        Can’t the boomers are still around and they still remember when Jane Fonda was easy on the eyes. Plus you know you got the granola gluten free spiritual not religious types now who are convinced they can generate electricity from unicorn farts.

              I don’t think she shot at anyone, she was photographed sitting on an air defense gun in North Vietnam if that’s what you mean.

      There’s a story on Reddit about someone who snuck an extension cable onto the HOA president’s property and had it running something like an air conditioner full blast nonstop for months. They later said something to the effect of “oh yes, prices are going up but my friend who lives in the other city has solar and he’s fine”. This apparently convinced the person to change the bylaws.
