Yes, but hauling a piece of plywood flat inside a station wagon is a death machine waiting to happen because you can't secure it to anything inside the vehicle with straps.

At least in my pickup, I can tie it down (even if at an angle) to prevent that.

Or even just a flat trailer works too.

Yep, and it's all so ERCOT can thumb their noses at the feds over at FERC and NERC. They only have 11 physical connections with the Eastern Interconnect grid, which is not nearly enough for them to buy capacity off the grid for situations like what happened in 2022.

We're at the church fundraiser tonight and they have a chocolate lab puppy on the auction list that is insanely cute so my wife might put us into debt to get it and I'm okay with that.

Also it cannot be lost in the shuffle that many of the anti-vaxxers do this shit bc they think it’ll disable their child. And right there tells you everything: they do not love their child unconditionally bc they don’t want a “disabled” child. But they’ll take a dead one I guess. So yeah Bad parents

On the flip side, the Murder Rain Is good for the grass seed and cold weather veggie seeds I put down in the diet last weekend.

Then hold the entire agency in contempt and fine them $500,000-1,000,000 per day until they can comply, and direct the fines to a fund to be used for tariff refunds.

It's that fucking simple.

I do not appreciate nature trying to murder the ground with water while also making the most noise possible via electrostatic discharge at THREE THIRTY IN THE FUCKING MORNING, JESUS CHRIST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY HOLY SHIT

I didn't care about this until literally a year or two ago when someone online pointed it out, and now I can't not think about it because it makes so much more sense when speaking it out loud.

Less vs fewer came up on a recently on a Phantom Island.
Less: things you measure
Fewer: things you count.
Say “we need less shit and fewer turds around here” and you will remember this rule forever.

Literally had to do that on Wednesday and it's why I scheduled mine as early as possible: 730 in the morning.

I once had to wait until 3 in the afternoon for that and never again.
