nilloc,

Biggus Dickus is the Roman god of overcompensation.

nilloc,

+1 for farm shares, except they’ve mostly closed and sold off their land to developers in my neck of the woods. Getting into the remaining ones has proved difficult.

Also we have a nutty growing season that means it’s mostly root veggies for 8months of the year.

We still want to support local ag, but it ain’t easy in a cold state with aging population.

nilloc,

Yup, the CEOs are trying to blame covid, but regarding NE Sinai in Stoughton:

The healthcare company blamed “skyrocketing expenses” related to labor, material costs due to inflation, and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its decision to close the hospital. Steward also said that it owed about $50 million in unpaid rent.

nilloc,

What’s ridiculous, is that the hospitals can’t do a rent strike if the landlords also own the hospital.

A bunch of fucking sharks. (Insert unlimited shrimp joke here).

nilloc,

Yet another reason corporations aren’t people. Unless you’re a fucking vulture like Romney (formerly of Bane [sic] Capital, who bankrupted Toys-R-Us).

And the moderate or liberal ones are seeing that even though the income taxes aren’t there, that property taxes have to be astronomical to make up for it. So that relatively cheap McMansion 1:45 from Dallas, is gonna end up costing double after 20 years of taxes.

Then leaving.

nilloc,

This guy’s trying to Berkenstein us.

That island is a weird mix of Disney style tourism, and a rich ® people retreat.

We used to go up and ride tandems around the island in the 80s. The fudge was pretty special at the time too. Worth the constant avoidance of horse shit everywhere on the main drag.

Now the chocolate (Kilwins) is available at most vacation spots east of the Mississippi, and even Texas for some reason, and the road around the island is constantly getting washed out because of the Great Lakes flooding, from the climate disaster that probably 85% of the islands land owners deny exists.

There’s even a ridiculous giant gold Gerald Ford head up there near the scout camp, you know, the guy who pardoned Nixon.

I went back with my son a couple years ago, and decided that was probably the last visit for us. Other places in northern MI are much more beautiful and nicer to visit.

nilloc,

Now do natural gas methane leaks.

nilloc,

You were right without the /s. Descrutum will try anyway if it will put his shitty state in the news. Even if it’s just another frivolous lawsuit.

nilloc,

I agree about the meat and dairy infrastructures. And grain production to, which basically turns diesel fuel into junk-food.

But the leaks from natural gas methane delivery, production and use are much easier to stop though, and would help the supposed greenhouse savings from switching to gas over coal.

nilloc,

Was rich do-gooders.

Then tech bros.

Now Elon-a-bes.

If any of the first 2 owners want to get rid of theirs’ cheaply, I’d be happy to take it and rip the batteries and drivetrain out for making cool cars EVs.

Hit me up.

nilloc,

Darth Marge has never closed those windows.

nilloc,

They’d be willing to pretend if they had to, but now there’s no need.

Unless a super majority were to get elected to congress, that could either impeach them or at least pass laws governing their emoluments and conflicts of interest.

nilloc,

The same way that they say: migrant workers are lazy welfare queens who are simultaneously taking all our jobs.

nilloc,

I agree about trailers, but one full of sand will weigh too much for most American SUVs/CUVs let alone sedans.

I’m pretty sure cars and non trucks are vastly underrated for towing in the US though, since the same cars in Europe often have 50%+ towing capacities. The excuse is always that our highway speeds are higher, but I suspect maintaining high truck sales has more to do with it.

nilloc,

These were done before photoshop though.

Also writing backwards, or upside down isn’t that hard with a little practice, especially if you’re decent at drawing.

My wife couldn’t believe how fast I could write backwards on a window, when she first saw it. But I’m also a slightly dyslexic, lefty, who can write backwards with my right hand and has a bachelor of fine art in design…

nilloc,

Did you see what he’s painting? The shirts kinda tame by comparison.

nilloc,

It’s probably all those missing top secret files. But Trumps judge is never gonna let that see the light of day.

nilloc,

No, their “news” outlets just don’t cover it. They keep busy with fear lingering about anti-woke, cancel cultures, and Chinese immigrants in the Darian gap.

nilloc,

Common with karting. Getting thrown off is the plan if it rolls. Wearing motorcycle leather or a tough race suit is also part of the safety.

And also only doing it on a track!

I’d be most worried about the wheels and tires that don’t look prepared for any kind of side loading.

nilloc,

And apples, naval oranges, corn (especially gmo).

nilloc,

Entrepreneurial ego plays a part I think. Unless they already found 60 people that want them for this price.

Developing an agile enough process and factory to make things like this might be an interesting business model. Probably way Too low profit to attract investors though.

The Sinclair C5 is pretty much the same idea and from the 80s.

But not enclosed.
