Sometimes sound, sometimes an impact. Either way it’s pretty disruptive. I thought this was very common.

This is so perfectly appropriate.

What in the hell is happening? It’s like the more we progress socially the more the religious zealots get to go fucking crazy.

One of nicest places on earth. Beautiful scenery and the most wonderful people.

This makes much more sense.

Sweet. Fine them for 70 years of knowingly contributing to air pollution and climate damage.

Arrrr ye mateys.

From bad to worse?

One can dream.

Good time to step up and be a good NATO member. Or generally just a good nation in general. Imagine Putin landing in Turkey and when he steps off the plane. “Welcome to Turkey, you’re under arrest.”

Good time to arrest him and turn him over for a trial.

We did too. Bought for less than $100k. We have fixed rate ATM on our mortgage. But as soon as it is ready to renew we hope things have settled down. We never want to live above our means. We got lucky.

We had to sell a piece of dream property this year because rates made payments go up so much that we could barely do minimum payments. We had planned to build on it eventually. Inflation and interest rates made it impossible. Now the dream is a memory. We just hope we can hold on to our current house.

What’s happening in the US isn’s even considered conservatism anymore. It’s the MAGA cult. I am definitely left, but conservatives don’t always need to be bad. It just so happens that the Republican Party has filled itself with people serving themselves and not the people who voted for them. Fingers crossed things go well this November.

Tax the wealthy. If we want to fix this problem money has to come from somewhere. The middle class any poor have nothing left to give. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for our government to have the spine to do it.

Seems fair.

I got some cheap solder with my solder station and it was the bane of my existence. Found some leaded solder I think I got from radio shack years ago and it works so well. I hate to say it but I haven’t yet had good success with unleaded solder. Someone please save me from the brain damage.

Imposter syndrome. Not feeling worthy even though you’ve worked really hard to be there. I just want to say, yes you deserve the good things and yes you are smart and yes you are enough. Congratulations on doing well.
