Eh, more like Trekkies are techies. I would consider myself somewhat of a techie, definitely nerdy, and very much into sci-fi, but I really don’t give a shit about Star Trek. I’ve seen a lot of it, just because I’ve had a couple girlfriends that really enjoyed it, but otherwise I probably wouldn’t have watched any after my childhood.
Now, if HBO were to do a hard R version, I’d probably get into it.

Probably Excited Delirium

But now he’s pissed off too.

I wonder how climate change will affect this area and if they’ve given any thought to that.

They’ll just start releasing one episode a week.

You never know. I’ve actually had some good luck with reaching out to public figures online. Unfortunately, I don’t have use the twatter either, though.

Fucking spot on, as usual.

Killing people is apparently 100% legal in the US as long as you use a car to do it are politically connected. Same as 90% of other countries, unfortunately.

It’s an unfortunately common, bullshit move politicians pull, just to have something to hang over each other’s heads in order to get what they want. Unfortunately, that has become totally ok in the eyes of Republican voters because it’s often the only way for their reps to force through budget items that would otherwise never make it.

What does all of this mean?

Huh?

At least in the US, funeral directors are often also embalmers.

Came here to say deathcare. Especially those without a degree or license.

Don’t get a jeep! Ours developed a heart defect 2 weeks before we paid it off. Turns out, it’s a known issue that Jeep just doesn’t care about addressing because “loyal” owners will just replace it (meaning the whole engine), and often do.

I saw something weird like that in Portland once…
This was almost 10 years back, but it’s still fairly vivid in my mind due to the apparent mysteriousness of the sighting.
It was a weekday morning, probably around 8, and I was driving home after my regular shift at the mortuary. There was a man walking on the sidewalk of a busy street in an upper-middle class neighborhood. He kinda stuck out because his outfit looked to be of high quality, expensive pieces, which kind of drew the eye, yet he also looked like a straight up Bond villain, with black pants, a black, leather, car coat type jacket, rolled-up stocking cap, and leather gloves, all topped off with Eastern European features on a serious looking face. He was also carrying full-size bolt cutters, which were tucked upwards under one arm, like he was trying to casually conceal them and hope no one noticed.
I obviously don’t know why he was carrying bolt cutters down the street like that, but I figured parking sucks in PDX, and maybe he got stuck with a shitty spot around the block from where he was either delivering a much-need tool to a friend in a pinch or doing a B&E while hunting Jason Bourne.
I only saw him for about 10 seconds as I slowly passed by while driving and, ever since, he pops back up in my mind from time to time and frustrates my thoughts with a lack of closure as to what he was actually getting up to that morning.

Yeah, the American version of the Taliban isn’t far off now.

“…the way we hear ourselves?”

It’s one chicken Michael, what could it cost, $800?

Generally requires legal advice/representation as well. But those folks are really out there helping navigate the system!
