Exactly. They want to be perceived as smarter (basically look down on the unwashed masses.) They don't want to do the work to be more educated. Hence the hurdles they can put in front of the poors while they get to pay for fastpass to skip the line directly into the ivy leagues.

They were NEVER smarter. At most at one time they had more leisure time and access to books and tutors when reading and books were rare. That made them more educated, and they want to go back to that desperately.

lol, a new layer of enshittification?

Let's break this down and look at it a different way.

If my hobby were shooting guns and I were to set up a shooting range in my garage and I killed a neighbor, am I responsible?

If my hobby were fireworks and I was making them in my kitchen and burned down my apartment building killing 3 people, am I to blame?

The driver is engaging in a dangerous hobby in a reckless manner. We all know racing is dangerous because people die even in controlled conditions. We know he is being reckless because he is not racing in a place designed for it. When you put others in harms way based on your own stupidity, you face consequences.

you ever been on one of those plastic lawns in the hot summer? They will blister your bare feet.

thank you

is there a similar contingency in the California law?

I do lots of vegies. classics are zuchini (cut into slabs lengthwise), onion (quarters or rings together) mushroom, bell pepper quarters. Also eggplant (cut in discs), whole tomatos are really good grilled.

Getting into the more novel stuff:

romaine

waffles

also kabob is always good and pretty easy.

I've been given some equipment that recorded my breathing and heartrate (little tubes near my mouth and nose, chest strap). just check em out and return them the next day.

I'm in a similar boat. Over an hour commute, younger kids with afterschool activities 4 days a week. A wife has a full-time job, luckily, she finally finished her master' so we reclaimed Saturdays and I'm not running the taxi service solo.

Shit is exhausting, but I am glad our daughters got to see their mom a accomplished something so huge, and I'm proud to have supported her along the way.
