You don’t have to see it clearly, just see it. And you can be fooled, too, by level lines that look like horizons: the corner between wall and ceiling in a room with slight contrast in paint colours can light the reflex and calm the spin. This is stone-age lizard-brain stuff so it doesn’t have to be perfect.

I think it’s the same thing that lets a chicken or an eagle track a spot while turning.

I caught a virus at college that was going around. They didn’t try to trace it but like a dozen of us who met during treatment all suffered damage to our vestibular network in one or both ears and were staggering about until this secondary thing took over full-time. The damage is permanent but this reflex thing keeps us vertical. It’s really astounding.

Blah blah both sides.

1. See who the viable¹ options are and their plans
2. Pick the least-worse option
3. Repeat

¹ can they actually get in?

I’ll outsource resistance as long as they’re doing a god job.

Make sure to put the coast guard under the DoD first, okay? Y’all need coast guard and lighthouses and search and rescue and harbour tugs and stuff, and lots of that is under DHS.

Citronella, for some.

Irish spring for me. It got in and around my molars and I tasted that for hours.

Obama I think floated an end to the shitbaggery during his second term. Like anything he proposed, it was stonewalled.

And a big part of why Kamala lost is

People don’t understand how voting between two candidates works.

Like, you do get that right?

Ironic.

Its build/install fails best practice and ISO in so many places that I simply cannot.

But thank you for sending that over. I’ve never heard of that app, and I’m grateful for the consideration.

Not a Yaml fan?

Heck no. I get paid to do a ansible in the daytime, and yaml and ansible are proof of society’s collapse; not just because they’re both so terrible, but because they are ever chosen despite the existence of so many alternatives.

To show our appreciation for a recent administrator, we tried to rename a city resource so it would be the Stephen Harper Landfill. The dumpsters could have been lit on fire in celebration of his birthday.

I don’t think the “moon landing was faked” is here anywhere?

To answer the question as written: no, you don’t (didn’t) think it was here anywhere. I’m pretty certain of my answer. Glad I could help clear that up.

Is the “they won’t let us see the tapes of the Pentagon impact” part of Steel Beams, or is it a new one so it’s tried separately? “Spotted tail numbers” too? Midnight Gold Shipments? Like, is all the 9/11 stuff lumped in under that, or are they free to be their own weirdness as long as they neither depend nor provide for an adjacent whackadoo theory?

What IS the associative rule for independent whackadoo theories ?

They do have the highest kill rate of any animal shelter group.

a dream job is make lots of money but do very little

Nope. It’s “make enough to survive and have a life outside of a job that isn’t terrible to be at”.

And it could be “make lots of indolent money” but that’s either boring or impossible, and studies show the non-sucky rewarding job is better for your well-being if you do have to work.

Face it: you’re gonna have to work. Find a job you don’t hate, that gives you enough to goof off afterward and really enjoy something and still survive. We’re edging out of boomer/x wage-slave era and one thing the millennials have is an eye for a life that isn’t defined by wealth and work, and that has prepared them the most for survival on this planet at each stage of life.

The real answer buried in the comments.

That guy’s neighbours need to chip-in for a billboard. Just with her face.

Okay. Maybe a “no justice no peace” in small print.

I’m surprised they didn’t return on “negligence causing death” or so. The bar is lower.

But he was a red-stater, so maybe that’s …okay, now?

US air travel is a fucking joke[;] it’s getting to where I’d rather take a train.

yeah. Can you imagine a rolling capsule hotel? Go to bed in Bakersfield and wake up outside of Newark as the train slows for your stop? “bing-bong… your stop, SEC-AU-CUS, is in 30 minutes. Please …_bzzt…check your bags and ensure you have everything with you when you leave. _pchkt!”

Amtrak is a joke,

Yes.

It’s shameful we don’t have a modern high speed rail network in the US.

Again, true.

and Biden should have done more about it when he had the chance.

Yeah, I’m in agreement with @NOT_RICK in that Biden was stymied by popular opinion and richbitch protest to not spend on things like infrastructure because he was too busy dumping money into the disaster-du-jour caused by chronic insufficient investment in infrastructure and healthcare … again, prevented by richbitch politicos reframing everything as "taking money out of the hands of the middle class for some boondoggle like heathcare. “Who in Louisiana or North Dakota even USES I-5, anyway?” and similar bad-faith arguments.
