  • It HAD to go before a vote in Cali. We didn’t have a choice politically since our independent election map commission is enshrined into the state constitution. In Texas they don’t have anything remotely enshrined into their constitution so for us here in Cali we had to put it to the people and even then it’s sorta weak since it has an exact end date in 2030. It’s only here for one cycle before it falls off and goes back. Which could be dangerous if the other states don’t stop gerrymandering.

    That or we’ll just leave next time.











  • Completely agree with your points. I own several AR-15s (that I refer to as assault rifles in long form and AR in short form) and even battle rifles and if you even walk into any gun store they would call them AR. Which they’d say means armalite rifle, except that it’s a brand name… so it would certainly seem they’re either saying Kleenex, or it’s referring to something with a more common name… just gun people think anyone saying “assault rifle” isn’t in the know or is looking to take their guns. Which is stupid.

    Common parlance is changing and it’s very simple.







  • The moss on the wood retaining wall say this isn’t near a warm/desert climate.

    That said, it’s a RAM TRX. Great truck for dune jumping and pleasantly reliable. My only complaint with them is that it’s a whole lotta horse power for a truck whose tires limit it to 104. I love going fast in my fun cars, but the sacrifices Baja trucks (raptor and TRX) make are just pointless to me. Great resale values though.


  • I like how you’re calling bullshit on a study because you feel like you know better.

    Read the report, and go check the study. They note that the biggest gains in human visibility for displays comes from contrast (largest reason), brightness, and color accuracy. All of which has drastically increased over the last 15 years. Look at a really good high end 1080p monitor and a low end 4k monitor and you will actively choose the 1080p monitor. It’s more pleasing to the eye, and you don’t notice the difference in pixel size at that scale.

    Sure distance plays some level of scale, but they also noted that by performing the test at the same distance with the same size. They’re controlling for a variable you aren’t even controlling for in your own comment.


  • I’m a gun owner, but the US has the “highest rate” of ownership in a way that most Americans don’t understand stats. We have a shitload of guns, enough for like one in every humans arms. However only like 45% of homes have guns. Like me most of us gun owners don’t just own one, we own like… a number that’s greater than 5. So it skews the data.

    Still I thankfully live in Blue AF California. My guns are for when we go to secede. Which I feel is getting sooner. Cascadia and all that.


  • Brother he’s working a job throughout this entire story. That by default means he’s not a bum. He can be completely content being in one place. Hell I worked in school districts with plenty of people that were “lifers” and that didn’t make them bums.

    It’s more so sad from his angle of he still doesn’t have a person to be with. He could also be banging people left and right and not meant for monogamy. Still not a bum.
