They’ll clutch at anything they think they might be able to use to piss off their constituents, won’t they?

“They’re coming for you gas stoves, citizen! Where will it end? What will you cook food for your family on?! Pic up a ‘don’t step on the gas’ ballcap for only $49.99, and go get ‘em!”

Depends on how much ground there is to cover, but face-time with people is cheap if you’re just walking the neighborhood and knocking on doors.

I had a candidate (not a staffer, the actual candidate) introduce himself and we talked on my stoop for like 20min. I was impressed that he cared enough to come in person. I was leaning in his direction anyway, but after that I told people he seemed like a good guy, donated a few bucks online, and voted for him.

Alternately, you could host a “coffee with the candidate somewhere”, and bring the people to you?

Amazon, Apple and SpaceX. The first two for staggering short-term monies before they figure out I don’t know anything, and kick me out, SpaceX because I think rockets are cool! Maybe I’d kill off Starlink since that’s pissing off astronomers and astronomers are also cool.

Maybe at 2.00am… the heat index is like 115F here right now.

Oh right, and the blue phone booth that’s bigger on the inside?

I think I’d set up a foundation. I’d decide what the foundation would pay for (tuition, maybe small business loans up to $25K, I don’t know…) and then any relatives can apply to the foundation and leave me out of it.

God… LG, always with the updates. That’s their answer to everything!

Ever since they got into the encabulator business, they want everything to run on their proprietary platform, and a big step towards that is to push software updates to make sure that no third-party encabulator will work with their hardware.

I don’t know who makes YOUR encabulator, but I guarantee that if you apply that patch, unless it’s LG (or one of their un-named subsidiaries), that it’ll stop working immediately - and THEN how will you adjust the primary phase harmonics to get extra-dimensional channels?

If I were you, I’d look at refreshing the aether-based configuration variables on your encabulator first, maybe even use your favorite time-dilation method to revert to the literal second that it was working before, and see if that closes your portal.

If your skincrawler is still around, just sprinkle some oregano around your baseboards and oxygen supply, they hate that stuff.

I learned about this when we got a new microwave and every time we used it, it would kill the wireless connection to my laptop!
