medicare for me, bombs for thee

I can’t be a paedophile because there isn’t a child equivalent for men, whom I am very gay horny for.

Importantly though he is selling snow to make people freezed to death faster.

She’s eating hungry soup, the only soup that makes you hungry. Xi Jinping invented it himself to do The Purge 1.0.

HORRIFYING: woman eats lunch while dressed for winter during winter

Keep the same cast as the first scene. Lil monkey men destroying everything in space.

We know his immediate reaction to it. He called into The Howard Stern Show and said Trump Tower was now the tallest building in Manhattan. He’d tell the children that.

That glow off in the distance? That’s 5000~ nuclear warheads falling into the hands of the evangelical death cultists who have infiltrated the Air Force.

The thing that made him lucky was the Christmas ham he had in his pants. They changed his name when woke happened.

Kirby can suck anyone according to his ability, and be anyone according to his need.

It’d be amazing if this thing panned out, especially if the claims of no rare-earth metals is true. The Ford Model T moment for ebikes and velomobiles comes when someone can offer a perfectly safe, fast-charging battery that reliably reaches 160km/100mi on a $1000 platform. We’re within 60km of that but performance has plateaued over the past few years due to the lithium-ion packs. Bringing more packs results in rocket equation problems that you can only solve with a 2-5 hour recharge, and the best batteries only last like 10k cycles. We’ll get runaway induced demand for pedestrian infrastructure, and especially interurban cycling lanes, when a reliable ebike is 1/10th the price of a reliable used car and you can refuel it just as easily.

I yearn for the garden city full of people driving their $1000 microcampers between common land and natural areas.

edit: Goddamn, they go into the Watt hours per kg energy density around the 30 minute mark. My entry level Aventon cargo ebike’s battery is about 150 Wh/kg. Their CTO claims their first commercial cell is 400 Wh/kg and not near the theoretical density of the design. That’d be about 200km/130mi of range for my bike.

I liked the original and didn’t know it had sequels. Those certainly devolve really quickly.

Her research and book sound really neat. I didn’t know we had detailed microeconomic records of households from ancient civilisations. Tracking that as a social history brings the period to life for me.

It’s a great hobby to take up. Fungiculture taught me a lot and you’ll get such a surplus from the 6-12 colonies you can fit in a shelf like that.

Even just growing them away from a living area and handling them with dedicated clothing and a mask would be enough to avoid it. I’ve never had that problem with other fungi like Psilocybe or Boletus, but something about oysters is almost on par with puffball toxicity.

I use this style of shelf: https://www.amazon.com/Sakugi-Storage-Shelves-Organizer-Shelving/dp/B0D5CKB5CT/

Then you just match the dimensions to a cover like this: https://www.amazon.com/Formosa-Covers-Premium-Clear-Front/dp/B07RXP6CDQ

They help to maintain the 80-85% relative humidity that fungi like, keep out air contaminants, and you can minimise the spore movement. Mushroom worker’s lung is a shitty illness: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9841544/

If you’re growing those oysters in the open air like that, it’d be worthwhile to get a 5 tier metal shelf and a zip cover for it. The spores of Pleurotus species are pretty toxic and will cause an allergic reaction to them.

It isn’t cocopuffs without full cock.

FINALLY. I have waited so long for this. Woke destroyed cereal the moment they removed the mascots’ penises. Tony the Tiger, the Trix Rabbit, the Lucky Charms Leprechaun and Froot Loops Toucan- these used to be symbols of masculinity that were proudly engorged on the box.

It’s a logistical nightmare for the city to mobilise for a snowstorm. At least here, the workers are only with the city because they give a shit about the social utility of the work. If they worked the same storm in the private sector, they’d make 2-3x as much. 5-10x as much if they owned a pickup truck. They’re usually getting the muster call at midnight to wake up at 2 AM for a 4 AM report time, then only getting 6 hours of normal-rate work at best. Almost all of them are seasonal workers who otherwise don’t get any hours between September and March, making less than they could in fast food without benefits. This season, despite having full availability on the muster sheet and being required to answer the call no matter when under threat of losing that job, there have only been two snow storms and I haven’t been called in for either.

We could and do outsource parts of that work to contractors. They do a terrible job because they care about profit instead of social utility, frequently damaging stuff that we then have to repair because the contractors to do that cost way more too. All of those workers are making $30-50/hour to do a worse job than the municipal workers do for $17.50/hour. They’re taking our jobs and we’re empowering them over the winter to do more in the spring, where more is poisoning our water supply and air to give rich assholes green lawns and increase our rent. Reinforcing those contracts only offloads more work to the private sector with direct consequences for everything that touches.

The mixed responsibility means they can’t do anything more than patchwork clearing of the spaces that need to be safe by the time people wake up. If they assume control of the non-municipal spaces that time instead of waiting 24 hours to fine the HOA/landlord or let the feds/county/state use their budgets for that, it’s instantly expected to the same standard next time. All of that falls on the backs of the skeleton crew the city can convince to work for half the pay and no health insurance beyond workman’s comp at the city-run clinic.

There’s no way in hell I’d do it unless I was a communist doing what I’d do for free under communism and clearing the routes that I use to make them safe for my neighbours.
