Texas passes law which requires public schools to display The Ten Commandments of the Christian Bible in every classroom with a font size readable from every seat.
β In a country founded on religious freedom and the separation of church and state. Wow!

He invented the DOJ, you know.
@lednabm @pixelpusher220 @ScottSoCal @LikeItOrLumpIt π itβs seriously ridiculous, theyβre just destroying their auto for no reason π
Making love at midnight in the dunes on the Cape is over-rated. That sand gets *everywhere*.

They don't think about that. My car is a hybrid, braking slowly charges the battery and lets me drive longer on electric power without burning any gas. So go ahead, get to that red light before I do. I'll adapt.
@ScottSoCal @enoch @LikeItOrLumpIt @lednabm I used to commute in a hybrid that let me solo use the single left HOV lane on I-66 in DC/VA.
As normal rush hour traffic would rubberband from 60 to 0 to 60, I would just set my cruise at 35-40. Since it was single lane, wasn't a worry of ppl continuing to cut in front.
Holy Smoky were ppl pissed off. I'm like you can *see* the stopped traffic up ahead right? Im literally saving you gas (and brake wear)!
@ScottSoCal @pixelpusher220 @enoch @LikeItOrLumpIt
And spend money having to replace their brake pads more often....

I always get a chuckle from the people who race around me so they can get to the red light 1.5 seconds before I do.
@enoch @LikeItOrLumpIt @lednabm always a car seat happy dance when an asshole driver who passed me ends up pulled over on the shoulder
Too many cities in the US would see this as a revenue loss, from tickets that aren't written.
She's terrifying. If she was carrying a book, I might have had a heart attack.
If he'd stolen it from poor kids with cancer, he could have skated. The way TFG's crotchfruit did.
My shadecloth experiment is working beyond my wildest dreams!
It's 1) grippy enough for ramps that an old rat can climb 2) easy to clean and 3) not tempting for them to chew.
I built a big spiral ramp all the way up the cage. The central atrium, as it were, is filled with many shadecloth safety nets to catch silly old buggers who like falling off edges of said ramps.
The younger rats still climb up the sides, or race round in a big spiral, so they have more running space which is great.
I made a small heated space for Maurice, and as you can see he's found the warmest spot which is actually just *above* the warm box.
Today, after his breakfast, I bundled him into the black plastic penthouse bed right into the top of the cage which he can't reach even with the ramps. You can't see him in the picture, he's underneath Jasper, the handsome young fellow with the whiskers.
And they said nothing while it was happening - they're only speaking up now. He got carte blanche for 4 years, with sycophants kissing his ample ass the whole time. Now they're saying they didn't like the smell.
I'm not feeling any less hostile toward them.

True - they're still categorically against high journalistic standards, just as they were before.
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.
