    Why I chose a place a 1/4mile from nearest neighbor, then bought as much as possible around me. Though now have one 250 yrds away. Still pains in the butt!!

    I have a feeling 120 years from now is going to look a lot like 1200 years ago.

    2 HP laptops, different button locations relative to the TouchPad. This is why we have standards... 20200819_094823.jpeg

    USPS delays and their tracking bs. Priority is 1-3 days and my delivery is now on day five and the tracker says it's delayed but in transit and should arrive 8/18. That's yesterday. How can I cut, build and shoot my arrows if they don't get here!

    I got drug tested yesterday. All part of the game but it got me thinking. I'm a grown man peeing in a cup. A gloved nurse tells me to wipe the tip of my penis with something. Then I pee in a cup. Come back out and seal the urine in two different vials. Sign the seals. Sign the legal paperwork which will then deliver my piss to a drug tester. Then all that ppwk gets rerouted to my employer.

    And that is just a small piece of the government, and general bureaucratic process in this world. Just think of that...I'm pissing in a cup and signing vials of piss. We aren't supposed to be living this way. Categorizing everything. Monetizing everything. Bureacratizing everything until every part of you is defined and measured.

    Remember when the idea of a piss test to receive welfare benefits was so offensive? You are pissing so that you can continue to work.

    Same. When I worked at the bomb plant, often tested and on one occasion twice in the same week.

    Now, I usually have a pee test for Pharma clients, but most banking clients don't require one
