A Democrat candidate was hit with a felony charge stemming from an incident with a rental car. My first instinct was that the rental car folks were lying.

That's how low rental car companies have sunk: I'd believe not just a politician, but a Democrat politician over them.

Turns out they were right though.

One of my Mostly Former Housemate's former housemates declared that my unwillingness to respect pronouns made him feel unsafe, and I wasn't supposed to go to the house to pick up MFH's stuff if this person was there. I was just too frightening.

Guess who just started as a new driver at my stopgap?

Hoping I'm so scary he quits before next weekend. I don't need his negative energy.

Weird things I learned recently:

In Japan anime pdf pictures are legal because no real children were involved.

In Russia, making pdf pictures is illegal, but owning them is not because:

1. the picture owner isn't doing the abuse
2. Russian law enforcement assumes you pirated it just like everything else so no one was enriched by your owning it.

Okay. Some time in the past a government agency decided that if you grow your own food, that means you aren't buying food, and therefore it affects commerce and the food supply, so you can be regulated like a farm even if you don't sell anything.

(I'm sure someone here has links if you don't know the story.)

Now that SCOTUS has said if you can own it you can make it, I wonder if there's a way to apply that to home gardens.

Time for another edition of TJ's stupid easy party food.

You will need:
- toothpicks
- bite size pieces of cantaloupe
- prosciutto

Cut a slice of prosciutto in half length-wise.

Wrap one half around a piece of cantaloupe.

Pin with toothpick.

Repeat until done.

Doesn't have to look good. In fact, it's more intriguing if it looks a little messy.

Prepare up to a day in advance.

Tasty and unique.

Get around that, a stalled car is blocking my lane.

Alright folks. I'm about to make you the star of the Halloween potluck with very little effort on your part.

You will need:

Chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting
Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies
Plain Hershey's Kisses.

1. For each cupcake, break a cookie in half and unwrap a Kiss.
2. Use a knife to poke three wide holes in a face pattern (two eyes and a mouth).
3. Put the tips of the half cookies in the top slots and the base edge of the Kiss in the bottom slot.

2. Nerds and Mother's Iced animal cookies. I liked the mix of sour Nerds on the HFCS cookie. Good for one bag, probably won't buy again.

3. Chick-Fil-A's chicken and waffles sandwich. Super sweet, and served with a side of syrup. Glad I tried it, too sweet to buy again.

Where is the thing?
Wait, let me turn down my Meta glasses so I can hear you.

So now we'll have to deal with store staff pretending they need glasses so they have another way to ignore us.

Back before YouTube, I used to login to Napster when the Germans were online and download random songs looking for cool things.

I ended up with this:

Police were at the local gas station for hours tonight. Same thing happened a month or two ago. Not sure if an employee or customer was killed.

I'm just guessing someone was killed - why else would multiple police vehicles be there for hours?

Nothing on NextDoor and nothing on the local news station website. It's probably too common in a blue city.

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to my fundraiser so far, and to those who helped by reposting my request where more people can see it.

Since GiveSendGo is a conservative / Christian platform, there is an option to send prayers instead of cash. I noticed none of you clicked that button. Bunch of heathens the lot of you. And that's why I'm here.

Ugh. I've been waiting for someone to reply to an email. I pulled up my last email so I could use it in my follow-up, and....I never hit send.

Days wasted!

More adventures in job searching:

Company website has nearly 2K openings. There is no search function. The only filter option is by country. There are 6 results per page.

There's no way I'm compatible with a company that believes this is good web design.

One of youngsters at work sneezed and I said "Gesundheit" absent-mindedly as one sometimes does. She was confused.

I was thinking about other things and randomly said "That's what my people say after a sneeze."

She seemed pleased and said "Gracias", which is near the limit of her Spanish, despite her swarthy hue.

"My people"? I mean, they are, but what an odd thing to say.

I highly recommend switching your phone service to Patriot Mobile:
- the prices range from competitive to highly competitive
- all support is U.S. based
- tech support is actually pretty decent
- everyone is friendly and unrushed
- they do not donate to left wing causes

I've been with them nearly 10 years, and haven't regretted it once.

What is the opposite of "security through obscurity"? I have a common last name and my first name isn't that unusual. There are at least 5 people with that first and last name in my current town. No idea how many in the whole state.

So if you wanted to find me, there are a lot of dead ends.

Had some business today with an office that has a networked printer. Sounds normal. Except it requires badge access to scan or make a copy. The employee said everything is tracked, including copier usage.

Bonus points: the badge system was offline, so employees were using their phones to take pictures of documents and them email them to themselves.

It sounds like a truly horrible place to work.

Saw a guy with a shirt that said "AI won't replace me. I don't do anything."

He was a panhandler.
