Shit even the answer to the question re the legalities of striking a known drug smuggler in the act is 1000% illegal. Maybe if they pose a threat to a navel vessel it'd only be 99% illegal, but what do I know about admiralty law? All my flags lack fringe.

I really wish I had followed through, but I'm so very thankful that I seem to have come out of the program having made as much progress as I did. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

two 11x14 poster board in the art/rec supplies the morning of, but I c̶h̶i̶c̶k̶e̶n̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ decided being that guy in the military was half the reason I needed this level of mental health support 20 years later.

Although I did appreciate the challenge of only having two 11x14 poster boards.

I was in the first two weeks of a two month VA MST-PTSD inpatient treatment program during the June No Kings Day. I cleared it with my therapist, but I wasn't allowed to leave the VA campus so it'd have been a one Vet rally. I scoured the VA hospital gift shop for sign supplies, and ended up finding

I was married but l'm not married any more. Women don't like the vehicle.

A man leaning against the drivers side of a red Geo Metro.

The Geo Metro has had all but the front window removed, and all of the roof and support pillars cut off where the bottom of the windows had been. It looks like a convertible, or, rather, a converted as there is no roof to put up or back on. There was an attempt to make the transition more natural with bondo, but that process only went so far. Raw unpainted bondo along the edges where there used to be support pillars and glass.

There's an easy solution to that. Just make self-shot, um... So instead of... Ah shit. That's a tough one.

It's funny that the image I gave the AI to use for aged and hermited "me" could easily be any of a number of photos of my father from his 70's beared and hair phase. Lol

Now the image that the time traveling soothsayer dropped after giving me that advice (sorry, no spoilers) makes so much more sense!

When books repel indeed! I could never understand how that could come to be true, but here we are.

I provided Gemini AI a photo of myself and a supposed trail cam picture of Chihuahua that had been spotted living with a wolfpack (those photos are AI generated, FYI), and I prompted it to create this photo using the following prompt:

"Make a picture similar to the one with the wolfpack, except it's a trailcam photo of a pack of random breed rescue dogs. Also add me from the other picture, dressed and looking like a hermit that has lived in the woods as a hermit for years."

The photo is a black and white trail cam shot with a bearded person, which vaguely looks like myself wearing heavily used, sturdy clothing of the type that would hold up to hermit life, and a group of rough looking dogs to either side of the person.

Generally what was asked of the AI image generator, except that with the person and all the dogs looking directly into the camera as opposed to having been caught unaware by the trail cam. #DoBetterAI #DoYouNotKnowHowToComposeACandidTrailCamShot‽‽

Jfc! They're weaponizing books now‽‽

Time to pack it up, and take my turn being that guy no one has seen for years until some hikers report seeing a hermit in the North woods.

Since I wasn't certain if it was the statute I expected, allow me to Google it for all of us.

U.S. Code:

Whenever an indictment or information charging a felony is dismissed for any reason after the period prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations has expired, a new indictment may be returned in the appropriate jurisdiction within six calendar

appropriate jurisdiction within six calendar months of the date of the dismissal of the indictment or information, or, in the event of an appeal, within 60 days of the date the dismissal of the indictment or information becomes final, or, if no regular grand jury is in session in the appropriate jurisdiction when the indictment or information is dismissed, within six calendar months of the date when the next regular grand jury is convened, which new indictment shall not be barred by any statute of limitations. This section does not permit the filing of a new indictment or information where the reason for the dismissal was the failure to file the indictment or information within the period prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations, or some other reason that would bar a new prosecution.
