When Trump goes, I think it may _look_ like we voted our way out of it, but only because on the ground opposition makes it clear that people on the ground will throw him out or people in fact _do_ chase him out after either an electoral loss or an impeachment and removal trial.

At a very basic level it bothers me that I have had very good vegan food at Food Not Bombs, from Mediterranean restaurants, and from Indian restaurants, but I've never had vegan food from an explicitly vegan restaurant that I have liked. What's with that?

It's so dang cold. Doge did not know what they were bringing down upon us when they fired the secret society of meteorologists at NOAA who control the weather.

I later attempted this and the answer is. Sometimes the air is basically fine. Other times you're in the absolute red zone of air quality for several minutes. Without an air quality meter you won't know when you're in which.

If someone were to say, but you don't sit in a garage with a running car for hours, that air quality meter has a battery, so now I'm curious just how bad air inside a car on a mostly highway commute actually is.

Around the 37 minute mark, the idea of replacing all ethanol corn production with grid solar resulting in more power than is currently on the US grid is wild.

Not what I expected from Technology Connections, but sounds about right.

The bills going after 3D printed guns are primarily in response to a health insurance CEO being killed for systematically causing death and suffering. This proves politicians would rather performatively hamstring technology than fix death and suffering from our health insurance system. #uspol

I read through the _Cooking with Wild Game_ #manga on #crunchyroll Manga and my advice to anyone else is, don't. The writing consistently doesn't make sense and tends to just stop caring about things that are previously major points for no reason. The artwork isn't anything exceptional.

"Give the deputized fascist paramilitaries more training" is utter absurdity. The whole thing with Trump term two is discarding the mask, but I didn't expect the Democrats to also discard _their_ mask.

Watched #starfleetacademy ep 3. I don't like it as much because the core plot of school rivalry is overdone in TV generally. But, it takes the idea and imagines how that manifests in the Star Trek universe, and that's fun.
