  • Oof ouch owwie my entire existence.

    My partner has gotten into car detailing and Luke’s to clean our hats and shoes. He’s happy with his hobbies.

    My entire existence is fighting entropy to help save people money when everything breaks, and my hobbies are camping, repairing old Coleman Lanterns and riding/maintaining a 41 year old motorcycle.

    Take a guess who feels fulfilled and accomplished with his hobbies more often?

    I enjoy my hobbies, honestly, but there’s basically never a “done” state for this stuff, just “I can’t afford the cost/time to do this lower priority thing right now, I’ll revisit it when it starts making strange noises on the highway/actively combining fuel and fire”.







  • When all’s said and done, I’d rather have proof that ICE ignored 1000 orders than only ignored 10 and nobody challenged the other 990. It’s not one or the other, we can still use the court systems to create a trail of accountability while we also work to dismantle the systems being put in place to ignore the courts. As flawed and incomplete as the Nuremberg trials were, they only made it as far as they did because so much was documented by people who thought they’d never be held accountable for their actions. Every ignored court order is the chance to punish someone when they are no longer in power.

    And besides, even if they only obey one out of every ten, that’s still worth the effort when the alternative is just not trying because people don’t think it’ll work.

    Are you sure that the parking portion wouldn’t be part of the permitting process? I’d be hard pressed to expect that you could pour such a large slab of concrete without needing a permit in the first place, but where I am in the US I got hassled over not pulling a permit for an 8x8 shed.
