There!

Newsom and the democrats are inventing a bold new political position: the Constitutional Moderate

While they agree some people definitely deserve some constitutional rights, they don't want to be divisive, and are willing to reach across the aisle to negotiate exactly how many and which rights you will lose.

Please try to understand, this is a very complex issue, we're confident in the ongoing process we've established for the next legislative sessions but be patient because...

I miss when "gooning" just meant working as some kind of executive assistant for a low-level mob boss

@tchambers If there isn't an RSS feed, it isn't a podcast!

Hey @robinhood , have you ever used a fire piston? I'm playing with one because it seems like a cool camping/physics toy, and I've managed to make char cloth and ignite it into an ember with the piston, but I can't figure it out from there.

I'm a newbie at retro fire. I can light a greasy cotton ball with flint, but can't figure it out with a tiny piston-ember thing.

My tinder box!

It's an Altoids tin containing:
- Waterproof keychain pill thing full of greasy Vaseline cotton ball
- little wire tool for pulling out cotton
- block of magnesium with ferrorod (sorta artificial flint?) along one edge
- tool-steel striker tool
- weird collapsible metal straw that came with a camp stove, for blowing on small flames without going cross eyed

@purple Good to know! And yeah, I know I'm tinkering with the archaic. Up until now I've always just used the bic and focused on using kindling right, I can start a fire with a bic and a log and a knife to split off some kindling/matchstick sized bits.

Though also, holy crap the vaseline+cotton works well. I saw it mentioned because its waterproof, but a little tuft also just burns like a candle for almost 60 seconds and it lights easily with the ferrorod.

@purple But this fits in the altoids tin, I was going for a cute little kit! Maybe the fresnel lense, but I'm also in the US northwest where its always overcast.

Its one of the best places in the word to live if you're a moss or lichen.

@purple I've got the big traditional 6in lens (out of one of those desk magnifier lamps) which I have taken camping!

Purely for the novelty of solar bong hits, we got high with nothing but weed, glass, and sunlight, and then it got cloudy and we pulled out the bic.

Then I joked about needing a high power laser so we could have more super clean bong rips, and spent the next 30 minutes arguing with some hippie that "laser radiation" doesn't mean smoking weed with a laser will give you cancer.

@purple I'm glad to run into someone who has tried it, but I'm going to avoid handling the invisible death ray while getting high, bics having a very limited range and visible flame is good!

@purple But how else are we supposed to get empty cans to shoot at?!?

I just had a grocery cart lock itself 10 ft from my car in the store parking lot, because I was a little to far from the store, so I flipped it over and left it there.

I can no longer contain my rage at all the effort put into making everyones life more annoying just to antagonize "the bad people." I want to go steal the giant boulders they put downtown so no one could sit on the grass and use them to block rich people's driveways.

Hey @bunny_jane , is this you?

@lanodan @mia I think its some kind of summoning ritual?
