  • I wanted to buy some razor blades and the poor teenager at the Walmart just couldn’t get his magnet key thingie to unlock the plastic lock on the hanger holding the packages. I waited patiently for like 5 minutes and was like look I’ll fix it. I pulled down on the packaging, tore the little cardboard piece and freed the blades in like one try.

    I then still paid $40 for them like a good citizen and ignored how much I was getting ripped off.

    All while being watched by a million store cameras, three people at the self checkout, the camera reflecting my own image in the self checkout machine, the greeter giving me a dirty look and the detectors at the door.

    Its more absurd than airport security how pointless it all is.








  • You really have to ask yourself what was the point? The crime she did is beyond words, but what is gained by killing her now? She’s been on death row for over 30 years. If she was on a 25 year sentence she might have been up for parole. Is she really a danger to society? Ok, refuse her parole and move on.

    Do you really think the 18 year old who did the horrendous crime gave a shit that the punishment was the death penalty? Will it stop the next 18 year old from killing? It doesn’t prevent crime at all, it’s just retribution. Is that really something necessary for the public good?

    Establishing the premise that killing someone is ok if it’s because they did something wrong might be dangerous if your entire society is armed and has strong moral opinions.



  • I plan to set one up with a little La Crosse weather station my parents gave me. Turns out it seems well supported and gives me accurate indoor and outdoor temperature as well as wind speed and other stuff like storm predictions. Gonna link my heat pump to it and have my NTFY ping me when I should start the fireplace instead.

    We get a lot of small microclimates where I live so its more reliable than the forecast.
