That's exactly the goal. America associates work with virtue, and if you stop working, what are you? In their eyes, a drain on society.

I do this all the time! I can't count the number of times I've revised something with a sentence that feels emotionally heavy and perfect for the moment only to scroll down and see the same thing in the next paragraph.

Emperor's Children Helbrute painted a fleshy purple, standing on a sandy shore

Here's the back so you can see the waves in the sand

You could get white flocking and build it up to make snow banks. I have a beach theme for my Emperor's Children, so I have sand and water. I built up layers of sand by using layers of PVA glue (Elmer's glue). Here's my Helbrute, for reference. You put down glue, apply sand. Let set overnight. Repeat

For clear ice, you can under paint the base with the ice color and use a product called "Realistic Water." It's a pourable resin that dries clear. You can even do it in layers to put things like scratches and chips within the ice.

Since the invention of agriculture, the people doing the farming have dreamed of not doing the farming. They moved to cities to not do the farming. They worked in factories to not do the farming. They went to war and joined the circus and ran away from home, all to NOT DO THE FARMING.

This person has no idea what it's like to walk around a grocery store and know that if it's not on sale, it's basically not even for sale.

Oh we're Spurs-ing alright. We're Spurs-ing so hard.

My boys are already down 4 goals. 🙃

"I wouldn't mind seeing Kinsky given a chance"

This is how I felt watching Twisted Metal. Is that show good? No. The acting is hammy. The plot is ridiculous. The entire thing makes no sense. It's big and loud and dumb, and I loved every second of it.

Everybody close your eyes and wish real hard for the desalinization plant to start working again. Maybe we can wish the flames at the oil refinery away.

I don't get it. Trump goes on TV and gives hem-and-haw answers about ending the war he started. The Straits are still closed. Oil prices drop. The Dow surges.

What the hell are we even doing here?

I think this might have a regional element to it as well. I was raised in the South, and asking who you voted for is considered very rude. Southern manners and such. I suspect the same white supremacy reasons are why. It let's everyone gasp about how rude it is rather than answer the question.

No worries. I've gotten a bunch of questions over the years about sales outside North America, and the answer always depends on where you are.

It's also available through Amazon, so that might work.

Since this story has decided to pop off, I suppose I should plug the book I wrote about my life driving for Uber. It's about the gig economy and how it lures in and exploits vulnerable people, but it's also full of stories from people I met on the road. It's available in Kindle, paperback, etc.

It was great. I laid around at a villa in the countryside. It was a real...

I love this version of it:

In a much younger life, I was hitting on a woman in a DC bar, and when she asked what I did (which is all anyone in DC cares about), I said I was an intern.

She literally laughed in my face and walked off.

DC was not the place for me.

We're getting relegated. This is abysmal. I'm in shock.

Dan, I still don't know why you won't answer my question about what you were doing on the grassy knoll.

Enjoy it. It's a delight.

I'm anticipating it will rise ten cents per day all this week. I remember four dollar gas, and I'm not looking forward to that again. Who knows where it stops.

I've been tracking the price at the gas station near my classes. Up $0.20 already this week.

Him being able to tell the system to turn on the outside lights and close the shades and turn off his reading lamp at night is the perfect use case for these devices. It was assistive technology and perfect for him. It reduced the risk he could fall and be injured. I was so happy when he did it.

My brother and I are past trying to help. We accept with weary resignation that one of us will eventually inherit a router fit for an entire office building.

Fuck you, ChatGPT.
