6·6 days agoI love ones that make it seems like you’re talking down to a kid
Flapjack, doof, pipsqueak, piece (as in “you piece”), dingodile, jackwagon etc.
Shit and fuck are just spicy filler words anymore so you gotta switch it up
Yes you are both correct, I’ll fix myself
Yeah, but have you seen some of our distopian level parking lots?
There was a pilrimage/challenge a friend of mine went on. It was walking 20 miles each day for 3 days for a total of 60 mi/96.5 km. That was in upstate NY where there are plenty of hills to keep it interesting
Blisters, chafing and fatigue is common but many people do that every year
My great grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe to the US. My Grandma told us about the time one of their relatives came to visit them. She remembers that he almost never took off his shoes, even when sleeping. They asked him about it and he said it was to run out the back door if the secret police came. He was amazed that nobody else in the family did the same, and then even more amazed to learn that nobody HAD to
163·10 days agoI’m not against them, but I wonder how EVs will hold up in the long haul. Like in 20 years will there even be a feasible used market or will the batteries and motors be too shitty without a crazy expensive replacements to keep them practical?
And then there’s the scrapping process for batteries too. Can batteries be refurbished, scrapped or recycled in a way that most regions can do it?
Like LEDs I know they CAN be built to last a long time, but I know companies often don’t
This is similar to how the hunger games ends. Generations of people suffered and died in the meadows where little kids could now play in peace.
In this case of the comic it’s tourists discovering a mass grave of people that used to live where they are vacationing so yeah changes the tone a bit
It’s setting the stage. It doesn’t do much on it’s own but if you recognize them as a state rather than just some people it gives leverage to use more diplomatic tools.
How much difference will it actually make? No idea.

So what would be your recommendation instead?
A lot of people use substack
Learning the manual of arms (procedure of loading, firing, unloading a type of firearm) is a YouTube video away and isn’t hard. If you can use a drill, a stapler or a nerf gun you can figure out how to make a gun go bang.
The difficult part is technique that makes the bullets go where you want them to. Shooting fast is easy, just mag dump in a general direction and you’ll eventually hit something. Shooting slowly and accurately is way more effective and responsible. Basic marksmanship takes a bit of practice to hone but anyone can do it, including you reading this.
But shooting fast AND accurate is a skill that takes consistent practice to hone and keep. That’s what makes competitons like USPSA so challenging
Reading is always good, and waay better than scrolling. Audiobooks/podcasts are also cool and if you can’t fully commit yourself to writing maybe just jot down an outline to flesh out later
This is the full context of the quote for anyone curious like I was.
TLDW is that he follows saying he prefers sympathy over empathy
Indubitably
I listened to a 99% Invisible episode on how EMS got started. Totally worth a listen
For a while (60s-70s) there was a stigma that early Paramedics couldn’t provide adequate care because they were not doctors and nurses though in reality they spent lots of time training in hospitals working with them.
You can even see this in tv shows like Emergency. Any time they have a medical situation they radio a hospital to get direct medical advice from a doctor. It also gives a (kinda) realistic reason to explain what they are doing to the viewing audience
