I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.
Just refilled the dogs’ water bowl, filtered from the fridge. Which is funny because both will drink out of mud puddles if you don’t watch out, and one likes to eat poop hot off the roller.
I'll note that there are various videos and articles available online on building homemade LRAD systems. Maybe someone could point one of those at the ICE 'officers' ?
Or, just get a shovel out of the shed and have at it. Makeshift pole arms FTW.

During the Sunday night D&D game someone casually mentions the grey cup game and everyone else goes ... that was today? Oh well, anyways... roll for initiative.
(Not that I was ever planning on setting foot in the USA again.)
"The State Department’s guidance also directs visa officers to consider applicants ineligible to enter the U.S. for several new reasons, including whether they are past retirement age, how many dependents - children or elderly parents - they have, and whether any dependents have “special needs” or disabilities, the cable said."

"A diplomat who received last week’s cable, and also spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, said State Department leadership has been very active in finding new ways to deny foreigners entry into the U.S. or just slow down the system."
it's November in southern Alberta and I hear a neighbour mowing their lawn. I guess they could just be sucking up some leaves -- I've done that before.
Remember the days of crt monitors and being unable to stop yourself from taking over a coworker's machine briefly to fix their insane flickering refresh rate?
Maybe just a little on the spectrum here, but it sure bugged the crap outta me to see them living with the strobe effect from hell.
