Yeah, two of them should be Israeli flags.

I did the dumbest thing I've ever done last fall, on a house I own but don't occupy yet. It didn't really turn cold enough for the furnace until November, when I went over the get the 40-year-old thing running again so my pipes didn't freeze. The heating system uses hot water and radiators and periodically needs to have the water flushed out to work properly. I opened the stopcocks but nothing came out right away, so I closed and re-opened them a few times and then forgot which positions were open or closed. I then went home and it turns out I had left the cocks open.

Came back the next morning to ten inches of water in the basement. I have a sump pump but I had forgotten to plug it in. Had to walk barefoot through freezing cold water to plug it back in and at least it emptied out the basement in about 45 minutes. My front yard was hilariously soaked.

Am I forgetting anybody?

Liberty Fuel lol.

I don't think there's any debate as to whether trump wrote that book or not. The only debate is over whether he ever read it.

historical accuracy in movies

It would be nice to have this occasionally.

Funny how the Supreme Court used precedents from other countries, some from before the US even existed, to overturn Roe v. Wade.

My brother spent eight fucking weeks with a constant migraine unable to walk or even stand up without falling over, before his insurance finally approved the MRI that discovered the golf-ball-sized tumor in his brain. Muigi Langione is all I can say.

There is precedent for paying for healthcare with chickens.

I just tell people what team I'm a fan of (Cleveland Browns) and they back away slowly with a look that combines horror and pity.

it might be nice to get out of this entire industry, if only I could afford to

I got pushed out of the industry right before COVID hit, so I haven't ever dealt with AI. I'm a school bus driver now, which is infinitely more satisfying than programming since I get to drive a big Tonka truck around and gaslight children all day. The only downside is making 1/6 of what I used to make so this is not really a viable alternative for most people. At least I get subsidized health insurance.

Long con setting up the Star Wars sequels.

Also, the superiority of Pabst Blue Ribbon when compared to Heineken.
