We did that in New Orleans for confederate traitors and everyone under 60 adjusted within a few weeks. Older people still fuck it up but whatever. You forgive grandparents for calling street names by the wrong name. They call half the buildings in the city some name I never even heard of because it changed before I was born. And the building names aren’t even offensive. It’s just whatever company owned it in 1970 to them.
There should probably be a tax on anything that can be described as “ultra-orthodox” of any kind. I’m not a theologian but I’m pretty sure the concept of “plastic” isn’t banned in any faith tradition’s holy book.
They had a screening of Free Willy and changed their minds.
I’m not saying they’re not an annoyance sometimes. But they’ve been in Louisiana (possibly a different species as ours are fully black in color with the same big orange noses). But we have termites, mosquitos, and probably everything else. And the birds, lizards, frogs, etc. have learned to eat them so they probably keep the population in better balance than if they were new to town.
They’re pollinators that don’t sting, bite, or eat your house. They’re not locusts that ruin the harvest or whatever. And in Spring/Summer, it rains basically every day here around 4pm. That probably mostly cleans them off cars and stuff. They’re just part of the ecosystem. If you want birds, you need bugs.
For real. Love bugs are harmless and kind of cute. The main problem is that if you drove anywhere when it was mating season, you had to get a car wash. As bugs go, they were amongst the least annoying. I don’t want to call them “the best” bugs because some butterflies and lightning bugs are pretty cool but love bugs don’t care about us and we don’t care about them. They don’t bite or try to get in your house and birds and other animals have a feast.
They might be the best behaved bugs. They’re just trying to get their freak on.
It’s just WeChat. It’s basically like Venmo. It’s been that way for awhile. Even rural farmer’s markets and street vendors and stuff took WeChat last time I went and that was 7 or so years ago. It’s not a digital currency.
It should be noted that WeChat is very much more expansive in China than in the West where it’s just a chat app. An American friend lived there for awhile for work reasons so I’d go visit her. My WeChat was just a chat app and hers was the “everything app” Elon Musk dreams of making X into. (Which I seriously doubt will work in America because we have different apps that do all that. China didn’t and WeChat filled the void.)
I like it but I’ve always been a very restless sleeper so I’m ultimately happier if I don’t. Like, I put my glass of water far enough from the bed that I’d have to sleepwalk to knock it over. It’s obviously nice to fall asleep cuddling but I (apparently) roll around and throw my arms around. And getting into a (very minor) argument about something you literally can’t consciously control is not fun.
So, I’d rather cuddle (or “cuddle”) and then go somewhere I can fling my arms and roll around randomly.
We keep acting like Netanyahu isn’t going to jail as soon as there’s no war. He’ll bomb the Seychelles before he goes to jail.
Expert on shooting plants with laser beams here. Not quite enough power yet but a swappable battery system and a renewable source with a molten salt reactor could easily solve that problem.
I’d judge him but I once was forced to rent a car in France because of a strike and drove through what was definitely a total pedestrian/restaurant area because it was on a map as a road. It can happen if you’re an idiot with no sense of direction.
Also, Google Maps once tried to give me a shortcut through the Manhattan Project site in New Mexico. The security guard asked for ID and I gave him my driver’s license and he said, “Here’s what you’re gonna do. Go to that turnaround right there and never come back.”
That’s not that much of a twist.
Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons. They’ve enriched uranium to something like 65% to prove they could go further if pressed but no bombs that we know of yet.
Israel’s official policy is to not say whether or not they have nuclear weapons but everyone knows they have them and the “mysterious” test was Israel and Apartheid South Africa working together.
Many more states have the knowledge and capability but generally don’t want to violate the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. I would guess most countries with advanced economies could make a bomb in short time if they wanted to.

Grilled pineapple or pineapple tossed in a crawfish boil is excellent and would be a great burger addition. But it can’t just be a slice of pineapple. Too sweet. It would mess up the cheese flavor. You need to get rid of some of the sugar.
They got the ring leader. Now we just have to catch her chief advisors “Mr. Frog” and someone known only as “The Bear One.” They’re known to have tea parties outside her playhouse.
Thank you for the clarification. None of us know their cap table, obviously, but that’s more plausible than me just guessing based on Tesla.
Take it! I mean, people act like he “owns” his companies but he owns like 8% of Tesla and SpaceX is probably similar. No one gives a shit about his monkey torture project and X+xAI is worthless. Boring Company isn’t doing anything. And if you’re the “CEO” of more than one company, you’re actually running zero. He’s a mascot. We could probably be rid of him for less than the price of widening an interstate for ignorant reasons.
It’s amazing that the billionaires in the new robber baron age who just buy a sports team and ask for subsidies for a new stadium are in the top 10th percentile of billionaire human decency. (There’s a handful of philanthropic ones, obviously, but they seem vanishingly small compared to the ones who just use their money to corrupt everything.)
Like, the last gilded age blew but at least Carnegie, Vanderbilt, etc. felt enough guilt and shame that their old man pissing match was to see who could build the most arts venues, esteemed universities, and other similar institutions. Today’s billionaires are just insane and are like, “Let’s wreck all human progress.”
And before you blame drugs, remember that in 1900, there was cocaine or morphine in everything. (7up had lithium in it so maybe that balanced things out.)
Dockworkers are now officially “the elite” according to the media. Congrats! Welcome!
I put that over my loo. Showers and tubs can be nuanced.
You can give your info to the registrar and then make it anonymous to
whois domain.tldsearches so it’s not public. Cloudflare is the registrar I use these days because it’s a one-stop shop and used the company address but, at least in the U.S., they need your info for both credit/debit card processing. (Processing fees are cheaper the more info they provide but usually any address with the same zip code is enough.)If you have nefarious plans, I don’t have a good recommendation. But if it’s just about privacy, I don’t know if it’s really possible to be completely anonymous anyway. I guess you could use a gift card or something but at least in the U.S., if you own or buy a house, your address is public info already anyway. Shit, city hall will probably give you blueprints of any house.
