Does this feel a little peanuts?

You’d need the suit to allow you to “float” inside or it. Air gapped, and rubber suspension? Maybe some kind of a liquid, but it would probably just allow for more transference?

I doubt I will learn any more than I know.

No worries, best of luck navigating social scenarios. It’s crazy cool.

In the US, a large portion of the population lives rurally, maybe a few miles to a neighbor, maybe blocks. When the power grid/telecommunications go down, a car has just about everything you need for the ability to check in. I understand your thoughts, and agree, supplying everyone with an emergency hand cranked radio would be a fair solution. Most folks that live rurally have one already. As someone who rode out Katrina, cars and radios were extremely helpful, AM especially.

Not to be that guy, but I wasn’t trying to type out two paragraphs…

Yes the mechanism that transmits AM results in less fidelity. Without an HD receiver…

AM’s lack of fidelity allows it to have increased range, so it’s especially important for emergency situations.

Man, I’m so happy to see this kind of dialog. Appropriate debate and resolution. This is so fucking rare to see these days, especially on the interwebs. Jeeze. Thanks for being open.

Plus the need for there to be a physical match is also super crucial and hard to find. Leg/arm length, stride, etc. it’s one of the most beautifully cooperative sports out of necessity.

A reminder to all, Summer Paralympics are coming up. They’re gonna be awesome. The more folks that tune in and support, the better the games will be and the more security they’ll have.

If you’re unaware of the history, Netflix has a great doc called Rising Phoenix that gives a small glimpse into the complexity of obstacles the athletes face and the nature of competition in this world. Highly recommend.

I was way too young, grandmaw had to go to a matinee. Boy, she did love Arnold.

Technically, we were the first to make any Cannabis legislation, in 1619.

Only problem, it was to force folks to grow it.

Weird.

Seems the church was the first to ban it’s use in 1484, does papal law count? Not sure on Tony’s Sources.

The idea of “owing” has changed a lot the last 100 years. Used to be ok to have a little debt. Meant you weren’t going anywhere, you were part of the community, invested. Thats changed now that you owe some obscure billionaire or hedge fund down the line. Means nothing. Changing the idea of how we handle debt as opposed to not letting people acquire it feels more appropriate.

So, my OD limit is $500, my fee is $35 regardless of how much I go over. Often in my poorest of months, I would wait till my account got very low, make sure there wasn’t any autopay or pending charges coming, then take out the $500 cash from an atm. I would use that cash to live on till my next paycheck, and deposit whatever funds were left over. My bank would reject any additional charges because its past the limit. This way I wouldn’t stack OD fees, and that’s less than 10%. In this late stage capitalist dystopia, I’d say that’s probably the best deal I could have asked for, outside of more money.

Or Pumpkin Head OG.

Any of the Scarecrow movies, especially the beach or college ones, but really you want Pumpkin Head 2: Blood Wings.

Yeah, it’s solid.
