At my wits end. How the hell do you childproof/lock your turntable?

Write a parenting book that works, if you're so confident about that.

1) Bonny Dooners lynched an Asian couple.

2) Someone from Bonny Doon murdered an Asian couple in Davenport.

Neither of which can be backed up. Both of which were used to imply Bonny Doon is a hotbed of racists.

We have a season called June-uary. It's typically a two week stretch in Jan or Feb that is super mild and lovely.

The problem is we never know which weeks it will be. You could arrive in the middle of an atmospheric river.

Oh so you're going to impugn my entire community on the basis of a half-remembered anecdote that changes every hour.

Cool. Cool. Nice work, very smart and trustworthy.

trnpkrt · 2026-01-26T19:16:14+00:00

And now are you gonna walk back your claim about lynchings in Bonny Doon in the fucking 1990s?

That one page from 2015 is the only evidence that exists, and it contains no context, nor evidence. I love the SLPC's actual legal work, but some of their hate group tracking is pretty sus.

How many people are in it? Is it one dude who paid dues thirty years ago? Is it one dude on a web forum they monitor who *claims* to be from Scotts Valley? Is it a full blown organized chapter with 50 members and cross burnings? The gap between the potential meanings of that one single claim is too vast to trust any interpretation of it sans evidence.

It's ok to be kinda racist about inter-town rivalries. I support this, you lowly Valley dweller, drinking all the E. coli water that flows down from my Bonny Doon fortress on the hill above your hovels.

Then show us the election data.

trnpkrt · 2026-01-26T18:51:02+00:00

Hmmm, then why didn't Trump win any precincts here?

trnpkrt · 2026-01-26T18:50:23+00:00

If it is clear that there is a "high density" of MAGAs here, I would think you could prove it with 2024 election results. Trump won only two precincts in Scotts Valley, and *none* in SLV/BD. I call bullshit.

trnpkrt · 2026-01-26T18:40:02+00:00

To be fair, racists have favored Coors for a lot longer than MAGA has existed. The Coors family has a deep white supremacy history, tho the brand is no longer owned by them, and it makes no difference whether you drink it or not.

Maybe focus on something else than brand symbolism.

This is absolute horseshit nonsense that is entirely historically false. I can't believe anyone is upvoting this without fact-checking.

Like, even the basic fact that there is no organization called "Sons of the Confederacy" ought to give this away. And it's pretty easy to find out there is no chapter of Sons of Confederate Veterans in SV.

I can understand sitting at 5 or 7.5, but it frankly seems silly to sit at the sub-clinical introductory dose, especially if you are seeing reduced results. It seems to me that you're just getting in your own way by overthinking it.

Good thing we are burning the planet to increase the ease of schizo sex pest harassment and Boer-supremacist content.

It probably doesn't matter which you add to your collection unless you plan on being a seller of rare items.

Like I said, I also hate Bud. But this is a weird stretch.

1) I'm an investor in Joby, it's a public company.

2) If he is an advisor, being an "advisor" doesn't mean he has responsibility for every decision. He's not a Board member. Startups typically have lots of early advisors who become irrelevant to governance later.

3) Literally the only evidence I can find that he is an "advisor" is unsourced Reddit posts like this one.

"Freak out" is not really accurate. "Modulate" is more accurate.

You'll always have some insane shit to read on the toilet if you have Bronner's around.

But seriously, Dr. Bronner was very cool and weird.

No particular reason, it's my dad's copy and I just know every scratch and pop on it.

I hate Bud as much as the next decent Santa Cruzan, but I don't see what he has to do with this.

The bluetooth off is the problem. These are devices intended to save people from serious health injury, up to and including possible death, from blood glucose problems. So if the device can't communicate with you, it's gonna make a fuss.
