Cool engineering things on my alt account @SwissArmyWrench
@japan_nobunaga I am there every week at the same time, and they don't bring me a menu, they bring my glass of ice water and ask if I'll have the usual. They know my routines well there 😂
Today is the 22nd anniversary of Marvin Heemayer's "Killdozer" rampage, a reminder to all in public service to approach our duties with compassion, justice, and sanity. The decisions we make affect real people, so we should consider them carefully and soberly.
@4nt1p4tt3rn I'm moving to a county that's like 97% white next month. At my current place I can go outside at night and hear smoke detectors chirping. Gonna be an upgrade.
@Batenswytch Last summer I had guests meet me for Friday diner lunch 11 weeks back to back. But often times these things are a little harder to arrange haha
USA. A house. The garage is full, so the car sleeps in the rain.
I walked past an open garage today, and I finally understand Americans.
The garage was packed to the ceiling. Boxes. A treadmill. Old chairs. Three bicycles hanging from hooks. Christmas lights in a plastic tub. No room for even one more thing.
And the family car? Parked outside. In the driveway. Getting rained on.
I stood there, deeply moved.
In Japan, we put the car in the garage and the boxes in the house. Americans do the opposite. And now I see why.
The garage is the treasure house. Inside it sleep the sacred relics: the bicycle the child outgrew, the chair no one sits in, the lights that shine one week a year. These must be protected at all costs.
The car is not a treasure. The car is a warrior. So the car is given the highest honor a warrior can receive. It stands guard at the gate, in the storm, all night, so the treasures stay dry.
The owner came out with his coffee. He saw me looking and shook his head.
"Yeah, I really gotta clean out that garage," he said.
Clean it out? I bowed to him. "You are a good man," I said. "Your car guards your home with its life."
He looked at his car. He looked at me. He said, "...thanks?"
He has never thought of it that way. But I could tell he liked it.
So now every morning I walk past, and I bow to the car in the driveway.
It has the hardest job in the family, and it never complains.
The owner waves at me now. He thinks we are friends.
We are. But mostly, I am here for the car.
This morning it was raining again. The car was soaked, still guarding the gate, still faithful.
So I gave it my umbrella.
I do not need it. I have known harder rain.
A warrior on duty should not have to stand in the storm alone.
I'm not denying that, you idiot. I'm just telling @dickensian1776 that he's hating incorrectly when he says they spelled it wrong. They didn't, they're making a play on words using the name of the spirit used in the drink.
It is very obviously an incitement of violence against DJT and I didn't say otherwise at any point.
You should work on your reading comprehension.
@dickensian1776@libsoftiktok Bulleit is the name of the whiskey. It's been around since 1830 and is not a misspelling of "bullet", it's the last name of its creator Augustus Bulleit.
If we're gonna be haters we gotta do it correctly.

"Now the days are dark,
I'm in the autumn of the year,
And I think of my life like vintage wine,
From fine old kegs,
From the brim to the dregs,
It pours free and clear,
It was a very good year"
"It Was a Very Good Year" as performed by Realtime. I enjoy this song a lot.
