I love the acid-base analogy! Someonene can be transparent but super reactive, like a strong acid or base, and when it comes into contact with an also transparent but opposing reactionary force, a lot of shit needs to precipitate out before things finally calm down.

It's not coming through for me for some reason. Can you try restarting it?

Kidding, of course, congrats on your "Hello, World"

Because of the way it is written? I can drop quotes from the article, but that feels gross. Did you read it?

Edit: maybe it's not AI, I retract that assertion, but it still just reads like slop to me and I respect maybe other people read it differently.

Article about bs AI that sounds like it was written by bs AI

Raping children is a political issue? That's a weird thing to say, Mike.

For storytelling purposes, I like your idea a lot. The dramatic tension and release are there, and at epic proportions in terms of potential real-world devastating impact on powerful people.

But... For lived reality, I really would love the easy win without the added will-they-won't-they drama. If this hits TACOman's desk, he's probably going to veto it anyway, so we will all still need to wait and see if anyone flips their stance during the veto override vote, and that's plenty enough to be worried about on its own.

Yeah, it means we can all keep hoping to be trickled on at some point. They are only giving money to those of us that qualify as something higher than "consumer" on their caste list.

I am shocked to learn, and now you will know, too:

Flowbee is still around apparently!

Also autistic and did this for a few years. For a basic dude-cut, you can use buzz everything however short you want, then every few weeks after buzz the sides and back but let the top grow until it looks like it's time to buzz your whole head again or you decide to let it keep growing back out for a bit. Pretty easy and low maintenance. Takes practice and follow the other person's advice to shower and go back over your head to make sure you get everything, it's harder than it seems like it should be. And you'll need someone to help get your neckline at some point.

This cut might start out a lot shorter than you had in mind when you asked the question, or maybe not. When it comes to wielding scissors, that's not something I can really attack my hair with, so I don't have ideas that would be helpful in that regard.

Apologies if the photo quality is insufficient. In a particular bit of forest, I found an area with a large birch population that all seemed to be suffering from the same issue. Something is causing the leaves to first stripe green and yellow, then turn brown/black, and while there are new leaf buds forming, trees are seemingly losing the leaves faster than they can replace them. There are other areas with birch trees on the same forest that don't have this issue at all. In the affected area, some trees have only one or two leaves left with any green in them at all.

This is in New England, USA
