Within 100 miles of the border or coast, your rights are way less.

You’re gonna end up detained no matter what you do if they want to detain you. And they’ve already disappeared plenty of people without due process.

And then RIP, because they’re gonna make your house look like Swiss cheese with all their return fire.

Unless the democracy has systemic flaws that allow it to be captured by minority rule, and that minority voting block disenfranchises enough of the opposition to take all power from the majority.

This wasn’t a democracy in anything more than name before the election.

We were just in Vermont and Burlington had a lot of no-mow zones and lots of butterfly gardens in the areas we biked.

We saw a lot of monarchs earlier (seemed more than previous years) in the summer too, but it got super dry and we haven’t seen as many lately. And also our observations are purely anecdotal and unscientific.

I worked in my college library, so no we didn’t use the Dewey decimal system.

There were “shadow bands” that looked like wavy ripples starting around then too, and for a few seconds afterward too.

But OP’s point about non-totally is pretty accurate. It’s a little chilly, a bit like overcast, and you can’t look at it without eye protection until totality.

When we were at the 2017 eclipse it was warmer and we watch the bugs come out and birds roost/land on the nearby lake.

Via Calvin and Hobbs and their Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

We also need to remember Eileen Cannon’s roll in allowing Trump to sell state secrets from his golf resort bathroom. That’s treason too, and allowing a judge appointed by the defendant to oversee that case is asinine.

The orange trees are dying from fungus anyway. Monoculture and climate change were gonna kill OJ at some point anyway. That’s why it’s coming in smaller plastic bottles for higher prices already. Right? It’s not just naked profiteering, right?

When something is fresh, and facts come out, and those involved can be questioned and provide answers, that’s usually the best time to get the truth.

It’s also when the justice department can “visit” with convicted and imprisoned witnesses and convince her to lie for her freedom.

Roberto head in the middle. Hope he’s not feeling stabby on the inflatable boat!

Must be in therapy for self esteem problems.

As if the Eulas don’t make it all arbitration?

What software company allows liability for mistakes in a EULA?

That’s NYC’s Mayor you’re thinking of.

NYs Governor was a Democratic state rep and lieutenant governor for Cuomo (which hasn’t aged well, but is nothing like that dipshit mayor Adams).

If the filament is humid enough, sure.

Wildfire smoke does make for nice sunsets. Careful outside today.

Same with Boston/Cambridge. Frustrating and sad.

When I was using Ruby (some Rails, but mostly Sinatra, for little web apps and api serving) Laravel was coming up in PHP shops. Which was just trying to be Rails running on PHP from what I could tell.

There were others before that, like CakePHP, but all I remember about that of all the bugs my coworkers dealt with. I was strictly a front end dev back then.

I think upped popcorn still might be cheaper if you have an air popper. Way purest waste plastic and you can make a huge volume of the stuff in just a few minutes.

I know a guy who filled his friend’s Saab with popcorn during a prank war back in the 90s. It kinda ended the whole thing I think, and there was always more popcorn in that poor car.
