I really like my Kindle Oasis. Picked it up eBay, looks like a lot of them are over $100, but you can check a few times and sort by price. Try doing some bidding or making an offer. Might take a little bit to find one, but it's a good one. 6 or 7 inch screen, really consistent backlighting, and you can message support and they'll just remove ads for you.

It's the strategy of naming your cult "The Being Good and Correct Movement" in order to mask your unhinged beliefs as sensible.

Yeah, their whole thing is just creep shit.

The upcoming "replacements" are the Artemis IV lunar space station and a bunch of proposals from different private companies who all want to be landlords of a future space station. All of these, including Artemis IV are in the "artist interpretation only" CGI picture phase, are attached to projects plagued by delays and problems, and set to launch "no sooner than" the end of 2028. Very likely, none of these will ever get off the ground.

The only project beyond this stage is the private Axiom Station, an upcoming series of modules set to launch to the ISS to allow corporate astronauts to live and work on the ISS, then detach and become a private leave-behind when the ISS deorbits. Fucking grim.

The West's only functional space station is said to be going to be decommissioned in the next few decades at some point too.

Try less than a decade. Decommissioning is currently set for 2031.

If your brother wants to get paid for caretaking, that's between him and Medicare/Medicaid, not you or your father's estate. $3000/month is an ambitious figure and I'm sure he'll have a lot of fun trying to get them to pay retroactively. Might be a good time for you or your sister to get Power of Attorney.

The whole eggs/fertility thing is really based on a huge (and largely deliberate) misunderstanding of reproductive biology and how ovarian follicles work and die. You're essentially at peak fertility at 30, most of the eggs die off before age 5.

Absolutely correct. The reality is that the money they're referring to was straight-up stolen from random civilians. Any time they say something wasn't paid for by tax payers, that means it was funded entirely by civil asset forfeiture.

We were able to purchase this equipment by pulling from different funding sources which avoided any direct cost to our taxpayers.

Uh huh, and exactly what might those sources be? It wouldn't happen to be from bribes, would it? Or maybe civil asset forfeiture?

I get a ton of nostalgia for PWA Moderne and WPA Rustic style architecture.

They just look nice!

Doug Ford's minister for reducing white powder.

snrrrt WOO!

Yep, it's been like that ever since I was born. I just have a poor immune system.

Yeah, he absolutely should test.

This actually is what happens to me every time I get a cold, the flu, RSV, anything other than just seasonal allergies.

A few years back I had a cold for like 6 weeks. Tested negative for Covid, Influenza, and RSV multiple times each during the illness but could barely even make it to the bathroom, drink, or eat.

Capitalism is a virus, Leftism is the vaccine.

The patient is an anti-vaxxer that keeps winding up in the hospital after collapsing in public and then immediately punches the first doctor they see before checking themselves out of the ER and going to a homeopath that coughs in their face.
