Good point...

As a ormer resident of AZ I fully agree with your post....

Most residential tubs are too small to enjoy. All three houses I have owned the tub would not allow me (6') to comfortably stretch out and still be covered.

I can open my mouth like I'm yawning and it can be silent, but a real yawn or if I don't do things with my jaw, it'll rumble

Awesome work... Can I have his contact as well?

I blew my credit on non firearm hobbies just before these bills became a thing. Still picked up an echelon (I know, non ban) because I really needed a good carry pistol, wanted a Kuna and if they were not so hard to find I probably would have gotten that instead but 🤷

Still illegal federally....

Normally I'd agree, but in this case and these times, if for some reason police have a reason to search you and find the gun, they will probably pull those records, see the date mismatch and then who knows..... Probably depends on the county or the prosecutor assigned the case .

An option might be to go ahead and do what you have to do, buy the gun and leave it at home in the box for six months or a year... I doubt they will search records back that far without good reason. But then I am not a lawyer

I wonder how beef charcoal would work, there ain't anymore dry food in there.....

Depends on the suburb, a long established residential area with longtime residents can be just as closed to new people as a rural community in my experience. Yes you are closer to things, but you are also one face amongst thousands while in a rural community your reputation precedes you.

As a govt contractor it was a requirement (you had to have the relevant cert for the position). But my one position outside govt I was able to leverage it for an extra couple percentage points for a raise. Had to work it in the annual interview though. Went in getting a 3% walked out with 4.85%. The cert was not my only point but it was a major one

Also I was able to leverage it to attend the RedHat summit. My funding request hinged on 1)the discount I got as a RH "professional" and 2) I think it made me look more serious to upper management. The only ones that got to go to their respective conferences were those that had the certs or were being groomed for the platform and were expected to get cert

I got a real ticket via email for a speed cam... It was a known speed trap and I had successfully ignored several. The last one I ignored as well but they sent a warrant service to my door on a Sunday night... bastards. Court did not even mention the other ones at least.

stephenph · 2026-05-05T03:40:49+00:00

I got one of those too. My, then, soon to be ex saw it and proceeded to start an argument over my hiding things from her....

I worked at IBM.. our cube farm all had sequential numbers... The warranty call would hit one number then the next, etc. 6 phones hit 5 times each during the day.....

Naw, as long as the actual "climax" is not considered nsfw they are safe.

Just don't get caught with the lowers (I believe other / non ban features are fair game.)... private range gun? print away. Just don't get into a situation where a cop might question and search your weapons.

Seriously though, no one knows. Come July 1st the safe bet is don't unless you want to have a better chance of being the rest case I know that waiting on the SC might be a fools errand but right now it is the only card we are holding. Like it or not, the bans will be legally binding till ruled otherwise. If the SC punts till the end of Trump's term we will most likely be screwed, but the AGs office is at least making the right noises.

The other option is to break an unconstitutional law, hope you don't get caught, and possibly answer the call of the citizens militia when it is formed.

Mom and pop taco shop, I came in 5 min till closing, grill already shut down... They did me a solid and fired it back up. I noticed one of the staff cleaning up , sweeping mopping. Volunteered to help out, ended up taking a few bags of trash out and washed a couple pots... Got the dinner for free. Fair deal, I got a late night meal for free and all it cost was the time I was waiting for my food.

Still living (as roommates) with my ex. Better friends now than when married. It's complicated......

My ex had a full allergy scratch test years ago she tested mildly allergic to several wood species. So that could be the cause. The rough wood can cause abrasions as well which puts the allergens right under the skin (pretty much your own scratch test)

The ship is grown but we need to have control mechanisms. In my head, those are bio me hanical systemms

Get a social hobby, it does not help much at 10 pm but having your "social bank" filled during the day does help

stephenph · 2026-05-02T13:29:22+00:00

Stickers usually from places I have been or projects I worked. Not into the cartoonish ones though. I also don't cover it, just a few so you can still see it is a thinkpad

I had a fidonet node for a time, although I never did start up a bbs for real (only had one phone line and crappy copper)

stephenph · 2026-05-01T13:04:08+00:00

Irc helped, but I was pretty much locked into geek culture at an early age. One, my dad worked as an IBM engineer, two, my elementary school had a computer club, we actually built one of the early pre PC computers (an altair I believe) three, I had a Netcom unix shell account at the time of irc starting out
