Biden could probably win by promising to resign after Inauguration Day. I think the devils we know are making the devil we don’t know look attractive.

I’m not Catholic, but can’t you just make regular jello, and then have the priest bless it?

You’re just not killing enough people. At some point the heirs decide to give it all away.

I’d have to hit 130.

I’m not sure there’s even that much more of this century I want to see.

Perhaps people on Lemmy just aren’t learning anything.

You’re also assuming she gets 8 hours of work a day at her normal rate. It’s not like she’s salaried.

No, I haven’t been conditioned into anything. 38 years of driving taught me to be able to tell what is happening because I’m aware of the road. I know I didn’t just drive off the edge of the road, because I know where the road is and I know where my tires are.

I’ve had lane assist in my truck for 2 years and I learned what it feels like. However, it’s clear that different manufacturers implemented it differently. All I can say is, it appears Honda got it right.

Well, that’s kind of what I’m saying. That’s insane. In my truck I wouldn’t even describe the lane assist as a nudge. It’s just barely enough to be perceivable. Certainly nothing that’s going to make me question anything other than if I’m over the line.

How strong is the lane assist in your car? If I was weak enough to even be bothered by the lane assist in my car, I’d figure it was time to stop driving. It certainly has never come close to overriding my steering.

The trick is to license private companies to produce the powder. You still get the budget savings, and you get reasonable license fees from the private companies, but you offload the risk of having to invest in the industrial dehydrators.

Honestly, I was down with Christianity until college. I’m not Catholic, but I attended a Catholic University. I was raised Lutheran.

College was a really good experience for me. I got a good education, made friends, and had fun. I still have good feelings about the school.

However, the hypocrisy of the conservative Catholic leaders of the university, and their cowardice in the face of a calm discussion of issues, led me to see that the Christianity I was taught to believe, while overwhelmingly positive, was not lived by most people who claimed to be Christian.

Edit: that was about 33 years ago.

I misread that as “dry ice”

I think it would be more useful to dramatically increase taxes on unoccupied or AirBnB properties. Increase penalties on slumlord behavior. Similar things to gently (or not so gently) discourage people from hoarding residential real estate.

Otherwise, if someone was renting my house and they wanted to buy it at $100/month, it would probably take more than 800 years to buy (if I could afford to get it into shape to maximize the appraisal).

Yeah, but it’s not like anything interesting and movie-worthy ever happened back then.

He said, “The sheriff is near.”

You know, outdoor concerts weren’t on my list of worries as we burn the world.

Party pooper.

Yeah, I’m not saying it was random chance either. I’m just amused by imagining the possibility of some poor sad sack who got it and can’t figure out why everyone hates him.

Plus, the chances of randomly getting BOOG88 have got to be pretty small.

But not impossible.

I’m just imagining the guy that randomly got that license plate with no idea of any possible meaning.

He just can’t understand why his car is always the victim of such vandalism. Every time he gets it fixed, he finds it keyed again, or the tires flat, lights smashed…

Serious question: are there other constitutional rights that can provide the direct means to kill?
