I'm originally a St. Louis kid, but i live in Ohio now and it is frustrating seeing both states i consider my home get fucked over like this. Obviously the Republicans are going to try to screw over everyone, but it drives me nuts that the Democrats don't put out ads ripping into the GOP for striking down ballot initiatives. It's such an easy slam dunk, but they won't do it.

It's because that is the only thpe of machine learning/ai that C-suites and MBAs can wrap their head around. They keep pushing it because they need to look like they ar doing something at their know-nothing/do-nothing job.

It's dangerously cold for maybe 10 days during the 3 months of winter where i live (temperaturs below 20F). Far from the 3 months of temperatures that never drop below 95 degrees in Texas. The Midwest, the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and mid to north Atlantic of the US are all well within normal human habitation ranges.

I live in a small college town in rural ohio. I listen to our local golden oldies radio station in my car because the songs are great, the ads are mostly local businesses, and i get local news from it. Although we also get a lot of Medishare scams, snake oil from supplement companies. But the ads are much better than the radio back when I lived in Houston 10 years ago. Even the Cleveland stations are pretty light on ads these days.

My main gripe with my local station is that the small conglomerate they are in all play Christmas songs at the same time in the winter. I understand the incentive behind synching up ads across your controlled stations, but why do they all insist on playing Christmas carols at the quarter hour across all channels? I fucking hate Christmas carols.

Seems like we shouldn't encourage people to live in locations where being outside for 6 months of the year is hazardous

Absolute free speech has never been viable. That has ALWAYS just been a weapon from the worst people imaginable to justify their shitty beliefs.

Did you know that Venice sits at the same latitude as Minneapolis?

Wearher and local geography play hugs roles in amount of annual sunshine.

Scandanavia covers very similar latitudes as Alaska does. The mountains, storms have huge impacts on yearly sun

 

This car is an absolute shitbox with a million electrical issues. Just got a new starter 2 weeks ago, and the alternator was replaced 18 months ago, so i knew the battery was the likely culprit.

Anyway, gonna make my ancestors proud and go throw the old battery into Lake Erie

 
 

Here is the inside before i spread the ganache over it

The recipe i used is available here. My favorite single mom in town asked me to make her a ho-ho cake for her birthday party tonight,and here is my final result! Where possible i have used vegan ingredients, although it does contain butter, buttermilk, and eggs. I live in a small rural town and finding vegan substitutes on a budget is very difficult. I made a test run for my friends this weekend and it fell apart in transit, but this time it survived the trip! The cream filling really needs a few hours in the fridge to stiffen up and not let the cake slide off.

 

I am axtive in communities that requite uploading images, but i haven't been able to properly upload any images using Sync in months. The communities are across multiple instances, so I believe it is a Sync issue.

 

Started my first union job right before Thanksgiving and elections are this week. Results will be in this weekend since contract negotiations start on Tuesday. Everyone is gearing up for a big fight and i am nervous, but excited.

Anyway, they had a trailer set up in the parking lot and the steward flagged me down to get over there and vote.
