I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.

I think because I used a mailing address? I changed it to my residence and it seems all right. Just weird it wasn’t a problem for years even up to March or whatever for the primary. I wasn’t notified or given a reason.

Double check that you are registered. I found out last week that I had been kicked off the list after receiving ballots for years without a problem.

DrawExpress is very intuitive to use on a phone, but the files may not be editable in other software. It exports as SVG, PNG, or pdf.

This reminds me of the time, in college, when a Christian fellowship leader gave us all a list of alternatives to sex, including

1. Passing chocolate from mouth to mouth
2. Naked wrestling…

The map from the third is the “circumstances” of the first two. Or the “results”. First two just theorists, I guess.

But, that’s sperm, right? Half the chromosomes, like an egg, only motile.

Laying the groundwork for post election

We need orphan technology program like for orphan drugs. I can’t imagine it would be very costly to keep this one woman’s device running, but it does take someone somewhere being responsible for it.

Maybe this is normal, but I just learned last week that in Washington, if a candidate has lost the open primary they cannot be a write in candidate.

Don’t wear your investment on your sleeve

Greek autopsia “a seeing with one’s own eyes,”

So I guess it works regardless of species. Though I’m not sure I believe this. Like how else did ancient Greeks see?

This was Catholicism. He’s a smart guy and I’m pretty sure he figured it out. Did not become a priest, though, so maybe his mom was right.

I don’t see anything in the Biden bill about deporting people who have been living in the US for any amount of time. It seems to be all about quickly turning around new migrants during “surges” and changes to the way new cases are handled. I’m not saying I support the bill, but it does not seem to be a mass deportation bill. Tell me if I’m wrong.

My grandma in the 30s had to hide all evidence of menstruation from just one of her two younger brothers, the explanation being he was intended for the priesthood. I’m not saying it makes sense.

Except I think it’s interesting this was not generalizable. The Spanish were looking for people, just different people at first. Cortez for example landed and immediately “employed” hundreds of native people to come up with some wealth to pay off the exploration debt. The friars were specifically there to convert people to Catholicism.

The British puritans were looking to build their personal Utopia, but the Spanish and others, it seems to me, were looking for a populated colony from the start.

True, though, bushtits are ferocious.

6,000 Costco customers have signed a petition saying they will cancel their membership if the retailer starts selling the pills.

That’s not very many-- how do we sign up on the other side?

I saw a local one advertised on nextdoor and I went to the site because there are rules for advertisers on that app and I wanted to complain. It is exactly as I’d heard-- telling people there’s no reason to be seen quickly and will not be given appointment within two weeks, calling themselves a clinic but no statement of any medical service. But they said so little about what they actually do that I couldn’t find any good grounds for complaint to the app as also the app’s own content categories, “health” or something, was too vague to be considered misleading. I complained anyway that they were promoting pseudo medicine and political activity, but didn’t get a reply.

The fact is human lives are being culled right now and will be increasingly over the next decades by the rapid changes coming to the environment and the scarcity fears, looting, and displacement that follows. Even if you choose to ignore the deaths that aren’t in the West, as if they aren’t related to your current quality of life, soon enough you will start to see the destruction right in front of you.

What activists are saying is that a lot of this death can be avoided if those in power, corporately and governmentally, are willing to do more than is legally or traditionally required of them. This takes more willpower than the average politician or CEO can muster on their own and this is where activists work to put pressure on one side of the equation and the enthusiasm of the people on the other to drive the radical decisions that are needed to confront the crisis.
