She ran unopposed in the last election after claiming she was going to retire. However, because the local Democratic party can't get its shit together to run a candidate, she just filed her papers and extended her career of taking those free tax dollars and putting them in her pocket.

They're not cool. They're fast and good for giving lots of shots in a situation where you need to get a lot of people in a hurry - especially if you're giving multiple vaccinations at the same time.

I got one of those used on me in basic training - a place where you need to vaccinate a few thousand people in about 30 minutes. Each one could do 4 shots at a time, and they had them in multiple configurations so you could get up to 4 in each arm for each "injection" station. We stepped through the line, and you got whatever shots you were missing in your records.

It hurts, like you could imagine a high pressure power washer with a needle-point burst with 4 heads blasting vaccines in your arms. It works, in the machine-like way the military works, and it is highly effective for mass vaccinations. So, I guess it makes it cool, but also it sucks like you'd expect 4-30 vaccines at once would suck.

That was bait. They say something borderline reasonable now, and you listen. Eventually, they say something weird and you let it slide. These people weasel themselves into reasonable people's lives and ruin them, day after day.

What socialist country has restaurants that give an itemized bill in English with USD for the currency?

One of my favorites to get when traveling with family, because it's available almost everywhere, and is consistently great for the price.

I'm trying to learn banjo. I'm not sure it's supposed to be played with whole notes, but fuckit. It's what I can do, ok?

Every Unity developer is under the same agreement. The changes were not announced to be "moving forward". It's a change to existing licenses to use Unity. For everyone. Everywhere.

I don't know that licensing changes have been retroactive in the past. How do lawyers prevent companies from retroactively changing licensing? My guess would be to sue after the fact, which is probably why these developers are hinting that they're going to suffer economic harm if Unity follows through with this. This statement may be their lawyers doing the work they'd normally do in this kind of circumstance.

That's probably what she does with my mail when it arrives to her with the opinion of one of her constituents. Seems fair turnabout.

I'm just now learning about SimpleLogin. Something to look into when I don't feel like I've just exited a 10 hour nightmare after work.

One of my Senators is Marsha Blackburn, whose photo is used in this cal to action. She will tell me that I'm stupid and should support the bill, and then I'll be on her GD mailing list again (it is very difficult to get removed from that list).

...and my mind is stronger than a child's...

It's not though. It really, really isn't.
