What, with their feet?

Now who could’ve seen that one coming.

Half a million bucks to have a machine was your ass

Or…

Wash your own ass in the shower/tub you likely already have and not spend half a million bucks

Hmmmm

Its simple math: fed minimum wage is $7.25/hr. Even at a full 40/hrs a week (which doesn’t happen since they want to avoid providing healthcare), that’s $290/wk, or $1160/month, and that’s before taxes. Working your ass off, with a likely amount of physical labor, under a middle management chode on a power trip that probably has the IQ of a walnut but is good at kissing the asses of people above them while making your life miserable.

Now say you sell eighths of weed for $45, and you’re buying ounces at $200 a piece. There’s 8 eighths to an ounce, that’d $25 as a cost per eighth, leaving $20 in profit. To gross $2k/month, you’d have to sell 100 eighths, or roughly 3 eighths a day. Or, you can sell 10 eighths a day, 5 days a week, and gross $4k/month all profit. And this assumes you’re either driving around are sitting on your couch.

Yeah, no shit that math maths in favor of hanging out at home selling weed all day. And that’s just weed. There’s much higher profit in other substances. Now that said, there’s much more risk in selling weed, be it the law or getting robbed/assaulted/etc. But for some with few options, you can easily see how much more attractive that is than working a dead end retail job just to keep the lights on.

Honestly a lot of really is putting your phone/computer/whatever away and going outside. A big part of divorcing yourself from screens and tech is figuring out how to fill the gaps of time without them. And it really just boils down to discipline and practice.

My dog, who’s now 8, is very much smart enough to escape the yard. Every time I repair her escape route, she invents a new one. And every single time she gets out, after an exhaustive romp around the neighborhood, she always plops herself down on the driveway waiting for one of us to get home. I’m convinced she has discovered the purpose of our cameras, because all of her escapes in the last few years have been exclusively just out of view of the cameras.

So yeah, she isn’t breaking out of the yard to bail, it’s a multifaceted game of her breaking the rules, taking herself on a walk, and then being proud of herself for outsmarting us. But she doesn’t stray too far, because she still wants her dinner and couch cuddle time.

When was that threat made?

The difference here is that pilots are rigorously trained and go through constant continuing trainings and recertifications, while someone who wants a driver’s license effectively needs to prove they have a pulse and can read at a second grade reading level (at least here in the US). If we actually cared about road safety, we’d raise the bar for a driver’s license.

There’s a reason redundancy is huge in aviation. All of those redundancies are written in the blood of prior accidents. Same thing with signage in the military.

And year, redundancy for the person flying the plane, or at least monitoring the autopilot is probably a good idea, tough shit for the airlines that want to cut costs.

Don’t knock it till you try it! Tomato, splash of clam juice, quality tequila, cayenne pepper, regular pepper, celery salt, takin, and some veggies to munch on, it’s delicious. The clam adds a good texture and bump of flavor, but I’m also all about seafood.

Honestly I’m not a huge fan of it so I’m not entirely sure, but from what I understand it’s regular tomato juice, beer, and then some folks will add spices like tajin and spice, and often lime. I’m more inclined to use clamato (tomato and clam juice cocktail), but then I’d just go ahead and make a bloody maria (tequila).

I know in Asia mixing beer with tomato juice is somewhat common, but apple? I dunno…

Mexico too, they call it a chelada.

But beer with apple juice?

I’m willing to bet that there is some obscure scripture somewhere in either the old testament that these fucks are using to justify diddling kids. In fact, I fucking guarantee it.

It wouldn’t surprise me to discover that this is a worldwide phenomenon among the powerful and wealthy. These sick bastards just love to push boundaries and do whatever the hell they want. It’s a cancer of humanity.

It’s a recovery image, but can be used for a fresh PC install.

Perhaps it may not be a bad idea to dual boot Arch and SteamOS or BazziteOS until you get the hang of Arch. While Arch is a very flexible system, accidents happen, and it’d be a shame to lose game progress due to system breakage.

And fyi, Konsole is simply a terminal application for your command line. Personally I don’t really mess with flatpaks, and I suggest getting familiar with pacman (Arch’s package manager) and the AUR.

If you’re wealthy enough, you can do whatever you want.

I’d argue that’s more of a problem with media consolidation and not having some form of truth requirement in broadcast media. When only a handful of organizations own the majority of media outlets and aren’t held to account for their content, this is what we end up with and why we can’t have nice things.

Considering the US government is one of the largest traffickers of firearms in the world, good luck with that one.

People: stop that
US Government:

That’s pretty much it. You have state, county, local/municipal taxes and it can get pretty convoluted real quick.
