I read lots of books. Libby is an app to electronically check out books from your local library for free. You can also read lots of amateur stories online on various sites. Royal Road has been one of my favorite sites for regular stories that you can read in public.

Agreed. It wasn’t the right answer, but it was the one the government pursued.

Fracking was our answer to energy independence.

The church’s overall support for trump and anti-vax/anti-mask positions were a strong counter to the doctrine of sanctification, especially as support tended to increase among older populations. Sanctification is central enough to Christianity to be one of the pillars that either proves or disproves it.

I am bald, but I do this with my beard.

Governments do.

Thank you for your service!

Whenever I get Starbucks I feel guilty because they are union busters. I’ve been making a lot more coffee at home.

The release of Baldur’s Gate 3 was when I re-purchased Baldur’s Gate 1 for a play. Owned the physical for windows 98 back in the day and wanted to give it a nostalgia run while I wait for the price to come down on BG3.

Just search “sort” in the settings and you’ll find a spot where you can set the default sort. I also switched mine to hot.

If you click on the 3 dots to access the post options for a post from that instance, there is an option to filter out just that community or even that whole instance. I’ve done that with several non-english instances.

That is based on $67,000,000 per falcon 9 launch. I suspect it cost SpaceX way less to launch than that even though they might bill that amount to customers.
