My take on this is that the "as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth" section is key for the rest of it. All of this is obviously metaphor, but the metaphor Dickens seems to be going with is that "it's so muddy out there, that it's just like prehistoric earth just after land started becoming visible (waters receding and making land visible), and to imagine yourself there walking along and seeing a huge fucking dinosaur basically swimming up the street (in the wet mud) and that 'would not be wonderful to meet' that dinosaur because obviously that's fucking terrifying and it might eat you."

All of the metaphor references are pointing to "muddy as fuck out there and really slippery, and so much so that there might as well be dinosaurs/lizards swimming down the street and that's just miserable".

I don't work for them, but I'd recommend Jump Desktop for that. Works very well and has been out for quite some time.

Have any links on getting one set up (the node with solar)? I have a use case for a mountain top with poor cellular signal but excellent line of sight to a very large area.

How did you get permission from the elders to take a picture of it?

How’s the scoreboard on the number of times Joe and Donnie have been caught at public events completely checked out and in dreamland?

With all of the great things I had heard about it, I was looking forward to playing it. Once I paid for it during a sale (same story as yours), I played for about an hour and felt like the game was all cut scenes and no game play. Plus, the gameplay part of it wasn't great (control/motion/action felt really sluggish and sloppy). I got a refund straight away.

Have you sat in a Lightning before? I liked a lot of aspects of it, but after sitting in one, it is HUGE. My guess is that it's at least as big or bigger than the EV Hummer. I wish they had one that was in similar size to the F150 of the nineties.

Yep - I legit haven't seen an ad on YT in years. I also, just the other day, ran across another filter that disables the stupid shorts since I don't care for that format or YT pushing it on me all the time. Almost usable platform now.

That’s the worst take ever.

“2 generations from now, it’s remotely possible that through reducing wokeness, kicking out brown people, shifting money from the poor and middle class up to the wealthy, and alienating all of our nation’s allies, that murica will be the best it’s ever been. Too bad all it costs us is literally our entire planet’s environment, basic human rights, and our very souls.”

Don’t think I’d be going out for a beer with your FIL

Anything would be tiresome if you had to eat it every day, but lentils can be pretty delicious. Unlimited options if you like Indian food too.
