I finally have the definitive answer to the question that's consumed philosophers throughout history: how many engineers does it take to put a shock sensor on a package?
5 of them. That's how many. And watching them through a webcam while they analyze precise locations, angles, and proximity to anything that might accidentally trip them is like watching the 3 (5?) Stooges.
Just in case anyone thought the Murdoch family's Fox "News" was even slightly chastened by having to pay >$800 million for its lies about the 2020 election, it characterized Biden as a "wannabe dictator".
If you subscribe to cable or satellite TV, or an online equivalent, you are sending money to this evil company every month.
Please cancel and tell them they show contempt for our democracy by carrying this toxic waste.

We're seeing a large influx of new users, so here's some helpful Mastodon tips:
1. Liking a post does not affect its visibility. Instead, use the like button to let a user know that you find them to be irresistibly attractive and would like to become their internet soulmate.
2. Instead of saying orthodontist on here, we say mastodontist. This is important to know.
3. Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-cannibalism" or "anti-caniballism" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.
Republicans are the party of government overreach. They want to control what you read and think, your sex life, and, if you need an abortion or are transgender, whether you can obtain necessary medical care.
Iβm with the party that wants to protect those freedoms for all of us along with the freedom to read. #ElectDemocrats
Illinois Protects Libraries From Book Bans, First of Its Kind β

This is Walter, named for Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears. Itβs a 1966 Chevy half ton pickup truck purchased for $360 by my oldest son Ryan in 2000 when we lived in Kansas. He was 14, had his learnerβs permit and had money he earned delivering newspapers and mowing lawns. I had to teach him the fine art of shifting a βthree on the tree.β After Ryan was KIA in Iraq, Walter was restored to how Ryan planned to have it done. I take it to car shows when possible because my boy would if he could.
We need to act NOW!
And, no, everything will NOT be fine...

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.
