I thought exactly the same…

Drink 2 of those a day and you’re up to pack a day smoker levels of frivalous spending! Then again, I’ve seen people drop that much on a glorified chocolate milk at Starbucks…

Always on the lookout for new irrational fears!

Canned, already brewed coffee from a company called Snapchill.

Looking at their site, a 6-pack is $30… No thanks…

Except this wasn’t done by the democrats… Literally the first sentence of the article.

A Republican-led effort to block one of President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief programs in court has succeeded just days before it was set to go into effect.

You’re voting for the people who just put your head on the chopping block…

Hey idiot… It’s called a student visa and all of the people I know who were here on one got their green cards shortly after graduating. That’s not some new genius idea… It’s how the system is meant to work…

Gonna leave a bit of advice for any young folks that might see this. Something I wish to god someone had told me when I was 20.

Start an annuity plan. They’re generally stable, all but guaranteed to accrue money. You can set a percentage of your paycheck to be deposited automatically into the account. If you have the option to do this through your employer, do it, find out if they match the deposit like mine. Put 10% of your paycheck in there. After 10 years, I have $40,000 sitting in a retirement account with a progressive series of bonds set to mature in between now and my retirement age. Those bonds will roll back into shorter term bonds as they mature, and add more value to the account. My projected retirement age is still 72, but at least I know that money is there.

Also, after 4 years, the account matures and you’re able to borrow against it, like collateral for a loan. So if I wanted to right now, I could take that money and use it as a down payment on a house. I’ll be expected to put it back, but the interest is generally lower than a home owner’s loan.

It’s also important to check your registration now and then too. When my wife and I got married and moved, I went to vote in my new district and found that someone had illegally changed my party affiliation to Democrat.

Details for checking and changing your registration can be found here and here.

Same, I have to use a VPN every night at work because Comcast doesn’t allow Parsec on their public wifi. Haven’t had an issue in the years I’ve been doing it.

Guessing either the VPN is shady or the IP was already banned from other people doing bad stuff. That I do have happen once in a while with Google, “We’ve detected malicious traffic on this IP address, blah blah blah.”

At what point is someone going to say enough with her crazy bullshit and expel her for disorderly behavior? Pretty sure enough people are fed up with her to get a two-thirds…

Call me when they bring back something good like Dweebs or PB Crisps

Like the movie Jaws, “When do I get to be an islander?”

“Never, you’re not born in the late 40s to mid 60s, you’ll never be an adult.”

We may as well call ourselves the Peter Pan generation.

Somebody tell this clown to shut up.

Reading them say that “Trump is the victim” and “There is no crime.” Absolutely disgusting… The jury better convict him, because I don’t think I can stand to see his smug, shit eating grin after yet another injustice…

That’s still super cool! Thanks for sharing!

I got to see them here once, with all the city light pollution coming from north of me, all I could see was a faint flickering haze. If I didn’t know what I was seeing, I would have just dismissed it. It all depends on the conditions. The pics my buddy out west sent me last night from his phone were faint, and he said he couldn’t see anything otherwise. His mom a few miles away got much more vivid colors, with visible bands. They’re out in the country though.

And of course… Now it’s sunny and beautiful, clouds are gone. Another flare fired off this morning and it looks like the storm may keep up through the weekend. Hopefully the weather holds tonight and we get a good show.

And my area has nothing but storms and clouds for the whole weekend…

Well… It does have electrolytes…
