Walking the dogs, have to cross quite the stream of water flowing along the curb (neighbor seemingly pumping water out of their pool via a ~3"/76mm hose) • Little dog: DGAF, romps directly through the stream of water • Big dog: *Very* concerned, carefully jumps over the water

> and still be considered to be oh-so-righteous The mask has been off for years. These MF'ers no longer believe in anything other than power for its own sake; their "morality" (also laws, logic, rules, procedures, norms) exists primarily to be imposed on their adversaries.

“ The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side. ” (attributed to Hunter S. Thompson but the original quote isn't quite so pithy)

I have since sent the rest of the Mythe down the Trinity river because that mouthwash aftertaste is lingering despite efforts to purge it with saltines and vodka

The Hanjan may well be acceptable to connoisseurs; I grabbed it in error because of a shelf label describing it as soju - my fault for not reading the label. But it tastes of sake and even in my weeb-adjacent days I could not acquire a taste for it.

The Mythe has a lingering aftertaste of mouthwash that persists. Unwantedly. The vague tale of provenance on the back label perhaps should have been a tell along with the clear bottle. Its color has changed over time from chlorophyll green to pond-scum brown-green.

A neighbor has an occasional houseguest that drives a vehicle with a loud exhaust (OFC they rev that thing through the neighborhood) and is a fan of music easily summarized as BOOM BOOM BOOMBOOMBOOM. I too wish their vehicle would cease to exist on occasions when it graces me with its presence.

My (so very wrong) reaction to every social media post, truck selfie, impassioned personal plea to Trump complaining about economic hardship (inflicted by Trump) where the opening stance is unflinching support for Trump or blanket refusal to vote Democrat: DADDY IS JUST GOING TO HURT YOU AGAIN

Relatives of mine used to attend regularly. Got an invite to go shortly before it transformed into its present juggernaut that I declined. I will always wonder what it would have been like despite my disinclination towards all things art.

I don't feel bad for Flock, but I fear the laser-focus on Flock misses the larger surveillance-industrial complex. And whatever replaces them will be both better-integrated/concealed than Flock with the same lack of oversight and accountability.

In my burg - both on the same lovely stroad within a mile of one another. Due to an unforgiving economy seeing an uptick in pedestrians and micro-mobility on infrastructure designed almost exclusively for automobiles.
View from an arterial road at a closely-parallel residential street with a ~1m high iron fence separating their respective sidewalks; closest access to the arterial road requires a several-hundred meter detour.  There's an elementary school directly across the arterial from this perspective which neighborhood children surely attend. This is depressingly common across the DFW area.Access to this shopping center requires walking along the unpleasant arterial street and crossing driveways and into vehicle lanes not well-designed for pedestrians - as such motorists are unaccustomed to seeing them.  This situation abounds across the DFW area - hard walls or fences along the perimeter of retail funneling pedestrian access to corners and making walking/riding routes along residential streets (when they route predictable) infeasible.

Been following Slate since the announcement. They're likely to beat the Ford Fathom to the market with an approach about 180° out of phase and seem to be leaning heavily on fleet users. Hard to say how they'll do but I genuinely wish them well.

If diesel stays high I suspect there's going to be a run on max pack Silverado EVs which I gather are a sleeper hit in the hotshot segment because of their lower operating costs vs diesel

Industrial approaches to CCS ala DAC are insanity. We're at ~400ppm CO2 and want to get to ~300 which would mean scrubbing *all* of the carbon out of 25% of the atmosphere.

Going zero carbon worldwide is a pipe dream since no one wants to live at ~1850 levels of per-capita energy consumption

Aye. It's so stupid. Decades ago we should have ended investment in fossil fuel and transitioned over to carbon-free energy sources as the infrastructure went EOL. But political patronages and a public easily persuaded by propagandal.
