@ScottSoCal In this case Iβm just quoting but yes I always refer to them as MAGAts. They are disgusting and slimy.
Iβm a blue dot in South Carolina and Iβm probably going to be banned from NextDoor. These people are fucking idiots. This whole Chinese ballon thing got them so hysterical. In the fall, I got put in timeout until after the election. MAGAt mods.
When I was about ten, my mom asked me to vacuum, but I absolutely hated that chore so I lied and told her I vacuumed only for her to call me out on it because there weren't any βvacuum tracksβ on the carpeting.
From that day forward, I got sneaky and I would drag the vacuum around the carpet while it was turned off just to get it to generate the tracks so my mom would think I had vacuumed.
It wasnβt until an embarrassing amount of years later when I realized I could have just turned on the vacuum and ACTUALLY vacuumed because I was doing the same amount of work (if not more) with absolutely ZERO cleaning benefit because I was seriously the dumbest child imaginable.
I prefer to call them MAGAts. It just trips off the tongue.
βHalf the country.β MAGAts think they are half the country.
And for the life of me, I donβt understand why they object to being called MAGA Republicans. They are Republicans and they are MAGA. Why are we discussing bending to their wails and gnashing of teeth? They proudly identify as such. This is weird and I canβt believe itβs a thing.

Lost 25 tanks? Well, Putin is getting senile, I guess losing things is inevitable. If he's not careful he could lose Russia.

@ScottSoCal yep! And yet, look at it flourish in Summer. I need to take some inspiration from the bendy tree :)
In 2021, my house used an average of 23.4KWh of electricity per day. Last October I installed a 10KW solar setup on my house, and I'm planning to switch out natural gas water heater and furnace to heat pumps that use electricity. The days are still short, and I'm not producing as much as I will in the summer, but yesterday - WOOHOO!

The VC people built their houses to have backup generators and whole-house battery systems. They're not being affected. They don't care about anyone else.
Talking to friends in Austin who are enduring yet another large-scale catastrophic infrastructure failure, and Iβm wondering if any of the shitbird VCs who were encouraging everyone to move to Texas have yet noted that the policy regime theyβre so fond of is harming so many people, so consistently.

More of a Russian spy Barbie. Pushaw is cheap, plastic, and bad for the environment. Whatever environment, she's bad for it.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
