I live in an area with a subscription fire service.

It’s not expensive - around $200/year. And if you don’t have a subscription they still come and put out your fire or cut you out of the car or whatever needs to be done. You just get a bill for $3000/hr/apparatus that responds.

But I still find it abhorrent. Just put it in my fucking taxes and be done with it. Jesus.

EMS is abso-fucking-lutely covered by hipaa. Source: volly ems for the better part of a decade.

I’ve always thought that ADHD is the most poorly named condition I’ve ever seen. It’s borderline offensive. They named the condition after the fact that other people find us annoying, and even then, the name describes a single sign, and is far from all encompassing. It’s like calling Parkinson’s Disease “shaky hand syndrome”.

The group responsible for the DSM needs to get off its ass and do better.

No online store. I just do it as a hobby. Feel free to dm me whenever.

Are you my wife? I swear she has some kind of pathological aversion to forks.

I’m neurodivergent and still have absolutely no idea what you just said.

There’s a pen sub? I was on r/penturning on that other place.

The bolt action is wenge with a oil/wax blend friction polished finish. I’m asking $100 for it with free shipping to anywhere in the continental US. It comes with a free black faux-velvet sleeve for safekeeping.

I will ship internationally, but that’s not included, sadly.

I still have the third one available. I’m asking $50 for it, with free shipping to the continental US. It’s padauk, canarywood, katalox, and leopardwood with an aluminum inlay and a cyanoacrylate finish…

Bruh. I make pens as a hobby. Happy to make and ship you one.

I still have the three on the right and the third from the left on hand. Can also make whatever.

The stripey one, second from the right is recycled skateboard deck. Those have been really popular. I’ve got a big ol’ stack of skateboard decks ready to go to make more of them :D

Oh. Yeah. That’s gonna be a no from me dawg. Thank you for the reply though.

Please explain the e-residency and id card thing. I’m in the red area and really really don’t want to be.

Clearly you’ve never had a half-asleep sit-down pee session where your little fireman played “find the crack” with your pee stream and the toilet seat. Nothing like sleepily pulling up your pants to find your underwear cold and wet.

You mean like here in maryville, tn, where the new Smith and Wesson factory and test range shares a property line with Middlesettlements Elementary School?

Nothing quite like kids hearing gunshots outside at school.

And it wasn’t just “allowed” by zoning laws. The city basically did backflips to get the plant to move here. They even convinced the city of Alcoa to cede the land to the city of Maryville without telling Alcoa why they wanted it.

Bunch of shady shit all around, but the whole county basically sucks Smith and Wesson’s dick now. They even had a big festival on the day the plant opened to celebrate it.

Our local Sam’s is disgusting. I was considering joining a while back during a $10 membership sale.

Everything was a mess, the employees all looked like they wanted to kill themselves, and the was a literal pile of human shit in the middle of the bathroom floor - not even in a stall or near a toilet - just a big ol dookie right in the middle of the bathroom.

Did not join. Wasn’t even worth $10 to me.

By dumb luck I bought a house right before the housing market lost its goddamned mind.

$145K for a 3 bedroom on an acre of land. It’s more than doubled in value since I bought it, and I pay less than $1000/mo at 2.9% interest.

I keep getting letters from my mortgage company offering me $80K in a cash-out refinance at like double to triple my current interest rate and I’m like “how about blow me?” I’m riding that interest rate until the wheels fall off.

He sold them.

On the downside, sad to see the kids go, but on the upside, you get a free pair of Nikes every month.

Most of us do, and have been screaming it for years.

But the main issue here is that some of us are just catastrophically stupid.

The door from my driveway opens into my office. The light switch in my office is in a really shitty place. When coming into my office at night, I have to navigate to the light switch in the dark to turn on the light.

Or, at least I did. Now when the door opens at night, the light in my office comes on at 10%.

Stuff like that is why.

Dungeons and Daddies (not a BDSM podcast)
A D&D podcast about 4 dads from our world that get tossed into the Forgotten Realms on a quest to find their missing kids. It’s fucking hilarious.

Old Gods of Appalachia
Many eons ago, Earth was a prison for things that shouldn’t be. Buried under what we now call the Appalachian Mountains, long they waited. But time weathers all things, and what were once gigantic mountains have eroded to mere nubs of what they once were. Then man, in his quest for coal, cracked open that black prison and things started leaking out… Set in “alternate Appalachia” in the late 1800s and early 1900s. A great, dark story.

Scared To Death
Think of all those scary stories you’ve ever heard… urban legends, ghost stories, monsters, cryptids, aliens… Of course, most of them are just stories right? But what if one of them was true? And, if one of them was true, what does that mean for the rest of them? Each week, they take two stories found on the internet and two-four listener-submitted stories, tell them, and assuming they’re true, discuss what that would mean. Take care while listening.
