Taste test.


Especially from a tech critic.


E.B. Farnum from Deadwood (the HBO show, anyway. Who knows what he was like in real life?)


Agreed on the independence part. We are much more interdependent than we let on (in the US especially, but other places as well).


If everyone 30+ got together and collectively decided what thriving meant, then worked to reach those goals, then I think we would all be thriving.
The majority isn’t hoping for a vacation home or to send their kids to Ivy League schools or to buy a bigger boat. The majority of middle class folk I talk to regard thriving as being comfortable enough to send the kids to some postsecondary school and take a few weeks vacation out of the country. They want to have enough to retire at 65 and live a modest life, be able to spoil their grandkids a little… nothing crazy.
The ability for all of us to thrive is already here. It is only the slight matter of systemic overhaul that prevents us.


If street legal in your area, golf carts should be treated like any other small vehicle like a moped. Restrict it to 35 mph or lower roads, keep it out of bike lanes, register it if needed… the list goes on.
You mention PTC. There, they treat it like any other vehicle. You absolutely can get a DUI (and they love to hand them out). But PTC is a cart community and was born with those laws in place. In a more urban setting where carts are mixing with other light EVs, of course you should hold them to the same rules, but the laws haven’t been written yet.
Please don’t condemn an inexpensive, more sustainable mode of transportation just because a few douche-nozzles are trying to ruin it. A cart seats 4, runs off cheap rechargeables, has a small footprint and low wear and tear on our roads, is a neighborhood level form of transportation and is an attainable EV for anyone who wants to dip a toe in.
Driving across a park in your cart and tearing up the grass while being a tool should always end in a clothesline.
Edit: Sorry, I just realized I replied to the wrong person. We are arguing the same point. No animosity to you. Thumbs up.


Weather Channel just reported a 6 foot peak in Hawaii. It was the 1st time in over a decade they sounded the tsunami sirens.
Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292


What a wimp.


Wasn’t the genome sequencing in 2010 to determine just how the hell he wasn’t suffering from his epic substance abuse? So that we could get some of that Ozzy sauce and party til we drop, of course. Did Keith Richards ever do the same?


I’ll hang on to 10 as long as they’ll let me, but I am never going to 11. Then it’ll be a distro for dis bro.
Sorry.


This is an astute answer. Bravo.
“No women, no kids” is good enough for me.
Finally getting around to Andor S2 (I wanted to devote full attention so I had to wait for a break in my schedule) SPOILER AHEAD: I just watched the Ghorman massacre today. Wow. And so many notes from current events.
Andor S1 did an excellent job of characterizing the start of a revolution, I knew S2 wouldn’t let me down.


If peeing your pants is cool, then I’m Miles Davis.


And I just don’t give Adam.


Before Jenny, there was Pennsylvania 6-5000. From wiki:
“Many big band musicians played in Hotel Pennsylvania’s Cafe Rouge in New York City, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The hotel’s telephone number, Pennsylvania 6-5000, inspired the Glenn Miller 1940 Top 5 Billboard hit of the same name.”
And similarly, Transylvania 6-5000, which is where I first heard it.


Is this the same accent the indie musicians sing in, where they do weird things with their vowels to sound like they ate a lemon recently?
I’ve noticed a staccato cadence to some speech that people might say is indicative of autism, but not an accent.


That’s the secret, and it’s how they keep it hush hush: they don’t take dollars, only shoes. Shoes for the wealthy is like Tide pods for the incarcerated: underground currency. It’s more difficult to hide a shoe in your prison-pocket, but I think the wealthy have people for that.
It doesn’t look like they had a control group of people doing the strength training without any protein supplement. I would assume that group would also perform the same.
