Gonna go to Austin Texas for a week. Is there anything fun to do there? I asked my friend and he said visit Dallas or Houston or something.

But like I mean, is there anything cool IN Austin?

Just came back from jury duty. Was just in the pool, didn't have to sit in on a trial. Almost pure silence for the initial two hours where the room got to hear a dude rip ass in the far too close bathrooms. Dude straight up painted the bowl with one mighty heave.

I also dressed business casual where most of the men my age and younger didn't give a fuck. Felt good looking fly.

Fortunately, as jurors, we were able to bring our smartphones with us. Diming out your fellow jurors has never been easier.

Algiers looks like a really cool city. Has anyone been there? Honestly I don’t even know if it’s a country people visit. I know nothing about the country outside of what I learned from great African writer Albert Camus’ biographical details. So I basically don’t know anything about it post-1950something.

The “E.T.” director’s child says she told her parents about her close encounters of the X-rated kind over the weekend — via FaceTime.

Mikaela admits she suffered with anxiety during childhood, and going to boarding school in her teens led to eating disorders and depression — but she doesn’t blame her famous folks.

“It’s not my parents’ fault,” says Mikaela, who was adopted by Steven and Kate as a baby. “They couldn’t have known.”

My friend gave me a speech on friendship and how you have to put it what you want to get back and it made me think that in OT here I've been pretty selfish in that I don't really read OT but then post my stuff and ask for feedback. I read the gaming side and the movie thread a bit, but I'm gonna try to start reading and being more a part of OT.

You're one of the least selfish people I've met.

You're going through a rough time, and don't have the added bandwidth at the moment for dealing with other people's stuff. But your usual pattern is to be very generous with your time and attention. Be nice to yourself now, when you need it.

I was looking at photos of the Kamchatka peninsula and reading up on it. It’s beautiful there—I was really stunned by some of the natural beauty. I’ve found a lot of fascinating places in Eastern Russia in general, in 3D photos and maps online. Some of the ruins of Soviet bases are a bit staggering in their scope and recency. Like how can some of this shit be just ~50-60 years old and look so fuckin’ wrecked.



Fuckin look at that thing. I think I want to sit on it.

Cindis attack on me, my views and my character today reminded me of something.... I have a co-worker, ex punk band singer, skateboarder.... He posts and talks about ACAB all day, fuck Trump yadda yadda, fuck capitalism, fuck republicans, fuck gentrification, but I noticed this man changed since he got a raise and his wife's parents sold them a house on the cheap. Couple months later I catch this fool talking about how he's gonna snap up a couple properties in Inglewood and start renting out. I rib him a little bit and said something like hey man... Whos gonna protect your condos if all cops are bastards or whatever and he gets MEGA defensive, saying he'll be a good landlord, he'll cut people breaks, all that. I'm just laughing at this guy, I remember a couple weeks back he told me that he hopes Lyft drivers don't unionize or whatever because they'll become too expensive and he won't be able to afford his sammies and trips to the dive bar

peoples so-called morals are so cheap, they spin on a dime.

I used to hang out with all sorts of punk types, and it’s been fun watching them sell out and normalize over the years. It’s happened to most of them. I just had one holdout that made it into his 40s, but within like 3 years he fully jobbed, housed, wifed, and babied up. He went on the fast track.

[TVC15]

But the Kamchatka peninsula, I get the impression it’s not the kind of place people go to unless you’re like a rockstar geologist or something. Does anyone know any forums where rockstar geologists hang out?

The other thing I noticed during my morning tourism: Dubai seems to have a lot of fat people for a non-American city.

But yeah, I really like checking out the world in 360 photos now. I basically scoped the areas out I’m looking to move to in detail down in LA, and I’m so impressed by Google Map’s VR shit that I’ve been hooked on checking out cities, tourist attractions, geological points of interest. Please, if you folks know of some cool spot in the world that I probably don’t know about, let me know. I like exploring and learning about this shit. I pretty much didn’t know the Kamchatka peninsula existed until yesterday, and now I want more!

