California actively makes voting as easy as possible, protecting every citizen's right to do so despite disabilities, travel, Acts of God, and Acts of Trump. It took me a few days to fill out my ballot this time because I took time to find out about all the candidates for smaller offices and the money behind/opposing the various propositions and initiatives. But that's cool, I had my feet up at home doing it, and the information booklet they send is always a good start. Then I walked to the ballot box because for the first time I felt less sure about USPS. I got my text saying my ballot had been received and would be counted. It doesn't bother me if like Mr. Rogers, they "like to take the time to get it right." 🎶

And they say the first million is the hardest...

I think you meant "suddenly braking" rather than "suddenly breaking" but since it's Tesla I'm not 100% sure.

"The first million is from Daddy."

OSHA regulations are written in blood (and military regs, for the same reason)

Edit to add: "And it starts when you begin to think of people as things." (Granny Weatherwax, Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett

You know, I bet President Trump is so smart and strong he can fly HIS own plane ALL BY HIMSELF! Why should a bunch of stupid losers and lowlifes like pilots and copilots and liberal media reporters be allowed on board with HIM on HIS PLANE!?!?

Trains with proper guardrails, unlike the Florida Death Train

I like the cursive one best, it flows so beautifully.

Drat. I imagine the cursive is stronger, going to last better, for the same reason of fewer sharp pinches. But if you try again you'll know that's a critical point, and also the other tricks you learned doing the first one.

Thumbtack is good!

As an ex-schoolmarm:

Very nicely formed letters, gold star ⭐

I assume you were planning on underlining the n and adding its vertical line, so I'm allowing credit for that. I hope the distractions were fun rather than exasperating, other than the broken wire.

Have you considered your options for dotting your i ?

Having a ferret whose muzzle is covered in feral rat blood cuddling up with traumatized children sounds like the first chapter of The Hantavirus Horde

I suggest you get a pound or three locally so you can take your time deciding next steps. I use Groundwork and they've been pretty reliable.

Not if you can't make it that long. And having to leave during the big climax is the worst.

Hopefully a lot of it would say, "I'm tired of hanging out in the same old crowded places, I'm gonna go where we're few and far between."

There's at least one app, (RunPee) and probably some websites, that will tell you the best time to take a quick mid-movie break. Then you can be comfortable even if the movie runs long. I usually pick a big fight scene myself because there's less dialogue/plot development and the outcome will be apparent on my return. I do miss the theater from my childhood that piped the soundtrack in to the bathrooms.

Just for the record it's "Israel." Not real.

Maybe scoping the faces of ICE as they go into work, before they put their masks on

Is it stirring us up?

Or just making better memes than the war crimes, fascism and child rape?

It's a nice change to mock him for something that is only a huge waste of time and money but doesn't destroy all America's credibility and world standing, hasn't even irreparably harmed a natural habitat, and hasn't killed anyone.

You can even listen to the Trump supporters on this topic because although they sound stupid they don't horrify you.

Pause for a moment to contemplate the distances between you, the clouds, the moon, and the planet Venus. And that's all in our tiny corner of our tiny galaxy
