I wondered why Rudy Patootie was getting into coffee all of a sudden. Alex Jones and James Bakker seem to have the doomsday prepper markets sewn up, and all these hypervigilant militiamen are gonna need some stimulants. The SS and German regular army were into amphetamines, including meth I guess, and that didn’t really work out all that well in the long term. Yeah, it worked great for the Blitzkrieg, but not so much for defense. Too much sitting and waiting. Coffee’s better.

As a species, we can't reach a unanimous belief that the Earth is round but we have nuclear weapons.

@chronomyst
FWIW, the people who have access to the nuclear weapons (in general, at least) are not the ones who doubt the roundness. So far, anyway.

So, what's up with idiots having bullets in their luggage when they go to Turks and Caicos? How stupid do you have to be to do this, especially if you're the fucking fifth one in the past few weeks? They didn't even have guns. Just fucking bullets. And not all of them were men! There were a couple women too. Lock 'em up.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with a slightly (19%) increased risk of heart failure up to 20 years after diagnosis https://www.byteseu.com/128718/

@byteseu
Seeing as how it’s been 56 years since I was diagnosed I guess I’m overdue. We also have a 10% increased chance of getting bowel cancer, and it goes up another percent or so every year. Maybe I’m just lucky. Good times.

I hope they can carve out something like allowing parents to opt in for their kids to get a book. My parents told the librarians when I was 7 years old I could sign out any book I wanted. This was in 1957.

I got to use my jail bag today!

I live near Bathurst jail. I used to live across the corner from it, but now we've moved about 10 minutes away.

While we lived across the corner I'd often see people released from the jail and start the 50 minute walk down to the station as they were just dumped back into society with less and less assistance or support in place. I'd often pop out the front door and ask of they wanted a lift, a number of times they'd say yes and I'd drive them down to the station (and once to Lithgow because he missed the train). People who do their time at Bathurst have been shipped in from all over the state, and are expected to just be able to get home again.

They also all carry their belongings in a clear plastic baggie the jail has given them, and everyone here knows if someone is carrying that bag they've just been released.. and a lot of people treat them like shit.

I started keeping a reusable shopping bag in my car to give them instead of using the clear baggie. Then I started stocking the bag with some essentials (masks, soap, socks, deodorant, snacks, drink, water, crossword book, pen, etc), so they might have a bit of comfort on their journey home.

Today I drove past the jail after dropping my housemate to work, and there was a guy standing at the bus stop with a clear baggie, so I asked if he wanted a lift to the station and gave him my jail bag.

He's excited to get home and see his dog after 16 months.
