That would be a Radical Faerie.

Seriously check them out. It’s a cool and really influential group of pioneering gay dudes, gaying it up on the farm.

They have sort of died out as a group, but one can hold a pitchfork in a homosexual manner whenever you choose. That’s not illegal yet.

Radical Faeries

“Could you BE any more leet?”

Yes, a real band. They were really popular among the indie-folk-pop set around the turn of the last century. The bit on parks and rec was just a way to establish April’s character as ‘too cool for all you bitches’.

Pretty good stuff if garage studio music is your jam, but if you haven’t heard them yet, they may sound derivative because they did influence a lot of later stuff in that genre.

Sounds like something a cuckcel would wonder…

(Replaces headphones and settles into the chair, stares intently)

The flavor is similar to schnozzberry.

“Good morning, sir! We open at 8am.”

If I were rich enough, my kids wouldn’t care. Money brings all the boys to the yard.

That’s Mr. Porksnort to you, peasant.

Since I am not rich enough to leave an inheritance, my kids will just hate me the usual amount.

Yeah, the federation can sometimes act like shitlibs. I’m certain that colonization in the trek universe is driven by people who get annoyed with the smugness and need a fresh start.

It means you only do weed and shrooms

Finally, someone who gets it!

The more you spend, the more you save!

The math has been done to death. CO2 capture requires energy input and doesn’t yield any. This is basic stuff.

These advertisement-delivery systems at the pumps piss me off. They blare loudly.

Here’s a question for the techie crowd.

I used to be able to press the physical buttons on either side of these screens and get the ads to mute. It was a two-button combo I discovered using a systematic method as a way to control my irritation at the excessive volume. It was either that or stick a pencil in the speaker.

This worked at gas stations in several states for months. The mute feature was surely written in as a sanity saver for the developers and technicians. It stopped working a few weeks ago, so I guess the pushed out a patch.

Not much of a question I guess, except what gives? Does anyone have insight into these systems for realsies?

Exactly.

Until fossil fuels are not a part of the energy equation, DAC is a band-aid where a tourniquet is required. Sure do research, but DAC will never work while we are burning fossil fuels for energy. It doesn’t even make economic sense.

It can, but it isn’t and it won’t. DAC is a scam and a distraction until fossil fuels are out of the equation. It is a false hope, a glamour, to keep us from addressing the root causes.

Direct air capture is a scam. It requires energy that comes from somewhere else. Capturing CO2 requires energy, it’s basic physics/chemistry.

Nothing about it makes sense excpet as an expensive boondoggle and a distraction for correcting the root causes of climate change.

Right. It seems analogous to regenerative braking in a gas/electric hybrid car. The momentum is turned back into electricity to reclaim potential energy. Some of the energy was already spent in RO stage and this process gets some of it back.

So what if several people at work are having panic attacks?

Do we all bite a lemon?

Like some sort of lemon party?

Ugg you are so backwards on this. It is clear you see the mechanism behind how the media enforces the status quo, which is working just fine for a sliver of our population. But your proposed solution is what? Capitulation? Acceptance of second class citizenship?

Nah. Me personally, I am going to remind every Christian I know exactly how they fail to act in a Christian manner.

I am an atheist, but I am also a Red Letter Christian. I have read and thought deeply about the words Jesus actually spoke, there are versions of the bible where his words are printed in red ink.

There is plenty of dissent within most churches on these issues. It does the cause of justice no harm to remind Christians, im a pointed way if necessary, that they are failing to even attempt to live by Jesus’s direct teachings.

(sigh) cool story
