They're probably the same people who consulted in 2024 to work with the GOP and avoid Gaza. Consultants are literally the worst part of the party.

I'm using less shampoo and conditioner because it's an expense. A small one, but still.

Yes, this tracks. My wife's at a company that has both JP and US branches and the JP side seems a lot more chill with generative AI (although they learned already not to use it in production, only internal visuals and planning). It's rather unfortunate, although hard to say if they would have hired an illustrator or just gone without visuals.

Or poverty! Don't forget poverty.

Don't get me wrong, I'll probably do the drop box too. Urban areas have plenty. But for everyone else, it's good to know you can get verification.

In vanilla, and many mods yeah. I'm thinking about some stuff that requires direct access to the sky. Although now off the top of my head wouldn't be a garden so much as an observatory for Astral Sorcery.

Exactly this, but I'm modded Minecraft you can usually also just camouflage a door. The only tricky part is if you need a garden; some mods support camouflage glass but I usually just have a subtle hole in an inconspicuous place.

I... actually didn't think about it too much when I wrote cold turkey but I imagine it involves switching to less strong products that leave some oils. If anyone has a product in mind though, maybe they can chime in.

This is the correct reply. AM is trash, but we even have highway signs that mention AM stations for certain road condition alerts and stuff. Most places don't rely on it, but when you're in the mountains it's useful.

Hell, even here in CA we only barely started getting cell signals in places like Malibu pass and the like. I can usually get cell service and FM on the 5 or PCH but the moment you leave those, all bets are off.

Y'all doing AI detective work is what I like most about Lemmy. Bravo.

My exact thought, lol.

Although hell, my wife might be down if it was $500k for the date, like some incredibly high priced manwhore. Lol

I mean, if you're in certain states, yeah. CA provides verification for mail in so the advice is more to do it early, get verification, and if you don't get it, follow up. You can still be very lazy in CA and your vote will be fine- just make sure you do vote.

But swing states (which includes Texas this time around lol) and blue districts in red states should be extra careful. I'd still vote as early as possible, in person or by mail if confirmation exists, just in case interference happens on election day (e.g. ICE intimidation).
