For those that think the files will be heavily redacted, I have a question. Ready?

We just got 20,000 docs that were not redacted in any way. How do you think the full release will be edited?

Been saying for 2-3 weeks now (feel free to check me), the GOP rats are bailing off this sinking ship.

Trump cannot win new converts. Been saying that for years. His dementia cannot be ignored any longer. The media may be quiet, but we all see it, Congress does too. The cult leader is months away from not being allowed in public. His temper is boiling over faster and faster. FFS, he can hardly walk.

Oh, and there's the whole Epstein thing. Notice how the GOP went on full lock-down over it? We all know how bad those files will be.

Couple that with a drunken "kill 'em all" Department of War Secretary, ordering illegal strike on civilian vessels, and everything else...

Been watching the headlines lately? Keep watching. This isn't, "I'll believe it when I see it." bullshit. See it. Believe it. The tide is turning fast.

Did you actually read my post?!

Subsidised? Don't think you know what Habit for Humanity does.

Anyway, I'm not baggin' on young people for rent ills. Were you able to read, I'm saying they should be extra pissed off.

 

He was not amused when I sent him this back in the day. Dude has 3 balls, no lie, total horndog.

That's rather the point? See how ridiculous is sounds in a different context?

Tried actual Band Aid™ brand? Hate to sound like I'm shilling, but I get beat up a lot in the woods and on the water. Never had a hydrocolloid fail, even if it was mushed in my tiny aid kit for months. Again, Band Aid™ brand works way better. Easier to get out the package, sticks way better, comes off better.

Hate buying the brand name because it costs so much more, but, get what ya pay for.

They're cool to swim with! Water's plenty clear where they hang. Ex-gf was a diver and had a side hustle taking people swimming with manatees near the warm springs where they post up for the winter.

They'll come right up on you! You just can't touch them. She even got a pic of a newborn! Like, a few minutes old newborn!

Imma try it then! My wife rarely drinks and I only drink cheap beer. We have loads of crappy alcohol around we'll never touch.

How does ethanol compare for the task I would use isopropyl for? Cleaning stuff mainly.

You obviously weren't around for the 1980s, and that's OK! But don't try to shoehorn current events into what we dealt with in the past.

Listening to what my 10 and 12-yo hear on whatever they're on, "Oh for fuck's sake! Can you not tell that's bullshit?! 'DID YOU KNOW?!'", followed by a fire hose of partially true things.

When I have them over Christmas we need to have a long sit down on media literacy and the difference in fact vs. opinion. I got taught that shit in 70s-80s science class. I've been a poor father thinking they got the same.

Read her posts? I did. It's as if she's the perfect plant to pretend to conservatism, yet beats hell out of Trump daily.

Ah fuck me. Believe whatever makes you feel better. That's kinda what we do around here.

I repeat myself:

"She dumb! Me smart!"

 
 
 

Feeling it's a dumb question because my brain isn't parsing exactly how this is supposed to work.

Anyone in the UK want to give it a spin?

 

"Why are you striking today dad?"

"No idea, but the plumbers are on strike so the electricians are joining them."

 
 

You say "apple" to me and I'm #1, glossy skin, insides, all that

And how in the hell does one navigate life, or enjoy a book, if they're not a #1?! Reading a book is like watching a movie. I subconsciously assign actor's faces to characters and watch as the book rolls on.

Yet #5's are not handicapped in the slightest. They're so "normal" that mankind is just now figuring out we're far apart on this thing. Fucking weird.

EDIT: Showed this to my wife and she was somewhat mystified as to what I was asking. Pretty sure she's a 5. I get frustrated as hell when I ask her to describe a thing and she's clueless. "Did the radiator hose pop off, or is it torn and cracked?" "I don't know!"

EDIT2: The first Star Wars book after the movie came out was Splinter in the Mind's Eye. I feel like I got that title. What's it mean to you?

 
 
 

Can't be havin' with this.

 

My mechanic sold it to me through some cousin he barely knows. Guy was fixing it for his nephew after the last hurricane chunked some trees through it, gave up. For $3,500, PERFECT!

Ugly as hell*, no worries anyone will try the door handles for goodies. "Meh. This guy's poor." Mechanically? Solid as granite.

Pro tip: Went for new plugs and wires to Advanced Auto, $145. Nope. Amazon, $46. Rear pads? AutoZone: $48. Amazon: $18 for Bendix pads (which reviewers outside of Amazon like?)

Anyway, it's my own, personal YT-1300 light freighter. "Don't worry. She'll hold together… Hear me, baby? Hold together."

* Funny pic. That was the end of a record snowstorm, in NW Florida. My town got the all-time high score at 10"! See what happens when global warming beats the polar vortex into loops? Yeah.
