"Security as a Service"

Are you talking about protesting by not voting or wasting a vote on a 3rd party? Without ranked choice voting, the only good spot for that is primaries and small local elections. The lesser of two evils is still the lesser of two evils. Life will be a hell of a lot worse for tons of people if the former guy wins again.

It's so frustrating how expensive this thing is.

I get that SLS and Orion have insane congressional approval. And keep getting overfunded because of it. And a lot of that money would go away without them. And there's a lot of interesting development in HLS and CLPS that wouldn't exist without them. But it still just stinks to see how expensive SLS is and that there's basically nothing that can or will be done about it.

Speed limit changes should be accompanied by speed humps / raised crosswalks, narrower lanes, narrower vertical space using trees, planters, bollards, etc, more frequent stops or mini roundabouts, curb bumpouts, etc etc.

Just changing the speed limit without changing the physical space will only do so much.

Ouch. I'm glad you talked to a doctor about it.

I'm gonna get my shots. I haven't had bad enough effects to matter, so I'll try to do my part for herd immunity. And I work with too many antivax suburban moms to feel safe, so it's also for me, lol.

What kind of reactions? I guess, personally, I'd rather have reactions like what I've had than long covid.

I'm planning on getting my flu+covid vaccine double tap the 1st week of September.

It has been identified as (what's left of) the 3rd stage of an Indian PSLV rocket:

What? It could absolutely be worse. Look at the policies in Florida/Texas/Idaho against education, trans people, voting rights, labor rights, etc. I'm glad we at least got who we got. We could have done way worse.

I think you're overestimating the power of a "Democratic Majority" anchored by Manchin and Sinema.

So they really just turned off the Apollo token out of spite, then?

Anyone who has had to take any kind of training about dealing with government documents should be beside themselves after seeing the bathroom picture. It's just insane.
