Fucking EC screwing us over yet again.

He ate theirs eyes so that he could see what they see.

Yes, I agree. I think the solution for these case is to crack down on illegally voting this way.

Like a katamari?

My wife just read to me a tweet (or whatever) where a husband was making his wife vote by mail so he could guarantee she voted for Trump.

I feel like he should be charged for voting twice. If she doesn’t get to pick who to vote for, she’s not voting, he is. Send him to jail for 15 years (or for whatever they sent that woman who cast the provisional ballot because she was told she could and then she wasn’t eligible to vote in the end).

I think that’s the real crux of it. Most people don’t know. There may have been a bump in literacy, but most people don’t know, don’t care, and don’t need to. If we had better education, this kind of thing could be a core class. I had computer classes, but they mainly focused on typing and specific programs. Basically nothing about components, the command prompt, programming, different OS, etc. Granted this was many years ago, but I live in Florida. So, it’s probably worse.

Surprisingly, Florida has a higher minimum wage–nearly double that of the federal minimum, and will reach $15 in 2026. Of course, you can’t survive on that working 40 hours a week.

She’s so fat that we’re worried her and the sun will form a binary star system.

Honestly, I don’t even feel it’s that bad to do. Is it a naturally occurring pile, no, but unless he’s taking perfectly good stuff from unscathed buildings, it’s still hurricane debris. The only problem in my eyes is that the effort spent piling debris could have been used to actually restore the location. So, I’m with the folks who say he should have found a place they were already piling stuff as part of the cleanup mission.

Wasn’t he their boss last time?

You’d have to or the place would smell TERRIBLE! Even taking care of things well, there’d need to be a balance of how many cats to how much space.

To those who disagree with the above:

• Moving is damn expensive.
• Don’t forget that the Republicans are working hard to prevent legitimate voters from voting, namely anyone who is more likely to support NOAA, NHC, climate science, education, FEMA, etc.

Except not all the idiots lived in the path of Milton, or even where hurricanes go at all. I can’t explain why the presence of hurricanes has become yet another idiotic political issue, but the MAGA morons are latching on to it.

I like Xitter.

Well, it has to be someone. We know it’s not you!

They give me those days “off.” I take those days off. I’m already WFH, but I spend the time prepping for the storms and then taking care of my kids and making sure they feel happy and safe. We make a movie marathon out of it. We download stuff to tablets for when the power goes out. We get out the air mattress and sleep together in the living room (my bedroom is under a tree). Work is not going to interrupt me taking care my family.

I know that I am in a fortunate situation that allows me to do something that many can’t. I don’t take that for granted. That said, I do make it happen.

How much was your hypothetical electric/gas bill?

That’s amazing! I will save this comment so that I can trace it back. I wish you (and the collective us) much success!

Sticking with east coast for now. Not sure where we’ll ultimately end up. Not an easy decision.
