  • Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

    Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.

    And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.

    Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

    Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.



  • So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it’s been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

    Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, “Ai learning from Ai”










  • Another anecdote for the “Springs Be Scary” list, I was helping my brother in law put theirs up two years ago, and similarly had trouble with the last spring.

    We were using the tool included in the packaging, a little T post handle with a small hook on the end, sort of like one of those livestock processing hooks they use to grab heavy things with, just a lot smaller. And not sharp.

    Well the last spring was being pulled back when the metal hook broke out of the handle, and shot into the nearby house window and broke one of the bottom panes.

    Nobody was hurt, but with all the kids excitedly sprinting around, that metal bit was flying at eye level to 3 or 4 of them… Someone could have lost an eye.

    Springs under load are scary as fuck, ask any garage door tech.



  • Funny how quickly things turned to “no political violence is okay and joking about it makes you a terrorist” when only weeks before I was hearing and seeing “jokes” about certain politicians and death, assault (of varying kinds…), and all manner of “violent” things.

    But suddenly after Ajent Ornj takes a bit of shrapnel, it’s “not okay”

    And all the people who “hate Trump” who sit by day after day and say nothing about the other “jokes” because “we expect that from them” but jump in to lecture you about how you’re wrong… Well, are you hypocrites or just cowards? Why is it suddenly “not okay”?
