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.

If he's breathing, he's talking. Most of it nonsense, and always someone else's fault, but he just. Can't. Shut. Up.
Hey, Trump!
You had an opportunity to take the stand and defend yourself. You passed on that. The jury weighed the evidence and heard your defense teamβs arguments. Guilty: 34 counts. You were found guilty. Stop whining. Shut the fuck up.

In my case I eat a lot of fruit - daily - and I love things like shrimp and lobster. I've switched to less sweet fruits (Granny Smith apples instead of Envy or Red Delicious) and [sob] given up lobster and shrimp. Mostly. Except when I don't.
Have you ever had a gout flareup? Because that's exactly what my first one felt like, and it kept getting worse until I finally went to the doctor - who yelled at me and told me I could have caused permanent joint damage by waiting.
We're doing our best to stop it.

Hello people of the US, Germany here.
We have a bit of experience with a convicted felon and radical right-wing extremist becoming leader of our country.
Our advice: Don't do it.
It's important not to accidently write the sentence in this form: "Trump is appealing."
(I will show myself out.)
Honestly it doesn't even matter that much that it was to further his campaign. He made a hush-money payment, he disguised it as a business expense. Business fraud, tax fraud. If I remodeled my house, had my company pay for it, and deducted it as a business expense, I'd be on trial too.
I PROFOUNDLY DISAGREE with those saying itβs a βsad day for Americaβ or we shouldnβt celebrate in the streets.
WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!
This is a victory for the RULE OF LAW.
A RICH WHITE MAN has been held ACCOUNTABLE for HIS CRIMES.
Thursday was a GREAT DAY!
Lots and lots of EVs out there. Most of them built better than a Tesla.
You too can buy a Tesla, and support the main share holder Elon Musk, who abuses his social media platform to convince his 185 million followers, that the US justice system is corrupt, because his favorite criminal is brought to justice.
Or you could buy another car.
Do you have trouble communicating metric sizes to Americans?
If so, I have you covered!
I wrote this simple app where you type in a size (e.g. 1.2 meters) and it will output more useful units, e.g. "It is almost exactly the length of 7 medium-size bananas"
I freely admit I'm an "outside looking in" cis-guy, but it seems like "trans issues" are the issues created by people who have a problem with trans people. I mean, y'all just living your life and doing your best, like the rest of us, and some gomer comes in and starts telling you what is and isn't. Nobody needs that.
i swear the venn diagram of trans issues and neurodivergent issues is a just a fucking circle
- research to find a "cure" when there isn't one, nor will there ever be
- the best method of treatment involves accommodation and affirmation
- there is no single way to be either of these
y'all agree or nah?
Never mess with pediatricians
(they have very little patients)
Done. After 15+ years of driving hybrids, to reduce petrol consumption, both cars in the house are now EVs, to eliminate petrol consumption.
Next to go is the gas house heater (heat pump), gas water heater (heat pump), gas stove (induction cooktop). We installed solar 2 years ago, and generate more than the house and cars use. When we draw from the grid, we're using wind/battery stored solar. Except for plastic, we'll be fossil fuel free.
There is increasing disparity between what the public wants and what the politicians want.
The public wants litigation against #FossilFuel companies while politicians continue to approve extraction projects.
#FossilFuel companies don't just cause #ClimateBreakdown, they threaten #democracy.
Vote with your wallet as much as your ballot.

Now that the verdict is out, the right is acting predictably deplorably. But no matter! The good news around the conviction of Donald Trump far outshines their darkness. I walk through it all in todayβs piece. Check it out in the replies.
