An idea that I had, but not motivated enough to make.

A smart smoke alarm that opens the door and calls your pet with your recorded voice to go outside. Smart so that it can be set to only go off when you're away (I don't want my dogs running out every time I screw up in the kitchen.)

I would love an electric version of that. Just an in town daily driver, capable of hauling lumber, projects, etc…

I think those short bed trucks are the absolute worst. If you genuinely need a truck, get one with a proper bed so you can use it for it's utilitarian purpose. If you've got a short ass bed, you don't need a truck.

Ah man, and I like red hats. Not MAGA, but just a nice fitted red hat. Another reason to not like the cult of 45.

Man, even the Trump "I did this" stickers will be too expensive

Everyone letting McConnell off the hook like he's not responsible for the past 20 years of deterioration of the Senate.

That's a big time problem

That is correct. The state legislatures generally (if not always) picked the senators, but due to huge state corruption, it was almost always political qui pro quo, and some states even going full terms without selecting sla sentaor. This led to the 17th amendment (which you'll here rednecks and/or white supremacists asposing, because states' rights.)

Edit to add: Wikipedia knows it better than I do.

Japan was the first of his that I saw, and you never forget your first.

I grew up I a predominantly white neighborhood in a very segregated city, and I heard people harping on riots and unrest in the blacker areas and how that was bad for their neighborhoods. It wasn't until I was older that I heard the argument that the buildings they were looting or burning weren't part of their community. If a large company put a store in their neighborhood and it got looted, it wasn't bad for their community became none of the success of that company was shared by the company - they were essentially just extracting wealth from the area. Some areas having already been flipping the board. We're just getting to the point that more are ready to say "fuck boardwalk!"

 

Hey all, I'm visiting Nashville (Brentwood) with my dad this next week and was hoping for some local input on fun things to do, places to see, etc… One thing I'd really like to find is a good beer bar (wide selection, especially local offerings) that has trivia either Tuesday or Wednesday night. Good places to eat during the week would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance! 🤙
