man we are all gonna end up in Gain Ground

Sounds like a fuckin banger of an existence

Why does everyone in the US card everyone over something ostensibly about age?

It’s never been about age.

I’ve seen a seventy year old man with a foot long white beard get carded and refused, while he was stone cold sober.

Do you think he can’t handle his liquor? He’s seventy. He knows what it does.

There’s a lot of bars/restaurants that do.

I have literally been refused service because the only ID I had is a passport, and those barcodes wouldn’t scan into their system.

It’s Papers, please, and it’s fucking bullshit

I’m 1000% against this age verification bullshit, not only because of the privacy and data reasons, but also because getting carded in a bar or at a store is also bullshit.

It Is Papers, please.

It’s Never a question of if you’re old enough, it’s a question of “Do I think you’re human enough?”

And more often than is reasonable, the answer is no, they don’t think you’re a person, who should be able to spend their money as they like.

Incredible.

When my drill bits are super, super dull, they make smooth triangles. Like triangular shaped holes, with no true points or flat edges. If I get crooked while laying on it and drilling (not uncommon with a dull-ass bit) two lobes will stand out more clearly than the side I’m not leaning towards.

Not hexagons, and sure as hell not cones.

Now if they’re sharp, it’s just a fucking hole. Circular. Like they’re supposed to be

Buy me new drill bits. for science

Seeing the chart that was posted from it, only if you’re approaching it from a really wealthy perspective. Keep in mind this is for literally every human on the planet-many of whom are sharing and still starving.

You don’t need a stove and oven and microwave and toaster and air fryer and induction cooktop and two and a half cars per person and the bicycle you don’t use or the exercise equipment and the slap chop and the ninja or the fucking second fridge in the garage where you keep all the sports equipment that’s degrading every day into uselessness that never gets you know, used. God forbid you share with your neighbors. They might have cooties. Have to buy your own shit, brand new, full retail, with the bullshit insurance package

I’ve been living on my bicycle for a few months now, and honestly. What a single person actually needs is so vanishingly small it’s disgusting we let anyone go hungry or cold.

It’s odd that schools and hospitals are listed by area and not capabilities though. I don’t give a shit if it’s a golf course sized hospital, I want them to have supplies, equipment, and people trained to properly use them.

Too hard to put an easy number on? What stats are disparate in a plastic surgery suite vs an inner city gunshot wound floor? Tbh, I’d rather be treated at the latter, they’ve had more practice

On one hand, thanks for finding it?

On the other, OC here ain’t wrong

Lol

Bravo

Used to legit be sold for exactly that, but when you got to your ‘ideal weight’ you wrote them for the second set of pills-a dewormer.

Lol

TAPEWORM

Where’s the video?

So, the articles are old, but chlorin e6 mixed with insulin and DMSO in saline gives a temporary boost to nightvision.

Sounds fucking awesome, and the ingredients all seem fairly easy to acquire. No commercial product, but why would there be?

National currencies ARE fiat currencies.

Like the Chinese have been fixing the value of their currency to the dollar, and the federal reserve does exactly that thing where they inflate it at will. Or keep it at zero, and the rest of the corporations inflate it nowadays. Whichever.

Either way, it’s a scam. And I’m not saying the gold standard was a great idea either. It worked at the time, i guess? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. This fiat currency situation seems possibly workable, but I haven’t seen it doing so. At least not for anyone who isn’t already in the club.

The value of money is all made up bullshit anyway, can we at least get some healthcare out of it? Maybe some roofs? Food?

I like my friends not starving or freezing to death.

Ah, typical human problems that disrupt regular power generation is somehow specific to solar?

Nah, wars and climate change fuck with the grid already, just ask texas. Or north carolina. Or palestine.

And panel degradation is wildly over exaggerated.

My old as fuck mono crystalline panels (I have owned for ten years, and they were outdated when I got them) still kick literally 99% of their sticker rated juice. Even when dirty. They’re dirty right now. I’m not bothering to clean them, cuz they still kick every volt they say they will.

They also literally produce all of the electricity my entire household needs.

SOLAR IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO ADMIT

And yeah, I probably pwned your ass at fortnite or rocket league or something

On solar power

Bitch

My battery powered router is smarter than your bullshit

When I’m camping I take a memory foam mattress topped with a sheepskin.

Which is what we were sleeping on during that story.

Which is approximately 10,000% more comfortable than any cot I’ve ever used

Eh, I’ll say it.

National currencies are a scam. No pyramid needes

Why don’t you save All the money you’ve earned?

If I didn’t eat, I’d have money to burn!

Don’t let a couple kooks spook you.

If you’re rough on your body, they can be an absolute godsend.

I’m at the point where I can’t always get my skeleton to go back to where it ought to be, and a good chiro can find exactly which bones aren’t.

Last one I went to was during a bicycle tour. The campsite wasn’t ideal, and I awoke not being able to look left. Like at all. Turn to the right, ow that hurts, try to turn left, head stops straight forward, sharp spike of pain and no further movement.

Well whatever. Break camp, mount up, ride a couple miles. Now I’m warm and loose, right? Do some stretches. Go through as much of the routine as I can, get some pops and creaks, but still can’t turn my fucking head. Slightly better.

Pedaling like this is a fucking bastard, because it’s not just my neck, I’m all fucked up, but the road lies ahead and we go.

Get into town some hours later, have some lunch, a couple beers, still can’t move for shit, see a sign for a chiro. Guy does walk-ins, thank god. Gets what we’re doing, says ‘well, I’m never gonna see you again, so I’ll do the best I can in one go’

I think that motherfucker popped every goddamn vertebrae in the whole spine, and some of em twice.

Felt like a new man. Finally felt those beers. Rest of the tour went fine
