My handwriting is terrible, people pay me to not sing, and an ADHD-PI "annoying weirdo."

I'm nerdy on the inside and online, but a goofy weirdo you'd mistake for a tweaker yippie on the outside. I collect Soviet memorabilia, controversial books, and coed FWBs. I don't know much about anime, board games, scifi, or video games. I do know a thing about kitchens, DIY, electronics, running businesses, startups, obsessing to fix bugs, and being ridiculous.

I like me some Rust, Haskell, Ocaml, Idris, Crystal, and Pony. Extra butter, parm, and hot sauce.

Love for all: LGBTQ+, BLM, poly, AGR, and misfits of the world unite.

This horse has been beaten dead over and over. Captain Joe and other airline pilots admitted that it's all about the airlines controlling passengers' attention through deception, and has nothing to do with safety.

At cruise altitude, mobile devices are too far away from towers to operate, so only ground and takeoff/landing ops would be usable externally. It would be more efficient to have femtocells for major carriers onboard relayed to ground stations.

Half of Americans won't get vaccinated. 2/3 or more aren't listening to the muddled, mealy-mouth messages that change every other day. Some people are still wearing masks where it doesn't matter (outside) and others refuse. It's a public health disaster created by bad leadership.

I can go for 70 days without any food and I have a good 40 days supply at home.

If we did something like this or what China did in the first place, it would've died out.

Relying on individual responsibility inexorably leads to a Tragedy of the Commons. Individuals can never be trusted.

There are too many LS grads already. Why pile on debt wo a secure job?

The plastics industry pushed recycling (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as an individual's duty to return piles of packaging and single-use items, not the manufacturer's, to subtly shift the blame for microplastics and plastic pollution.

How it would've worked in the 1930's: Mandatory vaccines by social forces. No vaccine, get shunned and shut-out of stores, social gatherings, and commerce. No comfort animals or religious dodges. Do what's right, not because of a Rand Paul grandstanding tantrum or tribal conspiracy theories about freedumbs, but because of common sense and scientific evidence.
