    Next time you're in town I want to go to Hog Jaw, their sides are the place that come closet to rivaling (surpassing?) Jack Stack for me. They do a burnt end chili that fucks hard, and their sweet potato fries come with a little thing of whipped sugar to dip them in.

    there's an uproar from a certain section of the irish right because there's a rainbow flag flying over the building where the rising happened during the irish war of independence

    "those true irish patriots would be spinning in their graves"

    fun fact! There was multiple lesbian couples fighting in that exact building during the uprising and one of the leaders was a gay man who kept a literal diary of him fucking men

    irish independence is very, very gay

    Good morning! I got to spend last week preparing the Dumbest Possible Report. It's an excessive concentration report, meant to make sure that no individual census tract in California has too many cannabis retailers per capita. Which, okay, fine.

    But for one thing, the data needed to complete it is a fucking slog to get to, so it takes like three times longer than it should.

    For another, we're required to generate this report, but it doesnt go anywhere. We don't report to anyone. We create it and then shove it in a data hole in case anyone ever asks about it, which, in the history of our department, nobody ever has.

    Third, the language of the regulation defining "excessive concentration" is written such that, mathematically, the only possible situations in which a county is not in violation is if there are either no cannabis retailers at all, or one cannabis retailer for each person in the county. So either the reg was written by an idiot, or by an evil genius who hates pot.

    I spent a week creating a report that nobody will ever see outlining how it's impossible to sell pot legally in California.

    I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.

    From what I have seen, you should never let a legislator attempt to do math. It invariably ends poorly.

    The actual language is to the effect of "no individual census tract shall have a concentration higher than the average for the county."

    Which, think about that for a moment.

    The politics of where cannabis retailers can set up and how many is fascinating

    Did i say fascinating

    I meant super stupid

    For years the only retailer in our county was way up north because the south county had a bunch of church folk banding together to stop any store that tried to set up in the county seat.

    The one that did finally open basically did ao by continually trying and failing for years until he wore them down.

    And it’s not like it were stopping people from using; they just went to Spokane and the locals lost out on tax revenue.

    But they always did the whole song and dance of “what about the children” despite it being far easier for kids to get booze or pills than cannabis (here, retailers card you as soon as you walk in the door, not just at purchas)

    I mean it’s possible

    just every census tract in the whole county needs an identical concentration

    make sure you build precisely 1.23 dispensaries in each tract or similar

    I'm having a day with just absolutely zero volition. I can't even start a video game! Instead, I'm nagged with the persistent sensation that there's something I want to do, and in fact should address urgently, but I can't put my finger on what it is. Holy shit it's annoying.

    Ooh question

    Was that reg developed through the normal regulatory process or was it created by legislation

    I’m leaning on the latter because of its uselessness

    Ok I just spent a solid 30 min or hour watching the Uniter House of Prayer parade march right by my house

    It’s church marching bands (with colorguard, cheerleaders, dancers) and groups of church elders and church women’s groups from black churches up and down the eastern seaboard

    a couple of little kids carrying sousaphones bigger than they are, good adult musicians, some older ladies still doing colorguard, more enthused young ladies dancing—really fun. The bands are very gendered; you can barely be a woman and play an instrument, and there are no men dancing in any way

    and I watch this leaning on the planter of the gay pub next door and eavesdropping on these flamboyant white gay dudes planning their slutty Pride outfits

    feels very DC heh

    I threw out two thirds of the Trash Heap of Theseus that's been sitting in the hallway for way too long!

    Now I just need to get rid of the last third before it regenerates.

    @Evil Multifarious I never got to finish the campaign because of the pandemic. There’s one more session before the end of the story that I’ve never run. I’ve been mulling over having a final sesh with everyone because I have some epic shit planned

    Nexus and vanguard don’t read this!!!!
    The soul forge was already constructed, as the evil empire spent the last centuries secretly building a massive structure beneath their capital. The Dark Stars need a mortal agent to prime the forge and ignite it, so the cultist wizard goes there with the PCs to ostensibly double cross the Dark Stars.

    2 clerics in the party are aligned with the nature goddess Ildivir, who reveals the creepy underground ocean the campaign has taken place on is actually her prison. She offers the cultist a deal: ignite the forge and use it to blow apart her prison (by stealing the souls of the empire’s capital population instead of the whole planet’s), and she won’t seize back all of the life energy the clerics have been funneling into the cultist the whole campaign through healing. And the cultist can have the leftover souls from igniting the forge as a consolation prize (enough to become a demigod)

    The pcs will have to fight through the empire’s naval blockade around the capital, fight through a literal army, fight the emperor in a soul-powered nightmare-mech, and then descend into the small-city sized soul forge and confront The Dark Stars once they realize they’re being betrayed and denied their long-sought prize of this world’s life energy.

    Very relatable. This has to be in the running for one of the most annoying states of existence. Especially if it causes an entire day to be deleted via coping-naps.

    Trash Heap of Theseus is a good phrase. It's not the same trash for an extended period, but it's always the same trash heap.

    hm, if I take out the trash I won't be satisfied but at least I'll feel productive

    on the other hand, I'd have to take out the trash

    My friend and I booted up Star Citizen last night

    It's so dumb

    It took us half an hour to get into a ship together and it was a laggy mess on the main hub and I have very little faith that these systems were built in a way that will let them get polished up

    But also the feeling of wandering around a hub on foot doing some shopping and then taking off and flying to another planet and picking up some boxes and putting them in your ship is pretty fantastic

    Same for running into a Cutlass and having one player in a turret while the other flies and rolls to keep the turret pointed at them

    We also grabbed a bounty mission and on our way out found some burritos and syringes on the floor so we grabbed those before heading out to murder a guy

    Space hobos!
