...that use gasoline, and come from a dealership that is actively hostile. I'd rather take my chances on the Slate to replace my 13 year old car.

That strikes me as a forced correlation. Something along the lines of "some people are willing to pay more for British racing green, so let's charge $X for it".

> editing is thinking. I hadn’t realized until just now how accurate that is for me as well. Thank you.

I’d love to know how Mercer County, West Virginia was chosen. I grew up there.

There was, I believe, a hairdresser rounded up by ICE and sent to CECOT with images/video of his head getting shaved and audio of him crying for his mother. I think about him all t…

It is. Pretty much anyone who actually believes the “millions of illegal immigrants” line is detached from reality.

Bingo. Therein lies the difference between a “client” and a “customer”.

Could you expand on this? I'm genuinely curious because I'm a former academic librarian, emphasis on 'former'.

I believe he did, but I'm not convinced it went as well as he'd hoped. I'd read something to that effect, but am unable to recall what and where.

Yep. 3 x 0.5mg a day for over ten years. Started my taper in 2018 and it took 3 1/2 years. In retrospect even that was probably too fast, because things started to go very wrong in…

If you've been on these long-term, I cannot stress enough how slowly you need to taper. Edited to add that I wish I could contribute more to this conversation than lived experience…

Now this is something I would love to learn more about. I feel like I'm always tinkering with audio hardware, and if I can bring a Teensy into the picture, then even better.

Mitchell's translation of part 50, in particular, has long resonated with me: The Master gives himself up to whatever the moment brings. He knows that he is going to die, and he ha…
