We usually keep a 3-dog pack at home, two small dogs (25-35 lbs) and one medium dog (65 lbs). The big boy with the bassy bark to deter break-ins and scare away harassers for my wife when she’s walking them, and the two smaller owns so we can manage a pack that everyone has friends in.

Our youngest is such a bundle of love and joy… I think we’ll get 10 more years out of him, at least. He’s four. We got him after the one that died from the bowel obstruction.

It’s rough, but in a few months my wife will probably want to get another medium sized boy, and she’ll check the pounds. I think it took us 3 months to replace the first one.

Lost a dog to lymphoma. The whole week prior he was mostly not eating, his back legs were swollen up, and he was having even more trouble standing up and walking. Saturday I woke up and found him under the guest bed laying in a puddle of blood, I cleaned everything up while my wife called vets and then researched an at-home euthanasia. He was 9, a pitlab mix. I figured the mix in him would make him healthy, but he died so young. I lost my last one to a bowel obstruction in 2020, he was 11 or 12. The next one’s 11 right now, but going strong. Watch the universe take him 2028, that’d be every 4 years right now…

Anyway, back to work tomorrow, so hey… the wheel keeps on turnin’.

Working out well isn’t the point, the point is to break America and destroy the leading adversary of Russia, China, and North Korea. He and the Republican Party are absolutely dancing to the tune of the financial benefactors and puppeteers.

The Handmaiden’s Tale wasn’t supposed to be a blue-print, guys. It was supposed to be a warning.

That’s what my quoted portion is describing, too. Hostile governments and the ruling elite have infiltrated Congress, and told them to bicker and act like they’re trying but actually do nothing noteworthy. Republicans are dancing to their tune and, yeah also benefiting from it. ‘See, how the government doesn’t work! Elect more stooges and dismantle it further! (Also, Project 2025!!)’

Eh, I’ll accept your explanation.

We can’t get Congress to agree to anything right now, the ruling elite and external hostile governments have crippled them. The Republican members see this as a win for Trump and that Biden has limited time and won’t do anything antagonistic. Remember, the SCOTUS is the only entity that can determine whether or not a president acted officially, as per this ruling. The SCOTUS, that’s heavily right leaning, would crucify a Democratic president and justify a Republican. The other route would be impeachment, but we saw how that went and it has the same problems as a constitutional amendment, the gridlock in Congress.

Why is 6 the maker of the thing instead of the one that eats/drinks it? They broke the whole… set up.

Let’s not forget all the shit the US was getting for withholding the Afghan government’s money when it collapsed and refusing to give it to the Taliban and the Afghan people, and the sanctions. Even after a military invasion and an attempt to bring democracy didn’t work, and sanctions and withholding their prior government’s money didn’t either. Not only did all of that not work, they were directly detrimental to the people that the US was trying to ‘help’.

What do you expect the world to do now? Another long ground war? Sanctions that’ll starve the Afghan people?

Yeah, the first time I went there when I got this location… a fat slob of a white dude was beached on the bar, like a walrus, listening to country music loudly on his cell phone… not even using a blue tooth speaker, just his shitty cell phone speaker. And the bartender and other waitresses didn’t say anything to him.

Then, on top of what felt like a long time waiting for my service, I saw two black couples waiting at the hostess station waiting to be seated, right? Then a party of 7 white guys walked in and THEN the lady I mentioned in the prior comment rushed over to the hostess station and immediately sat those guys, ignoring the couples that had been sitting there for like 10-15 minutes waiting to be seated. The white guys ASKED the black couples how long* they had been waiting, and then said they hoped they didn’t have to wait that long. It blows my mind.

Needless to say, when I was done and cashing out I told her what I saw, and then immediately sent a review or ticket to corporate about that place. 3-4 months later I went back, co-workers chose it, she was still working there but yeah that place was still rough.

But, that’s the point. Chile’s can be good food for $15 dollars for those families that it caters to. Hell, I’ll go to Ruby Tuesdays and get a double of their Cajun chicken pasta, and sit at the bar, when I’m away for work. And the place is rough… like the manager is racist as fuck and skips black couples, her teeth are black, and idk how she’s so big when I know she’s using meth… but, hey, I want my double Cajun chicken pasta and to fuck off because I’m away due to work and it’s cheap. Its rural, very BFE Georgia, too.

Point I’m making, though, for people who can say ‘$15 is good’, then for them it’s good. Your statement sort of feels like it takes away from that group’s struggle.

Good article, and good people volunteering to help mitigate the problem. The use of the fire department dive team is also pretty neat, but Rischke is right, Divvy should do something more: a more robust GPS device and a full time magnetic recovery boat might be worth looking into.

What does it mean about the broader* global warming issue?

Has to be the classic floating monk in touristee area gag. Steel pole up his pant leg, in this case it would have to connect to steel chest harness for him and then her:

‘>-(her)-(him)-> with a steel pole from the ground to his chest rig.

there were a couple things that I hated about their overpromising on the front end; the uniform procedurally built worlds (there’s no real variety of terrain like Earth), the repetitive assets for structures (they’re all the same), planets don’t actually revolve around anything And you can’t fly between systems (they’re boxes, it’s not open. The only way from one system to the other is a loading screen hidden behind a warp animation).

Did they fix these?

I mean, I stayed until the end but my drinking skyrocketed. I honestly don’t remember the end. It was rough. Being a little informed I knew good and well that Trump was absolutely dodging the questions and laying down outright lies and propaganda, but every time I looked at Biden… holy fuck.

Funny thing, I couldn’t figure out how to use the higher tier magic you got from the stones you collected. I played the whole game using the base spells you got from the environment. I wish Google were around back then to figure that one out.

Reminds me of ordering* ‘Cajun fries’ at that one American fast food diner with the black and white checkerboard. They literally charge you a quarter more to sprinkle the same Cajun seasoning that’s on your table. Holy fuck… I was more than a little pissed when I saw that after sitting down.

I’d have a full on hard on after mercing* 4-5 without getting shot myself. Daphne is rocking it, kudos to her.
