Oh no, I’m guessing very much they think Jersey City should be a village.

Why can’t we just ban bad stuff (cars) and allow cool shit (trains)?

Correction: harass and terrorize metro riders.

Send them home so everyone is safer.

I assume the mayor tried to ban speaking Spanish and has designated half the city for golf courses.

Is that the Jimmy Buffet themed San Diego suburb?

Then, now armed he resumed grilling me about my paper and I quickly agreed with all changes suggested by an armed man. 2/2

I had a prof with an honorary Finnish degree which came with sword. I discovered it when his 12 year old found the sword mid meeting meaning there was Prof, kid with poodle, kid with sword, and me in small office. Seeing the issue, he took the sword, put it on his lap, and sent out kids. 1/2

Is this a similar mix to fatbergs?

OK - pie discourse - best pie story:

In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*

The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

I got offered BNPL pay in 4 for a bottle of aldi wine.

My decentralized building methodology its parts scattered all over the disaster site.

True crypto market collapse.

My speech and debate team conducted all gossip in the form of Jane Austin references which forced me to do a lot of reading to find out who had a crush on who.

Blocks chained together to form a blockchain isn't the worst pun.

My preferred blockchain is where you chain a block to the leg of a snitch and toss them into Lake Michigan.

It sounds like he isn’t using mortar which means it’s going to have bad thermal/waterproofing/insulation properties.

Adding mortar to that looks like pain to get right and avoid air holes and other weak points.

Oh boy, this is going to be funny:

Yeah, isolation from realties of society feels like the core product. The middle class conformity seems to be, no poors, no <slurs>,…

Right now on reddit there's a guy inventing a new kind of brick to build his home with and it's going about as well as you can imagine

I have 6 gloves, how many match?

Fing zero.

I swear everyone leaves the OCC with a list of banks they do not trust. Not based on material information but on how annoying/dumb they are.

Used to work at the OCC and oh boy do you sometimes find very dumb shit. Every business cycle comes up with a new way of pretending bad loans are good and that their subprime product isn’t shit.

Oranges are so cuddly. Mine is currently under the blanket on my legs.

I saw @hodgman.bsky.social there. Its great!

Implants are big enough to be easy but its worse than deboning to deal with fillers.

If you have a problem with trans women, trans men, or trans people of any make or gender, then you got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate

I sometime write mystery games set in IRL so I have a lot of search for things like "How does money get to banks?", where are large cash depots in London?" or "Do alligators eat human corpses?"