There's this Wild Russia series on Disney+ thats super beautiful. I remember reading a little bit here and there about the wilder parts of the country but seeing it as a whole

That sounds like what I’m looking for. I may have to resubscribe to D+. I’m curious about when this stuff was abandoned. I guess it’s hard to gauge without having a better idea of what the elements can do there. There are completely abandoned towns by at least some of them.

Went to Austin for a week to work on a project with a friend and just got back, it's an extremely pleasant place. The people are super nice and not abrupt like in the Bay Area. Despite the sprawl, there's a good amount of stuff to do without having to travel too far. In just a week I got hearing damage at music shows, went to one of those "heckling" comedy clubs, did the blackout drunk 6th street tour, hung out with some nerdy girls that worked in tech or game development, and on Fat Tuesday I went to a Mardi Gras Drag show. Every queen earned their Venmo tip, it was amazing.

Oh, and I played Chickenshit Bingo too. I lost but I had fun.

[EchoRin]

I'm so fucking happy. Yesterday social anxiety brought me to my knees and made leave before like 11:30  just yanked me like a bitch. Caught me off guard as it's probably been like 4 months or more since I've had such an incident.

Fast forward to today. I'm out and drinking and dancing and having a great time. Leaving home on my own terms. The feeling is great. To rebound like that. I feel like on top of the world! Fuck you social anxiety! Fuck yeah 

[skullstorm]

I went to the grocery store today and decided to take a shortcut, like I normally do, down this small grassy slope. Well of course today it turned out to be pretty muddy and very slippery and I just fell on my knees and hands, everything absolutely covered in mud. I had a paper napkin in my pocket and got the worst of it off my hands and shoes, and luckily I was wearing black jeans so it wasn't super obvious. Or at least I hope so. Also the shoes were in need of cleaning anyway.

There was a time when I would have just slinked home embarrassed as shit and go to the shop later with clean clothes but I seem to have reached that stage in my life that I dress like a hobo and look generally unkempt anyway, what's a little (or a lot) mud all over my clothes and hands

I’m gonna go full  for a minute

Remember six months ago when the CDC reacted quickly when people were apparently getting sick from vaping? And now the CDC is suddenly incompetent when there’s a major outbreak?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said there are at least 380 vaping-related respiratory illnesses in 36 states, plus the U.S. Virgin Islands. There may be more cases across the country, but the CDC is counting only those that have been confirmed or are highly probable because all other causes of the lung infection have been ruled out by physicians.

Forty-four state health departments overall have reported investigations into more than 500 possible cases, illustrating the broader scope of the problem. Late Tuesday, the Arizona Department of Health confirmed three cases, the state's first. All of those patients are out of the hospital and recovering.

The surge in cases prompted the CDC to activate its emergency operations center on Monday. The move will allow CDC officials to allocate additional staff and resources to the nationwide investigation.

"CDC has made it a priority to find out what is causing this outbreak of e-cigarette or vaping-related injuries and deaths," Dr. Robert Redfield, CDC's director, said in a statement.

The agency has advised against using e-cigarettes and vaping devices, especially those bought off the street, as investigators have so far been unable to pinpoint any single product, ingredient or device as the source of the illnesses. Both nicotine and THC products have been implicated.

[Great Rumbler]

Not to rain on your tin-foil hat parade, but investigating an illness with a singular source [vape juice] that isn't communicable is a lot easier of an ask than stopping the spread of an emerging virus.

“Don’t smoke illegal vape carts filled with vitamin e acetate” is a lot easier than “dont get breathed on by unknowing infected”

There’s a weed vape in my car that I use like once a month and I’m pretty sure it’s giving me vape disease. My nails are clubbing like crazy and the actual liquid in the cart went from orange to black but fuck not being high in situations that trigger my social anxiety

A while back had pest control come in and lay some bait stations around the place, been a while and I think the problem is coming back again so I want to rebait the stations myself. Problem is I didn't get the key for the stations and it's completely unmarked barring the warning and ip number. So now either I have to some how pry them open and hope I don't break them in the process or pay that company another 200 bucks to come bait the stations again, making sure I get the key from them this time.

Anyone got experience with this shit? Can I just take a screw driver to it and hope for the best?
