The mosquito likely evolved to try, but the body evolves to defend just the same. Your irritation is your own body’s immune response after all.

“Federation”? Wtf is this, star trek!?

36 hours of work through the weekend. I’ll try to sneak my guitar when it’s slow and organize my To-Do list that’s a mile long.

Realistically I’ll probably just doomscroll and get into political arguments…

More hilarious when considering the US Military is an inherently socialist institution.

My sister and brother-in-law will go to the commissary, stay on base housing, get their paycheck from the US Govt., receive public Healthcare, and the GI Bill, then promptly go home and post on Facebook about how socialism bad.

Do you store any chemicals or new building materials in there whatsoever?

Chlorine does this to my feet when I open the container to add more to the pool. It’s heavier than air, so wafts out of the container then “spills” over onto my shoes, causing a reaction with the moisture on my skin. Much healthy :))

And 100% reason to remember the benadryl.

Family. That’s all. Use the remainder of my money to help fulfill some bucket list items for my parents, wife, siblings, and my kids. Try to write as much as I can and record as much as I can for my kids. Impart any wisdom I possibly can.

When you’re paintballing so hard you almost die. This is something I can appreciate.

Brings back good memories of playing woodsball. That shit is more taxing than people realize!

Strict Scrutiny is highly praised. I’ve only heard them as guests on other shows though.

2-3 days. Where we used to live in the mountains we’d loser power half a dozen times during the winter. Kind of enjoyed it. Everything slowed down, you hunkered down, and appreciated lost activities.

Still, we were never really without all power as my dad could run some appliances off his welding machine acting as a generator.

In line with this, I love my carbon steel wok and pans.

Could you refill these with methane / biogas from an anaerobic digester? I assume you’d need a specialized compressor.

One of my favorites. Crazy film that spans such a wide range from goofy to tragic.

NES: The Legend of Zelda

Sega: Primal Rage

PS1: Vigilante 8 (close second Medal of Honor)

Xbox: Morrowind (my first experience with both this genre and open world), followed by Halo CE

Pretty much stopped with consoles and stuck with PC thereafter.

I noticed you kind of hop-skipped past the whole down-ballot races thing, didn’t ya?

You know. The California races that in the end decided who won the House? Sure hope their district had absolutely zero relevance whatsoever lol.

Forgetting the fact that they seemed vocal enough in trying to stop others from voting for Harris, too. But I’ll eat my words if they can link a comment of theirs where they advised battleground voters to support Harris.

lol when did I ever say you were a Republican? This is indicative of a broader education issue quite possibly.

haha!

Trump says, “Finish the job” to Bibi while transferring the embassy to Jerusalem and you think you’re going to get more results with Trump than Harris? Even if at best the same, as the Venn Diagram proves, it’s deeply illogical. You drank the online Russian vodka and now more Palestinian blood is on your hands.

(Forgetting the obvious fact that you’ve got Ukrainian blood on your hands now, too, since Ukrainians also wanted Harris over Trump)

The kids want to “fight fascists! >:(” but can’t bother educating themselves on the issues enough to realize they’ve fallen for the classic — textbook even — BoTh SiDeS fallacy that is peddled every election cycle.

Not true. People like you contributed to giving Trump the popular vote and a broader mandate, leaving aside down-ballot Congressional races.

By the way is this you in this picture?

In a way, you too are now complicit in exacerbating genocide.

Ok but I just want to clarify before we valiantly and romantically take the fight to fascists…

… Did you muster the courage to vote for Harris, return2ozma?

I appreciate your actually unpopular opinion. Should be noted since you brought him up that even Warren Buffett says he has too much money and that he and billionaires like him should be taxed more heavily to the benefit of society.
