So the fun thing about genetics is… if you said no, but they conned enough of your family, they got a good part of your genome anyhow.

In my case, Mom was somewhat interested about it when it came out. Dad too. And i told them no to, because, well one, sharing data bad. But also, this buisiness is a one off. There are no repeat customers and it was destined to be sold to the highest bidder.

For once, my parents listened. But good god. This company has already been mined by police to use genetic info from relatives to convict their family members. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/27/magazine/dna-test-crime-identification-genome.html

Murder convictions and serial rapists going to jail, i got no problem with, but that slippery slope exists. And from years of experience, im not inclined to give the authorities my data, even by proxy. The abuse potential is immense and history is not on the average citizens side.

Refurbished s21fe here. Im not buying flagships anymore. I will never make full use of the capabilities of this phone.

Now, when it hits sub $300. Maybe im interested then.

My closest superstore an hour drive away. 60 miles. The closest grocer is 12 miles. My closest international airport is 1.5 hours away. It is also the closest regional airport. 85 miles. The closest national park is 3 hours. I live 6 miles from my closest town.

There are no passenger trains, busses, or taxis. Or uber.

Rural america is empty. And spread out. We get along fine, but public transit will never exist here. Cars are the only way.

Dragon ball is huge in latin america because they were the first to get dubs in their language, in a time where spanish dubs for any cartoon were very underserved. Usa airwaves were saturated with animation for kids. Latin america had to buy rights because there was very little home grown production.

They also got the dubs way way sooner than viewers in the united states.

Right time and right place, and it snowballed from there.

Please support Elevated Access in any way you can. Even if you are not a pilot or know jack shit about general aviation, you can help. Donate to them or reach out and drive a friend to a local ga airport. Its probably outside of your hometown. Ill land on a dirt strip to help.

I personally fly for them. Many pilots in texas do. We can cross state borders to get texas women the care they need and deserve. Colorado or new mexico doesnt have to be a ten hour drive. Ken Paxton and his ilk want to shut down the state highways to stop pro choice in Texas, but they cant stop federal airways.

Ive got s sneaking suspicion why… but after cnn reports on it… why would you bother?

Im not saying that this move makes it more incriminating but… Wait. that does make it more incriminating. What was i thinking?

What a dumbass.

Thermite is considered less lethal than napalm and phosphorus. Its fairly direct too. It only lights up what it is dropped on. It can burn up cover and leave the troops under it fairly unharmed. Another example of Ukraine fighting with one hand tied behind their back, but still making due with what works.

On top of that, its super easy to make. Its just rust iron oxide and powdered aluminum. You can make it at home with a file and some old pipes.

Theres a metaphor there somewhere…

And they have processes in place to make sure you wouldnt be on that jury.

Vocal knowledge of jury nullification is grounds for dismissal.

Prior intent to nullify is basically perjury. Now you are both in jail

See, the system works! /s

Shit, this winter, for 3 days strait, i got ads with literal swinging dicks and full on penetration. Reported ads, and moved on. After day three, i deleted the app and only launched from a sandboxed browser with an ad blocker.

Now, i only open it for the marketplace. The place was cancer anyhow, but that was just too much.

Your right. Shes not left enough… might as well vote for trump or skip.

Seriously though. Are you paying attention? We dont get the perfect candidate now.dont shoot yourself in the foot. You’re already a locked in voter i assume. If trump was 50/50 with biden, what makes you think he loses with us nit picking? Shes right of biden? Guess who is more right from that. Hope for whitmere or aoc as vp if your feathers are that ruffled. Newsom if you really want. But kamala is the ticket and whining about it loses the election.

Ok. But fuck, if you have to have a cop out, waffle house excuse to say newsom, i have a hard time believing you. Newsome is hard for the fact that hes a “hard D” california govenor and you take a good hit in the swing states. Thats a real liability. Thats fair. Stand by it. Say that. “But Bernie” my ass. Bernie doesnt want it now.

Dont say “oh no” and not have an honest opinion that you arent willing to put your nuts behind. Get on board, or gtfo.

I swear. As a dem, and ill be honest, what pisses me off the most is that we are our own worst enemy. We waffle and push for a vauge replacement with no game plan, and bitch and moan when the answer given “just isnt quite what we want”.

We could have had an honest to god game plan a year ago. But we didnt get our shit together. Thats on you, thats on me, and its sure as fuck on the DNC. But we dont have that option now.

Fucks sake. Rant over. Sorry for being frustrated at a two word post and a half baked response. Fuck.

Ok. Fine… who would you pick?

There is a reason for her being the transition cannidate. If you have better, please let the DNC know…

Gotta correct for wind…

This just in: “kids are assholes, but this is the first time they have been assholes in this manner”

Some of yall have clearly never been around teenagers. They are ruthless no matter how well you raise them, and their groupthink is capable of moving literal mountains if directed in the right direction.

As dumb as it sounds, mutually assured destruction does have the perk of keeping everyone from using nukes. If modern countermeasures prevent that, it isnt a deterrent anymore. Updating these nukes improves the likelihood we dont have to use them.

Relevant example: russias tanks. They are outdated and weren’t adequately improved over decades. and are now getting wrecked by consumer grade drones and guys with while fancy, in all honesty, second grade hand me down rocket launchers. Before we knew this fact, they were a reasonable deterrent to not fucking with russia. Now, not so much.

No shit. Wasnt the f35 total lifetime costs supposed to exceed 2 trillion?

Less moving parts and associated personel in nuclear silos and a big bomb. Absolute steal.

That being said, war is bad. But nukes are M.A.D.

Cant stop the laws, but there are people helping to get individuals the treatment they need. Check out elevatedaccess.org

Bring back grumman!

Oh no… but anyways. Anyone got anything interesting happening this week?
