to stick it to insurance. I wouldn’t even carry it if it wasn’t required by law. I have the funds to cover what they would cover.

If Calypso was a boy call me gay all day.

Hey AI helped me stick it to the insurance man the other day. I was futzing around with coverage amounts on one of the major insurance companies websites pre-renewal to try to get the best rate and it spit up a NaN renewal amount for our most expensive vehicle. It let me go through with the renewal less that $700 and now says I’m paid in full for the six month period. It’s been days now with no follow-up . . . I’m pretty sure AI snuck that one through for me.

Once I know its something I’m interested in I go back to the beginning. I’m still somewhere in 2019 in Behind the Bastards. They were so hopeful then . . .

My experience with these units is that they’re horribly unreliable too. I worked in an industry where we’d use these for temporary or emergency cooling for server rooms and I don’t know if I ever saw a model last more than a year. A lot of window units are pretty flaky too, unfortunately, but you’ll probably at least get 2-3 years out of one.

Earlier today I read an article about ChatGPT getting trounced by Chess on the Atari 2600 at the beginner’s setting.

Sometimes sacrifices must be made.

Tax burdens for billionaires

Lets reach a compromise. Impeach Trump (successfully) and then take away SpaceX from Elon. That way things would be fair.

You’re definitely right about Pitchford or w/e dingleberry’s name is.

I also hate splash shields. They’re mildly infuriating. I got the harbor freight Maddox oil filter socket set and now can generally avoid removing splash shields on my fleet

Probably the worst part about oil changes on modern cars. Engineers don’t put a lot of thought into making them quick and easy to take off and put back on, from my experience.

I’m pretty sure it was posted as a joke.

Well, you’re right, but it should have been.

Ok, then, circa early 2000s House on Haunted Hill

Little guy looks like he’s got beef with you.
