My partner and I try to see Jeff Rosenstock any time we can. Its been probably 5 or 6 shows now haha. Parquet Courts is another one, we’ve seen MJ Landerman a few times as well. Would recommend all.

What are those alternatives…?

I put solar panels and battery storage on my house because my local utility is a publicly traded group of thieves. As much of the system as possible has been bought used except for the batteries.

In that, I buy used as much as possible. Fuck buying new, let someone else buy that 1100 dollar phone I’ll buy it on ebay 2 years later for half that.

I deleted my Amazon and am currently de-googling the best I can.

Microsoft my sweet summer child, it’s not just the ai. It’s the Spyware wrapped in a Windows shell. Call me when I can install without needing an MS account.

Boarding an airplane…

If work would pay for one I totally would but otherwise this solution is working for me

I use a travel router that feeds everything through a VPN.

I mean I understand that but if there are 5 hotels in a given area at least it gives me an option to reward the one with the better internet with my business.

Nextcloud does that automatically 😉

Any tolerance on a part less than +/- 0.001 isn’t real. If I can change the size of the part enough to blow it out of tolerance by putting my hand on it and putting some of my body temperature into it then it’s just not real.

Beat me to it

Regular Car Reviews for sure

Imagine if these people just payed an appropriate amount in taxes, and said taxes were used appropriately 🤔🤔🤔
