The Rent-Seeking Is Too Damn High

I expect a surge in pregnancies if the government starts the mandatory drafting:

Amy, that's the most honest thing I have read about the job market. Thanks.

(Tree trimmers do need to be trained/licensed as even professionals become crispy critters due to contact w/power lines. Young hungry go-getters in a hurry go first in all dangerous professions.)

Well, I had a lady from the DWP here to light my pilot lights, and she nearly destroyed my stove -- or rather, my landlord's stove. She couldn't get the top back on after she lit the pilot lights. I couldn't help but think they should have sent a man for a man's job.

It's easy to pick up one extra item every time you shop. A few days of water/food/toilet paper is a good thing.

So, I just had someone call me an asshole and block me on facebook for suggesting they stop coming to my state to get drunk and party on golf courses that waste billions of a gallons of water every year trying to make the American Southwest look like Scottland, (but only if you look at your feet and ignore the oppressive heat and blinding sunlight) and destroy the natural flora and fauna within a few miles of THEIR home if they want to get drunk and watch people play golf

They deleted my comments

Probably becuase I told the guy who called me an asshole to take the dicks out of his face and re read what I wrote to highlight how my pointing out their drunken contribution wasting million of gallons of water in the fucking desert made me an asshole

Maybe the teacher is using inclusiveness as a way of projecting:

The Holocaust as a "white on white" crime:

and yes, Oberlin is involved...

Someone mention too damn high?

Tree trimmers do need to be trained/licensed as even professionals become crispy critters due to contact w/power lines.

Why? all they really need is to be bonded and insured. So when they contact power lines, or drop a tree on my house, everyone's covered.

Bringing down a tree isn't hard. Being licensed doesn't mean that they'll use their head for something other than a support of the hard hat.

Licensed, insured, and holders of commercial drivers licenses find math, physics difficult to comprehend:

but sadly for them, Math and Physics are harsh mistresses. So is that bridge in Durham, NC.

Even professional engineers have problems with the Maths. Tho I suspect there are probably a few photoshops in that collection.

Tho I do remember a story my pap told me, about mine engineers who drafted a new tunnel from one point to another, and them being off by 8 feet when the two sides met.

Anyone know how facebook works?

Somehow while typing a comment I created this photo and it inserted itself onto the end of the comment I was typing, it also took my comment on the thread as a comment on itself,

Yet when I search for this photo in my photos is doesnt appear in any of my albums

I have no idea how I did this, or where it it being stored

How long were the tunnels?

"... all they really need is to be bonded and insured."

and they'll do this voluntarily?

Luj, not sure where your photo went, but you've taken some really great nature photos.

Talking about Facebook.. This link forces that damn site to show things in a chronological order:

I took those with my phone, for my grandmother.

The Phoenix botanical gardens had a Chihuly glass exhibit she wanted to see, I dont recall even uploading those to facebook

Oh my gosh, Bob in Texas, that link speaks to me waay to much. I was a private hoarder for Y2K and stockpiled Tamiflu and N95 masks when the bird flu hysteria was going around. Now at least I feel validated in my prepping tendencies.
