When used correctly drones do what paratrooper used to do, create pressure and chaos a distance away from the main fight in areas that are supposed to be safe. This prevents the enemy from concentrating on you even if the drones by themselves won’t win the thing, kind of like throwing a beehive at someone you’re in a fight with and now he has to worry about you as a primary threat but can’t ignore the bees or they become a cumulative exhausting threat.

Don’t worry, our leadership has fired anyone capable of understanding how to use our weapons the way they’re supposed to be used so now we’re going to follow the Russian route of ‘just throw it all at the enemy to make room for more stuff to throw at the enemy’ because the point is not to win but to grift the military budget.

My preferred method is to take a strong fan and put it inside a cardboard box with a hole cut just big enough for the fan to eject air from the box and make a vacuum. Then you simply need one filter big enough to cover the top of the box, not four filters, it still works great!

Squirrel cage style fans are typically going to be more effective at making a pressure differential too just because of the shape. A good strong floor fan, the kind for drying out puddles, is absolutely fantastic for this.

Beyond that a good N95 mask will do wonders for making life more bearable while out in public! They really do manage to scrub out a lot of the particulates if you get a good fit and they come in cool colors these days.

Sometimes if it’s really bad and I’m on day 3 of a song and it has gotten annoying I’ll have to intentionally corrupt the hook that keeps retriggering in my head. It’s usually one or two notes that keep springing in and then the rest of the song triggers and starts flowing. When I catch the trigger in my head I grab it and intentionally start imagining that little hooky snip, not the whole song but just two or three annoying notes of it, and loop them until there’s another association leading me out of the trigger other than simply leaping back into the song again.

I say to music brain this is you this is what you sound like, and music brain gets grumpy so I finally get some peace.

Do you do it to the beat of the song?

Are you Hubert J. Farnsworth? Because you speak in his voice!

Sonic put your shirt back on

This article is paid for by the tobacco industry. Since the death of journalism most ‘news’ has become propaganda because that’s the only way to keep the lights on. People used to pay a large amount of inflation adjusted money for news to be delivered and now news is often only paid for when someone pays to push it upon a target audience.

You can’t have a debate with a fake person. A debate is an attempt to clarify the truth and have both sides accept a common truth.

All you can do with fake people are argue with them. In an argument there are no facts, there is only dominance. The argument is to determine who is in control and that is the only relevant fact.

Attempting to talk to these fake people using the truth never works for the exact reasons Sartre detested his own fake people of the time; the very fact that you try to use the truth and be reasonable is proof that you are not in control and may be manipulated or injured as the fake one wishes.

The best thing to do is isolate the predators and force them to feed upon one another.

You sound like someone who would be more valuable to the state as a prisoner anyway! That’s in no way an insult.

This is complete American liquidation. The obvious intent is to leave nothing left over by the time the Epstein regime runs out of steam. It’s a great plan if your plan for the future is for the united states to not have a future.

I quit four years ago. Before I could bring myself to throw out my booze I would stomp around and yell at it like it was the fault of the liquid for being so yummy. For several years I had dreams in which I was enjoying a beer or a whiskey of some kind, then realized with horror that I was not supposed to be drinking and had ruined all my progress by being thoughtless, but then I would wake up and feel such a huge amount of relief sometimes I had to make sure it wasn’t a real shameful memory of some kind. Yesterday I broke an egg in my coat pocket while bringing it in from the coop and I joked to my wife that my coat was now just a couple ingredients short of a whiskey sour. Then I could not stop imagining the flavor of a whiskey sour with the feel of alcohol and feeling completely nauseated for a good ten minutes after.

Spent twenty years sucking it down but I broke free. Now I don’t care about the price of booze or my supply of it, I don’t get annoyed when I’m the only one with a beer at a party. No more over-doing it and being useless all afternoon. No more $25 stadium beers! No more bottles of ‘apple juice’. Vodka in a water bottle to enjoy the fair. All in the bin, all long gone. I wouldn’t even be thinking about it now if I hadn’t broken the egg and made that joke.

Intentional population reduction.

Hey that’s really good

I don’t see what would stop a state like California from arbitrarily legalizing BYD vehicles just like they did with weed. The current admin has already used up most of the soft leverage actions it has available just to be pissy and ‘they imported China cars!’ would make for a particularly eye-rolling casus belli for the civil war they intend to instigate.
