Even if it’s just a gesture, those people deserve more than they got.

She’s not just on the HOA, she is the HOA.
I’m a subscriber. It’s like a customizable RSS feed with a source metric and a built in browser, which makes it nice to just have an exit out of a site completely if their ads are annoying and just go to the next independent source. Their ‘Blind Spot’ tab helps me find things I don’t normally dig for, and the curated feed I have set up for local.
It’s a nice service, but the subscription is really only paying for the convenience of being in their ecosystem, and a few good stories that slip past drudge/apnews/aljazeera.
Never asked them directly, figured they tell me if they wanted to but it never came up.
Nothing notably odd outside of their lifestyle. Neither one did drugs or drank. The VHS guy crashed in the ranch manager’s garage, which was my neighbor, so I’d chill with him and watch movie sometimes. They both had a great sense of humor.
They showed up to work on time everyday, worked hard, and just did normal stuff off-hours. No reason they couldn’t stay in one place as far as I could tell. I was 17 at the time, so I could have missed some cues, but nothing made them stand out.
We all made $5.25 under the table and got free lunch. It was a pretty good gig for a teenager and someone that didn’t care about taxes. I guess once they got enough money under their belt to move on, they did.
I’ve met two. Used to work with them on a ranch when I was a kid. Cool guys, wouldn’t live in the same place for more than three months.
One of the dudes carried around a tiny TV with a built in VHS and a handful of movies. The other guy was just heading South, I think maybe going to Mexico.
When they decided to move on they just left, no goodbyes or heads up… just gone one day.
Was just about to break into Cracking the Walnut, which is an evaluation and translation of the writings of Nagarjuna by Thich Nhat Hanh. I’ve read all that I can find translated by Nagarjuna, and excited to see things from a new perspective.
Before that was my third (failed) attempt to get through the Simarillion, and revisiting some Jiddu Krishnamurti.
I paid $230 for an open box Think v1 like five years ago, still use it everyday. I tried to upgrade to a v2, but the wife ended up with it instead.
You can get open box, unused steelcase chairs on eBay for cheaper than “gaming” chairs, BTW. There’s no reason to buy those abominations.
Kuebiko is literally a scarecrow.
I like to tell myself that these are the death throes of a dying ideology.
