I try to, but I am really confused with my place. I live in a small town that is one of the more remote places of the US that is on an interstate (maybe a confliction), my neighbors on one side are Latino, and on the other Sikh, and neither one has had an observable change since January. I think that most of these folks believe they are safe here, and maybe that is true, but nobody wants to talk about it. The independence day stuff was muted, but it's really dry here so that is normal. Everyone respected that. Still plenty of music and gatherings and what not. But most folks here are conservative, even those who are vocal about their dislike of Trump.

So, to answer your question, I touch grass daily. I mean, this is bad. I can't get other people onboard, hey still seem to feel that it is affecting "others." I work for the federal government, and they say things like "they don't mean you" and I think, they mean us.

Almost none of these songs make sense. Even those that do, don't. I'm also pretty sure my local rock station played some of these at the time but I'm not sure I was aware of this list at the time. It says suggested so I guess it didn't matter. They also didn't censor songs so probably didn't care.

The author doesn't mention it, but their final argument, to me, is stoicism. It's hard to get into for some, and for me, sometimes hard to stick with, but it is such an incredibly helpful thing to understand. It's also frequently misunderstood. Just like "wasting time."

Our plugs now have plugs I guess.

This makes me think about simcity and how the issues with residential, commercial, and industrial squares would cause problems. Except here they can't just select the bulldozer. I don't know how to classify a bitcoin mining farm (agricultural 🤔 ) but it seems different than a school, which also is ambiguous (to me).

Wow that was really great! The radio market I lived in when this would have been current probably wouldn't have played this so I am happy to have heard it now. It says alt rock on the description, if so, it adds a lot more depth to that genre when compared to the big bands of the time I knew of and no longer listen to very much.

I worked on a ranch in Montana USA that did this, but as I recall their position was that "patrolling" was the best deterrent. You had to get out and ride and basically be present by the cattle.

The homeless-industrial complex. Which, having thought that out, sounds awful.

Generally our organs don't rupture without some other function. In your example, we probably don't have good studies to reflect how long humans can hold urine in until "something" happens. We do have good studies on trauma patients, and I think that would be where the rupturing would be.

I used the block element feature of Ublock, but I don't know if that works in incognito or if it blocks their cookies. I also grew tired of having to disable it but didn't consider the ramifications of making it invisible to me 🤔

From a brief look, this seems way more approachable than the Linux "Bible" or whatever it was called that I used 20 years ago.

That is nuts. I've always liked hardwired better but hard to do that with a mobile phone.
