Conservatives have no culture. They can only consume what we create and then get mad at us for ruining it.

Cyborgs are not abstract theoretical constructs.
Cyberpunk has ALWAYS been a warning about what capital does to bodies, amongst others. Disabled people live and breathe this stuff and not in some edgy way, but because it's our lives. We are here and we are hybrid multiplicities and assemblages. We are More Human Than Human, and in the words of Roy Batty in Bladerunner: We Want More Life, F-cker!
Drive-in Saturday had our holiday show tonight. we watched "The Room" together, we laughed, we cried, we got confused, we yelled "what the FUCK" a lot, and now all of us know the true meaning of "oh hai doggie."
it's always a little sad to wrap things up for the year and say goodbye for a little while, but 2023 is going ro be filled with great things for the old Drive-in, you all wait and see. and in the meantime, Joel, take us on home...
i no longer know or understand what it is i truly want
but that hasn't stopped me from wanting it

The terrorist attack in Moore County, NC knocked out cell towers, internet and phones. People had to drive to the neighboring county to find out what was going on. They couldn't call 911. As I'm writing this, some towns are still without power.
I can't stress enough how important amateur radio is in situations like this. Handhelds run on batteries, and most hams have several batteries charged at all times. Base units often are run off grid with battery banks, solar, etc. Mobile units run in vehicles. Repeaters are usually powered by solar batteries, the ones based on mountain tops are around here.
Having a license, practice and experience with the radios and nets and having a way to talk to others, call for help, or assist are invaluable.
remember kids, being drunk doesn't solve anything.
being drunk, taking a nap, then waking up still inebriated, though, is a good first step to problem-solving, regardless of what the issue was in the first place.

make a police scanner with a #raspberryPi - in case you have a pi sitting around and want to keep tabs on law enforcement. Perhaps you could even use it to warn your comrades about police activity.https://www.hackster.io/news/use-a-raspberry-pi-to-make-a-police-scanner-radio-73b475ba806d

Thinking about making something with a #RaspberryPi? Don't. Instead, check out the ROCKPro64 from @PINE64 - you get everything a raspi provides, along with a PCIe 4x slot, up to 128GB of onboard storage, stereo CSI ports, USB-C host port... along with all the same GPIO, USB, and 1G Ethernet that you can get from a raspi.
Best part? You can get it right now. It's actually in stock, no need to pay triple to some scalping reseller or constantly hit refresh on a store's page to see if they've restocked it. Just grab it and start building.

@JulieSqveakaroo it is absolutely not failing. you are giving your brain chemistry a boost, that's all. it's not "failing" if you take a tylenol to soothe a headache.

Don't forget to love one another 
When you can, do so openly. Showing your love for the important people in your life in public brings a bright light to dark places and holds back the monsters lingering in the shadows.
Y'know, hero shit.

If people can hate for no reason, you can love for no reason.
@Richard_Littler this is the version i grew up with, and the one i listened to this week while putting up the xmas lights:
it is always the right day to post this.
"wow...this white chili doesn't have much texture...or beans...or meat...what the f--"
tl;dr, i warmed up a canister of gravy and almoat served it for dinner
@JulieSqveakaroo i'm so sorry you're going through this, hon. i hope the changes you're making help ease this for you; breaking old habits sucks and so do panic attacks. *hugs*

@mathowie ah, my favorite hill to die upon: assuming healthy colonists survive the trip and land on Mars, the first three or so generations of colonists are likely to have shortened lifespans and die horribly thanks to the lack of a magnetosphere protecting them from radiation; or live crouched in lead bunkers under the surface, which hardly seems ideal.
Mars should be only peopled by landings of ever-smarter robots until we figure out how to change the human body to survive space travel through engineering or cybernetics.
when people say that there are now multiple levels of consensus reality, it really gonches my arovs.
