There's a lot of fun cryptids in that region. Apart from the Pennsylvania White Bigfoot, there's the snallygaster and the dewayo. I think the former is because there's a lot of herons in the area, and the latter is your standard "omg a weird bear" cryptid.

You can tell a good developer/sysadmin by the length of their beard. If they don't have to shave to get a job that means they're 1337

Not that much effort. I trim about every two weeks. My GF puts on makeup every day.

Beards are way easier than makeup

Also if I made something with "federation" I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of Trek nerds showed up

The closest thing I have to a worst enemy is the mother of my children, but my kids also really love my cat so I don't know how I'd answer.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod , 2 months ago to news in AP Explains: 4/20 grew from humble roots to marijuana's high holiday

There's activism happening around 4/20. My dispensary is getting folks to post their experiences with medical use, and getting them to sign a petition and giving out stickers promoting my state's recreational bill. Plus sometimes it's fun to have fun. Having a single day (and time) to make it a cultural event helps with activism by removing the stigma against it.

I don't celebrate 4/20 because I use it medicinally, but I'm glad it's a thing if only because it makes everybody forget Hitler's birthday.

Makes sense to me. Nations are defined by their monopoly on violence, and Palestine definitely doesn't have that.

All their wagons are AWD, which I guess is okay. They're all also Cross Country models, so not as sporty as the V70R.

But you can get a proper V70R for under $15,000 which is awesome.

Sadly they don't make an R trim anymore. But their base model wagons are 455hp so that's cool

Part of the (small) student loans I've since paid off went to pay for my Econ 101 class, so I understand that having a big portion of the economy tied up paying student loans is a bad thing for everyone.

Now the big problem is we've made college the default next step and we're running out of tradesmen while having a glut of college grads serving coffee and doing gig work.
