I've actually been stopped by uniformed officers minutes after spotting the absolute most obvious undercover cop in the world in Ohio.

My crime? I said "Good Morning OFFICER!" really loud as I passed him at the park. There were a lot of people walking around for an art festival and supposedly the local PD got a "tip" it was being used to hide "illegal liberal activities"

Dude was wearing preshly pressed clothing that looks like he literally bought it from Abercrombie that morning. Basically the whole outfit says "I am trying to fit in, this is what we see you people as, look at how hip and cool I am fellow kids" and the haircut was so out of place I literally did a double take.

COPS don't know how to not be cops, even when they're trying their hardest to pretend so they can catch people doing mysterious and vague criminal things.

I haven't watched fallout yet, just because I haven't been in a "fallout" mood since the show dropped, so my only experience with video game shows is Halo.

And I literally couldn't finish a single episode.

So as long as nobody grabs a shovel, at the very least they can only trip over the bar. It's as low as can be.

US can’t be relied on for the next four years, at minimum.

Probably Optimistic :(

I don't think the US has been reliable since 2016 at the latest. And honestly after this... I don't think it ever will be again.

Providing nothing that isn't covered by other areas of the business, while profiting off the misery of others?

Guillotine.

I once drove a decked out panto with a friend of mine around the downtown area, so imagine two pantos (fiat panda) all tricked out to look like something you would see in a hot wheels box or need for speed game, bombing around town, literally doing circles around other players.

Armored up so they would have to break out explosives to kill us, but since we weren't trying to hit anyone, or shoot anyone, just driving around and whenever someone was stopped just circle a few times and move on.

Within half an hour we had about 10 people in a Panto convoy doing the same thing with varying levels of success. Sometimes it looked like a well choreographed dance, but mostly it was a cluster fuck of cars trying not to hit each other as we vibe and cruise.

Then someone came in with a jet and ruined our fun.

"But your honor, it could be argued those 47 people merely TRIPPED into my knife over and over. "

You know, you just might be on to something.

I doubt they have at any point bothered to look at a weather report though.

No atmosphere means very little thermal radiation is pulled from radiators.

I imagine the best bet would be to drill into the surface of the moon and sink your radiators into the ground, fill the gaps with a material that transfers heat well.

Easiest version of that would probably be to lay the radiators on or just below the surface and bury them in a regolith concrete mixture of some sort. Probably not as efficient as drilling straight in, but way less complicated I imagine.

I could read articles from every single paper in the world giving me detailed breakdowns by renowned scientists, statisticians, math experts, and even some geologists if you're feeling frisky, all telling me how Harris is 99.99999999% likely to win, and only 10,000 votes will go to anyone else, and that will still not change my opinion.

GO VOTE

Look, the temporal prime directive means I shouldn't even be talking to you.

But if I had my ship you bet your arse.

As a person who is more than 6 months old, I have enough cognitive function to realize if someone asks me to specifically stop looking so hard into something, I should double the efforts to look because there's a reason they don't want me looking into it.

Seeing the person who asked get backed by police not 24hrs beforehand would make me quadruple it and request additional personnel to find whatever it is they're scared of me finding.

When someone starts a sentence with "the Bible says", I just interrupt them with "nobody gives a shit what the Bible says, this isn't your church"

It's usually enough for them to figure out continuing the discussion isn't going to go smoothly and move on.
