I accidentally flew with 4 inch long OLFA razor blade refills in the bottom of my laptop bag 4 times, twice around the Boston Marathon bombing, from and to Boston.

I didn’t find them until cleaning out my bag at home after the last flight. Basically some tape could make them into box cutters like the 9/11 guys supposedly used.

But I had to take off my shoes and belt every time, to feel safe.

I helped run a Kickstarter where one of our rewards was Mac and PC software on custom USB sticks.

It was 5°F (-15°C) out. She would stand up and turn away when I opened the door to let her in. Then lay back down to watch us from outside after I closed it. The snow was so deep that The wind chill -5–10° probably wasn’t really affecting her at least.

They have the badminton rackets for knocking apples out of a wild apple tree across the field. We made a surprisingly tasty apple crisp with instant oatmeal and some vutter on the fire that night.

The Trump team thought he was gonna pull more votes from the Dems. But it turns out he was mostly the same kind of crazy as the Trumpets and was at best splitting the votes evenly. Then Harris showed up and now that even vote split could doom Trump.

He also didn’t have the stress that would come from actual failure with no money.

Bankruptcy, homelessness and real poverty fuck up your ability to succeed in a vastly underrated way.

Yup lawyers who take these kinds of cases that are easy wins, do it on contingency. If they don’t think you have a good case they tell you, and then charge you hourly.

If you owe the bank half a billion dollars, it’s the bank’s problem right?

Sounds like the banks don’t want this problem.

Since they were only given 1/3 of the budget, they should announce that they’ll only be removing lead from low income districts (which the Republicans have red-lined into being largely black neighborhoods). See if fomo changes their minds.

Maybe she should resign then. We’d all be happy to let her instantly fade into obscurity.
