Argongas,

I've been playing Palia. It's a chill MMO focused on resource gathering, NPC quests, and crafting.

Argongas,

In all seriousness, he could someday move to an employee and customer ownership model and give or sell shares of steam to uses. Would be an awesome fuck you to all the big corporations trying to dominate the games industry.

Argongas,

Ideally, you work towards an associates degree which then makes it even easier to transfer to a university. Many states have agreements between community colleges and universities where your associate's degree counts for the first 2 years of studies and all of your electives. So when you start a university you jump right into your major. However, you will have to take more than just one class at the community college.

Argongas,

We need more Democrats in the Senate. To get that we need better representation in States or more senators. Folks have to start working at the local and state level to start affecting change, because in the current system it's really hard to make that happen from the top down.

We should totally be going for a judicial reform, both of the district, federal circuit, and supreme Court levels. Republicans have what they have today because they've had a 40 to 50-year strategy led by the Federalist society to put conservative judges and positions of power up and down the ladder. And Democrats are about 30 years behind.

Argongas,

Balls

Argongas,

AFIK, all the subsides for EVa in the US already require them to be made and produced domestically.

Argongas,

I don't think our industrialized food and unwalkable cities are mutually exclusive when it comes to obesity.

Argongas,

Given that abortion and legal weed will both be on the ballot in Florida this cycle, turnout could a lot different this time around.

Argongas,

Rather than no socks, get a pair of no-show socks. Especially if you'll be wearing them on multiple occasions where your feet will sweat, otherwise you'll probably get blisters and eventually your shoes will stink very badly.

Argongas,

Hit up one of the poster vendors that usually visits university campuses to get some wall decoration.

A RGB lighting strip around the roof perimeter can do wonders for setting the mod of the room.

If you have want to have people in your room to hang out, consider getting a futon instead of a bed. Won't do your back any favors, but will be more functional during the college years.

Argongas,

You can get a watch repair kit on Amazon that will have the tools to remove the pins between the links.

I've also had luck going to a department store with a jewelery counter and seeing if they can make adjustments. Especially if it's a brand of watch they carry, you can always say someone got it as a gift for you from that chain of stores.

Argongas,

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I heard the argument made that AI maybe would be better for killing. People mess up all the time and misidentify threats which causes collateral damage in conflicts often. AI in theory could be much better at this identification process.

It's kind of the same argument with self driving cars: we freak out whenever they get in an accident, but people causing thousands of accidents a day doesn't cause an outage.

Not saying I necessarily agree with either argument, but they do make me question how we think about and evaluate technology.

Argongas,

Wait, is this not satire?

Argongas,

Traffic enforcement and red light cameras. I used to be very opposed to them, but I've since come to appreciate the absurdity of America's car central culture.

Additionally, traffic stops by police disproportionately effect minorities and lead to escalations and other issues, while taking away enforcement capacity from more important things.

I still don't think the cameras should necessarily be run by private, for profit entities. Nor would I really want cameras that ticket you if you go 1 mph over. But in general I'm much less opposed to the idea than I used to be.

Argongas,

The impact of the death of community in modern society (at least in America) can not be understated. I wish we had comparable institutions to churches that could provide community without the religion.

Argongas,

There was an interview with E Jean Carroll and her attorney and they claimed Trump had to pay it out pocket for the first defamation fine because no bond company would work with him. That was only for like $5 million.

House Republicans impeach Mayorkas by a single vote (www.washingtonpost.com)

House Republicans moved in historic fashion and impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by a single vote on Tuesday night, succeeding on their second try in punishing the steward of President Biden’s immigration policy....

Argongas,

There actually is a pretty unprecedented number of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers entering and trying to enter the country which has put a strain on border communities over the past couple of years.

Argongas,

Both my kids (4 and 7) use fire tablets and we have the subscription with it to get them access to lots of free apps.

I put memory cards in both, as what they come with is insufficient. The older versions we had were a little janky, but we haven't really had any issues with the current ones.

The parental controls could be better but work okay. In the kids version of the interface you don't really see ads, just app recommendations. Some of the apps still have gated content, but it hasn't really been an issue.

Argongas,

She's not going to beat him in the primary, however there's a not insignificant chance that Trump flames out (disqualification or conviction) and she'll be the only candidate left with some delegates and she'll default her way into the nomination.

Argongas,

Still a mystery, why the Randa children are annoying indecisive little twats.

Argongas,

Beware the touch attack on that monster.

Argongas,

Cut way down on alcohol. I was never a heavy drinker, but still 2-3 beers a day adds up and takes a toll on your body. Now I only drink on special occasions or socially, and minimally at that.

Similarly, stop drinking energy drinks and soda on all but rare occasions. My acid reflux vanished after I cut out energy drinks.

Argongas,

The wild thing is that it was two very conservative Federalist lawyers who wrote the initial article (based on originalism) putting out the theory that Trump should be disqualified.

Further, the amendment specifically lays out Congress's role: they can, with 2/3rds vote, remove the imposed disqualification disability.

Ezra Klein had a great podcast on this awhile back.

Argongas,

Now there's a name I haven't heard in like 20 years. It occurs to me I still remember my old ICQ number, 3939036 (I think).
