First you have to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka

Not in my experience. Just do it and don't worry about it.

Pretty much a map of poverty levels and areas where minorities are concentrated, not surprising.

It appears to have a crossbow on top of an M-16 style rifle, with a grenade launcher and tactical spears on the bottom

There's still room in car design for bigger batteries too. Could be used in cheaper electric cars with a less optimal power to weight ratio than LiFePO batteries would yield.

I've seen 2 different kinds in my yard this summer: light bluish-white light ones that blink or pulse, and yellow ones that light up and fly in a downwards "J" pattern. For a long time I would only see the lighter blinking ones but then one day I noticed a few of the yellow "J" making ones that I haven't seen in a long time.

But 10-20 years ago the yellow "J" ones were most common and very abundant, and I barely recall seeing any of the lighter bluish blinkers.

I don't want the law changed where I live, because these cameras are prohibited!

Several states in the USA prohibit speed cameras and traffic light cameras, because a citizen must be able to face their accuser when accused of a crime. This is a great example of freedom in the USA, where we do not let machines automatically issue fines against human beings.

Yep I know about all of that, and I have zero streaming service accounts because they all suck in comparison to actually owning the music I like. I've tried them out, and it's just too lame for me to put up with their bullshit hassles. The companies selling those subscriptions love that you will keep paying them perpetually to gatekeep your access to music.

Wu Tang rapper "Christ Bearer" did the same thing on PCP and then attempted suicide years ago. He's apparently doing somewhat OK these days despite that.

MP3s don't have any of those problems. You just copy it to whatever device you want to "stream" it from and listen to it with no account or subscription.

Prime is not a money saver. It's a money waster that tricks you into buying more stuff just because "the shipping is free" but you can often get free shipping without Prime or Amazon. Just wait until you need enough stuff to meet the store's free shipping threshold to make an order.

Where do you think the "quality of streaming" comes from? They don't have access to any technology superior to what any of us can have at home.
