I'm a scuba instructor who specializes in underwater photography as my side gig.

One of the main reasons I do it is because I can write off all my diving and photography expenses.

Trump is really bad at following through.

Other than the millions of deaths and the bad economy, which are weirdly short-term things, what did he actually accomplish first term aside from fucking up the judiciary? And even that was really more of a McConnel accomplishment from the Obama era.

They're absolutely sending their best.

The problem is what they're best at is being Maga assholes.

I still enjoyed his performance. I don't really care about the accent or hair color if they're not essential pays off the character.

And if hair color is essential to the story, that's probably not one I'm super interested in.

I remember my great-grandma talking about picking cotton in the field one day, and being scared out of her mind when an airplane flew over her head. She'd come to Texas from California on a covered wagon, had never lived in a home with electricity, and hadn't heard about the flying machine being invented.

I helped her set up an email account about a year before she died.

The guy operating the drone is still allergic to bullets. So is the politician giving the orders.

Submarines, stealth fighters, etc are good for fighting militaries, not anonymous armed civilians.

Insurrections armed with small arms drove the US military out of Iraq and Iran, and that's with none of the US military changing sides because they were being ordered to aguaranheir own people.

Shy of carpet-bombing cities and nuking the countryside, a tyrannical government can't fully shield itself from an armed population. And when they start committing that level of atrocity, the military starts breaking into factions.

Jan 20. If we do Jan 6th, those who can't hold out will go back to work 2 weeks later, and Trump will get credit for ending Biden's strike.

I teach underwater photography at a local university as a side gig. Being around college students all the time ever since I was in college has made me feel young at heart.

We had a night dive a while back, but a thunderstorm came out of nowhere right before the dive, so we canceled and decided to go to a local pub for dinner. As we were walking in, all my students were getting carded, and the door man was taking it seriously. He was shining a light through the IDs, bending them, etc.

When I got to the door with my card, he waved his hand and said, "You're good."

That one hurt.

We got Breaking Bad though.

Pseudoephedrine can't legally be sold in the aisles, and requires you to get out from the pharmacist's counter and provide an ID.

That's why they push the aid that doesn't work. It can be sold at a gas station and after hours.

The weather station at my house was reading 89 degrees on November 3rd.

That ain't right.
