I’m drinking my coffee, about to get ready and take the kid to a museum. I’ll look at it later.

WTF does Israel have to do with it?

You can do it! We saved for years and spent as little as we could. It’s hard, but not impossible.

I take a gummy and a variable amount of ibuprofen every night with dinner. Helps some with sleep and pain.

My hangover crutch was modafanil. However, I may just have to be done drinking. Sucks, but it was destroying my life. I’m much healthier. I miss bourbon and the brain numbing fog like great sex with a crazy lover.

Excellent post.

I would add:

Make a plan to run if you have to. Cash reserve, good backpack, identification and other paperwork, a couple of changes of clothes.

Make a plan to move. Save as much money as you can and set a date. We began planning our move in 2020 and our deadline was last summer.

We successfully completed our move to a better state and are much happier. Like a weight has been lifted off us. It was difficult but very much wotth it.

It’s a really unpleasant feeling, isn’t it? Being Cassandra is the suck.

It’s astonishing and demoralizing how many people I respected don’t know history. A good chunk of them tell you there is no train even though they have to shout to be heard over the horn.

I managed to quit drinking this summer after a hospital detox. Now I’m stuck raw dogging reality.

Holy fuck, that article was dark.

I mean, I still totally probably would.

Back in my drinking days, I definitely would have taken her home at last call.

Ahh, there it is. I’m a fool. I don’t care what the stroke to tip ratio or whatever is on Bonero. I’m not interested in the technical wanking details. I merely wish to purchase goods and services.

I’m not investing in crypto. That’s what precious metals, the stock market, and real estate are for.

Bitcoin costs me $3 a transaction or so, everybody takes it, it’s easy.

This isn’t heavily controlled stuff. Antidepressants, heart medication, gi prescriptions, stuff insurance should cover but deductibles, yada yada. Sky Pharmacy.

Bitcoins should be used as god intended: buying prescription drugs from India. Most everything else is a circlejerk of stupid.

I don’t know that it’s arsenic. Green arsenic is that color due to the copper in molecule.

However, that object looks like it did something with industrial fluid. The pipe shell is also painted green. It’s an area where illegal dumping occurs. I’d be cautious. I’ve found sealed 55 gal drums in deep woods before from illegal dumping. Getting rid of toxic shit can be expensive so some assholes illegally dump.

Until you know what it is, it pays to be cautious. That thing just makes my Spidey sense tingle.

Guessing.

Something to do with fluid mixing/filtration/reaction. Fair amount of quick and dirty, not a production item. Low pressure, just a few psi. Water treatment, meth, process prototype, pesticides, agricultural water.

There are green forms of arsenic. Wouldn’t go licking it, wash hands after touching. Don’t hang on to it.

I wouldn’t expect a carb to be in that location.

It doesn’t strike me as a bong.

Also, I bet the lining always had some sort of hole thru it.

I don’t know enough about high voltage to speak with any authority, but that totally sounds reasonable.

As for construction of original insulator, that’s what I’ve decided as well. It’s a stacked assembly. There are smaller versions.

It’s a really big insulator and very possibly could have been used for mining power supply. There are mines within a 1/4 mile.

Man, this shit just keeps being funny. The longer it stays funny, the better it affects all involved.

Yah, the rumor is that the north Koreans got ahold of cellphones with open web access for the first time in their life. So they immediately started watching all the porn and jacking themselves raw.

Not the OP, but I appreciate your ethical explanation.

I agree partially with you. I don’t have a moral issue with the killing of individuals who have engaged in particularly heinous acts: murder, rape, torture, extreme child and spousal abuse, white collar negligence/willfully allowing death to occur through inaction for pay, etc.

I just don’t trust the US or the states to ethically carry out executions, especially given their track record of executing innocent or low IQ individuals. So I’m anti death penalty. Life is cheaper than execution anyhow.

That being said, I don’t have a problem with certain kinds of vigilante justice or vengeance either. Especially vengeance for a loved one. FWIW, I’m not seeking vengeance, but I absolutely get it. Jury nullficaton should always be a right.

Anyhow, the news isn’t in, but I’m rooting for an ethical vengeance situation. He killed a fucking vampire, I hope he’s a hero with respectable views. Even more, I hope they never catch him. Either way the fucker is dead, and good riddance. I hope the other CEOs squirm, they need to either get right or go to prison.

We should be having this discussion in News.

Fuck that fucking book. Fucking love Banks, but fuck him for that fucking mind ripping thing.
