I can't imagine jail time for this, but then I also can't imagine what it's like to go through life losing your child and knowing it's your fault.

To me, that would be literal hell to live with every day. No amount of jail time would come close to matching that torment.

Funny how she has already denounced Trump years ago. She has never liked him, endorsed him, or approved of him. There is video of her shit talking him to her parents and managers.

Shitty as it may sound, and as broken as the US political system is, our votes do count. Just not as much as they should.

We need to vote Democrat until we have a viable option further left or that the right starts moving left to pull in voters forcing the Dems to go even further left. The more of us turn out and vote the more the Republican party is going to need to concede if they want to keep getting elected. I'm in a blue state so while my vote may not be the deciding factor I will still cast it for a left candidate so those on the right that do count the votes know that I want progressive policies and that they don't represent me.

I'd really like to see third parties focus on the local governments and build enough of a base that they can start competing at the state and national level. But sadly we aren't there yet. We need to build that local movement first before voting third party in the presidential election makes sense.

Nice! I have a weird mental block to using stickers. "If I use it, then I won't have it when I want to put it somewhere else."

I like the paddle bottle openers. They are easy and quick to use and don't take up much space at all by the bar.

I collect bottle openers from breweries I've been to. It's less about the thing and more about the going places. The collection is nice, but it could disappear in an instant and I wouldn't really care since I still got to go to all those places and try their beer.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a dictator I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with countries.

For "She was just 17" Paul McCartney was only 21 when that song came out and was dating a 17 year old then. Might have written it when he was 20 and the age of consent in Britain in that time was 16. That's only 3 or 4 years age difference. I don't get weird vibes from that. The Beatles were young when they started.

Neil Sedaka's "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" is one that gives me the strangest vibes.

Eh, I need to find time to fit whatever request came in to my schedule.

It's got a hell of a datacenter.

https://www.switch.com/las-vegas/

From LA to Vegas. Took the servers down end of business one night, drove it all night, installed it and got it back online before start of business the next day.

In the middle of something 200tb for my Plex server going from a 12 bay system to a 36 LFF system. But I've also literally driven servers across the desert because it was faster than trying to move data from one datacenter to another.

Well, since it's illegal for the army to be deployed on us soil for police work. Any subsequent order, like firing on US citizens would be illegal.

It is their duty to refuse. "Just following orders" is not an excuse to commit crimes.

I'm pretty sure that's my first memory of gaming. Having to boot up the system by floppy disks to play the game.

It was tough. But had so much character for a game about shuffle puck.

It is every soldiers duty to defy illegal orders.

I can't say. I think I have uv-5r that can and some that can't.

You'll have to check the listing you got it from. Maybe even go to an unused ham frequency and see what happens when you press the PTT button.

Play Semisonic's "Closing Time" on repeat.

You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

Some baofangs even are sold with the ability to transmit locked out for ham frequencies now. They can still transmit in the frequencies that normal walkie talkies operate on though. I think they started using btech as the brand for the ham radio ones are now.

Was annoyed when I accidentally bought a few of those. But they're only like $17.

Maybe Shufflepuck Cafe on Amiga.

Or Power Pete on an old Mac.

Hell, it could have been some of those edutainment games like Gizmos and Gadgets. Or Kid Pix.

I used to love Widget Workshop

Vera. Technically given by a coworker.

She's a WRX with lots of parts from Cobb.

Vera was Janes favorite after all.

How much are your monthly premiums?

Just because you aren't paying when you go to the doctor doesn't mean you aren't paying every month for it.
