We had almost nothing anywhere close to us, and our cats were freaking out all night. The 4th has actually become an annual family hangout night, everyone chills in the quietest room in the house and we do what we can to keep the vibes mellow.

It's highly variable. I live in East Portland and there's almost nothing a few miles west of me, but go a few miles east and it's the war zone you describe.

Trying to imagine things that would shore up the base for Biden ahead of the election better than an Elon Musk perp walk, and I'm having a hard time

The market for big personal coupes that are more understated than say a Bentley or Mercedes just can't be that big. Bummer about the drive, but everything about this car always seemed a bit rushed so I'm not that surprised.

I just saw one for the first time the other day as well, at the E Prix. So desirable, in that subtle, understated way that never sells well.

You can love or hate Zuck and Bezos all you want, for better or worse we're stuck with em because their businesses are well-established and make lots of money. If you want to hate a billionaire, hate Elon Musk because his wealth is all just built on sentiment. Blow his house down with your hate

this is like the time my parents rented Don't Look Now and decided I was old enough to watch it... they somehow forgot how long and graphic that one particular scene really is, and watching it felt like a solid decade of the most intense awkwardness imaginable

I love USB-C for a lot of things, like only needing one charger for my laptop and phone. Anything mobile or fiddly sucks though. It needs some kind of retention system, but I have no idea how they would engineer that into the existing standard

Wires are a pain relative to wireless, but if I could plug it straight into my phone it would at least stay connected. My issue is that the usb-c dongle constantly detaches.

no problem though, I will just buy another pair of wireless headphones that sound worse than the countless cheap chifi headphones I already have, and which I will also surely lose within weeks hmm, might want to add joker makeup to my amazon cart while I'm at it

misplaced my wireless earbuds and have been using a wired set at the gym, and it's radicalizing me about the death of the headphone jack all over again you know what headphone jacKs have that usb-c dongles don't? A BUILT IN RETENTION SYSTEM SO THE TINIEST MOVEMENT DOESN'T KILL YOUR MFING TUNES

Yeah, it's fun to go Doom mode but to win the war you gotta go CIA style and recruit proxies to wage insurgency against the hated grass. I have some feral arugula and oregano taking over large parts of my last remaining bits of grass, and they are my strongest warriors plus mowing smells like salad
