Biltong is so damn good. I would be upset I couldn’t save any for later but hedonistically joyful in getting to engorge myself on biltong.

No.

Amazon is what it is because it creates an easier path for America to buy cheap, as Walmart and McDonald’s has done before to great microscopic economic success, due to the failures of our economic paradigm that shrinks wages and pushes manufacturing offshore for corporate profit.

We need higher wages, which create higher prices, which corrects for the misdeeds of our economic exploitation of foreign economies.

We have offloaded our economic burden onto other poorer nations, and that needs to stop. Pay a living wage and accept the higher cost at lower profits. Doing otherwise is an economic ouroboros that only swallows the easy part at the sake of the whole in the name of kicking an inflationary can down the road so that yachts can grow larger as the foundation of this country in undermined for icarian profits.

Fuck your CEO, pay us so they can pay us something and they can have less than everything, so they can keep from having nothing less than more than we can achieve through reluctant violence.

I think it was “in tow” I saw in second thought.

Aren’t there certain circumstances where you are suppose to write “in transit” on a vehicle? Like it is being towed somewhere without registration?

I seem to recall seeing something like that when a dealer or shop was moving vehicles elsewhere.

He will cancel it by planning to move the sun.

Wasn’t that one dev who said that?

I’m not even ultralight. I have a framed pack and a whole toothbrush. Those guys are nuts.

My first backpacking trip, my bag was 40lbs. I said fuck that jazz, and now my pack is 20lbs and it has made trips so much better.

Or what you put in a storage unit that is inconveniently far away. I still need those 5mm magnets…

Backpacking. I have a big plastic bin filled with equipment that I decided to go another direction with.

But makers are the kings of hobby hoarding, just look at Adam Savage. He has parts for things he hasn’t even thought of building. He has a plethora of tools that overlap entirely just because the set of tools is closer to a given work aspect. Walls of bins with various degrees of filled because he bought 100 of something a decade ago that may have a future use.

The question isn’t about affording it, the questions is why China would give up such a valuable Intel gathering and propaganda tool? They wouldn’t sell it for all the tea in China.

Second this. Looks like an orb weaver shifting between dimensions to place their surprisingly strong web directly in front of someone’s face as they walk through two objects an arbitrary distance apart.

I had one that would make it’s web from a trees branches to the ground, the diameter was around 10 ft. It was absurd how hard that little gal was working just to catch a meal.

I don’t thing corpse borne explosive device(CBEDs) are a legal form of burial, but I am not one to stand in the way of someone’s dreams so long as nobody is physically harmed.

Especially since the damn nanny state outlawed laudanum.

Gold, as is tradition of countries we invade.

You have to qualify for asylum to function as if you were a lawful immigrant.

Not liking the direction the US is going doesn’t really qualify and your application will be expedited and likely denied because the US is considered safe. You do get the right to legal help and appeal, but you would still be an American without a legal basis for asylum and would be unlikely to find success on appeal.

Yeah, they probably won’t kick you out, but you would be an illegal immigrant and have to live that life, which would just be like working minimum wage in America, but with healthcare and a language barrier.

The reality is that most of the countries that fit what you describe don’t just let anyone in. You have to meet certain criteria to be able to lawfully emigrate.

If you have money, no problem. If you don’t have money, you will have to be an academic, have expertise(senior systems engineer, doctor, pilot, etc.), or go to college and try to become a citizen. The process can take years and can be costly.

Let’s look at Belgium.

Invest hundreds of thousands of Euro into their economy, obtain a work permit under contract with a Belgian employer, gain admittance to a college and prove you can afford school, get an internship with a Belgian company, get hired as a manager or director at a Belgian company, or have a business proposal to start a business in Belgium and submit it to the government. You could always marry a Belgian, but it better be a genuine relationship.

So you can’t just decide to move to Belgium.

That is pretty typical for EU nations, which are probably where you want to move to for what you described.

How about Thailand? Same deal as Belgium.

Canada? Same deal as Belgium.

Who is the arbiter of death that decides when it is right on behalf of another?

It will be like reverse crypto mining; for every block you mine, you pay Ubi a fraction of a cent.
