I don't know if it's still a thing in the digital age, but having even just a few seconds of dead air back in the analogue broadcast days could mean that "silence detectors" all over the country would start going off and radio engineers everywhere would think there was some kind of problem with their station. So there had to be talking, music, something at pretty much all times.
If you wanted intentional silence you could play comfort noise in the background.
Alaska's DUI law specifically mentions a motorized vehicle. So you probably couldn't get a DUI on a horse, in a carriage, or with a dog sled, but if they were pulling your car with dogs then you might. The law doesn't specify the motor be on, or functional, just that it be a "motor vehicle".
I guess it would come down to the jury on that one.
A "carriage house", in the backyard of some rich couple who were the landlords. I split it with a buddy. Open holes to the outside that we patched with duct tape. The entire thing listed to one side. It smelled like mold. Zero insulation or climate control of any kind. Landlord still stole food from our fridge when we were away.
There's a ton of these where I live. Probably the most common tick, actually. They are extremely aggressive, especially in the fall. The larva is so small you can't even tell they're not a fleck of dirt until they move. So many of them can get on you at once I describe it as a "plume" of ticks.
Trimming trails doesn't seem to prevent them from crawling across open ground climb on. I wouldn't know it if I was allergic to mammal meat, but I've heard people having reactions to gelatin pill capsules and other sneaky things.
It sucks, but the alternative is I don't experience the outdoors, so it's just something to deal with and plan for. All my clothing is treated with permethrin. I'm basically in "tick mode" any time I'm walking around except in the dead of winter.
Can you imagine? It's probably like the inside of Vincent D'Onofrio's mind in The Cell.
At this point let's just go back to manually using command line GPG/PGP.
Trans people are vulnerable, that's it. You did nothing to deserve it.
When I was a kid I remember being at the zoo during feeding time for gorillas. The zoo keeper was chucking sweet potatoes and other things into the pit. Two gorillas were sitting next to each other, a big one and a small one. The big one got hit on the head with a sweet potato and immediately responded with violence onto the smaller gorilla next to him.
Gorillas are smart, there's no way he thought that the small gorilla was responsible for the yam to the head. But he couldn't attack the one throwing potatoes. That other gorilla was vulnerable and accessible. That's all. I think about that a lot.
Also, same gorilla enclosure where Harambe would be killed years later. It's like "come to Cincinnati, see our pit of cruel metaphor!"
Cops can ignore. Prosecutors can decline. Judges can "sentence" to unconditional release.
The people can nullify.
Same thing happened with honey. Suddenly Vietnam's honey exports magically increased to more than their domestic production. Of course nobody cared because it's all theater.
Wait, it's all just Arthurian legend? 🌍👨🚀🔫👨🚀
Happens to some SE Asians in North America too, because the edible straw mushroom from SE Asia resembles one here called "death cap". Amanita phalloides. What's fucked up is right before it kills you your symptoms actually improve, so people get discharged from the hospital and think they are going to be ok. I forage mushrooms but I stay away from white gilled mushrooms completely.
I liked his little telescopic pointer.
