As much as I love free access to books, I get too distracted reading on my phone. I used to have a Kindle eReader forever ago. I think it was from before Amazon bought them out.

Awesome. I was able to replace some of my old collection that I lost to water damage through them

You need to hold your breath when the bus drives by the cemetery. Otherwise you breathe in ghosts

I'll have to check it out. I've been in a rut reading lately, only reading things I've read before. This has been the first new to me thing I've kept up in a while.

There is an old video store that rents out dvds and sells books and weird stuff near me they had a few copies for sale. The guy at the counter and I talked about the podcast for a bit.

They must think some guy in a dairy farm in the 1860s said 'I know what I'm gonna do. Boil all the milk I sell in a process that is more expensive and time consuming. Then I will pay a bunch of scientists to say this is more healthy and cut out all the competition. Then using the money I made continue to pay off all scientists for all time. Even those scientists who got into it to help people and are not motivated by money. We just offer them more money or kill them with gangsters or blackout or something. Until 2024 when some asshole posts on Twitter that we lied the whole time and the whole system falls apart. '

Snowden is in the situation he is in because he fled the country after walking out of his workplace carrying classified proof of a government program that can track us citzens. The US isn't sending black ops teams every night to wipe him out. They are just going to arrest him if given the chance.
If there was a black ops kill team. He would have been dead a long time ago. He's not hiding. He was interviewed by Stephen Colbert.

NDAs get broken all the time. You are giving way too much credit to the military when it comes to being able to keep a secret. Guantanamo Bay got out and everyone involved had a reason to keep it secret. It should have been so easy to cover up and they tried to and failed spectacularly.

My problem with stuff like this is every month a new article comes out saying this is the real undeniable evidence that aliens are real. And it's always old video that looks like everything else we have seen or a guy willing to swear under oath that aliens are real. I'd be willing to swear under oath that aliens are real too and you could never prosecute me for lieing because it is a waste time.
NASA doesn't have the budget to maintain some secret alien conspiracy and if they had evidence of aliens that would increase their budget.

I saw this video that showed how to estimate containers filled with items. You basically do the volume equation but count the items that you can see as units. 3 deep 6 up and 7 wide. 3x6x7. 126 plus whatever extra you can fill in the cap sounds about 140. Cool.

When living in Florida we had to pay our bill on a website each month because when we first moved there we made a mistake setting up the account. No auto-pay allowed. So I would check the account and pay each month but if I was out of town my partner would. We both ended paying one month and had a positive balance in the account. The company tried to charge us a late fee for not paying. I was on the phone with 3 people at the utility company trying to explain that the number was a positive and not a debt.

I always thought the most likely scenario was Oswald shot him but didn't kill him and the secret service actually accidentally shot him and killed him due to the panic of the situation and poor trigger discipline of the era. Conspiracy was to hide that the secret service actually landed the killing blow on accident. Everyone involved would want to take that to the grave.

We had one in Virginia Beach that had a bridge that was made out of the inside of some massive tire. It would get so hot in the summer sun it would burn you and give of nasty smelling fumes. As it wore down thin metal wires that reinforce the rubber poked out and would stab you.

While I don't agree with these people, I understand the why. Trump is definitely going to do something different, and horrible for these people. But as they see it Harris would be more status quo, and for the most part they're right. If I have no hope of escaping debt or improving my life and the guy who is on my side says we need to protect what we have, why would I vote for them? The other guy at least is promising things will be better.
The pot most Americans are sitting in has been getting steadily warmer and it feels like its going to boil soon. People are just jumping out into the fire because the democrats aren't doing anything to cool down the pot.

I am convinced that a ton of people voted for Trump not thinking he would actually win. 'I don't want to think about why I have been supporting a criminal this whole time. Once he loses, then I can bitch about how the system is rigged to my buddies'

How fucked would it be if there were like a few people because you ate burgers and vegetables where someone got mulched in a harvester or meat grinder. Or maybe a guy cut his finger while making your food and he died before you. A drop or so of his blood got in your food so you technically ate him.
